One of the most raucous, rowdy and enduring romances of all time, Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate is a mix of an on-stage Taming of the Shrew and a backstage Peyton Place.
It's easy to see why this enduring love story was the first ever winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical. One hit song after another: "Wunderbar," "So In Love," "Why Can't You Behave," "Too Darn Hot," "From This Moment On" - will all have you wanting to "Brush Up Your Shakespeare."
