WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Considered one of the greatest comedies ever written, Noël Coward's Private Lives premiered in London in 1930 and has been produced around the world ever since; it premiered on Broadway in 1931. Glamorous, rich and reckless, Amanda (Kim Cattrall) and Elyot (Paul Gross) have been divorced from each other for five years. Now both are honeymooning with their new spouses in the South of France. When, by chance, they meet again across adjoining hotel balconies, their insatiable feelings for each other are immediately rekindled. They hurl themselves headlong into love and lust without a care for scandal, new partners or memories of what drove them apart in the first place...for a little while, anyway.

RE:Not to be missed!
Paul Gross and Kim Cattrall bring a fresh honesty and strong sexual chemistry rarely found in productions of the Coward classic. Currently selling out in Toronto after a successful West End run.

When Noel Coward fought the flu aboard a tramp steamer one weekend by writing Private Lives for his great friend Gertrude Lawrence and himself, he may have thought he was tossing off a mere bagatelle. What he wrought instead is a comedy that represents the epitome of 1930s sophistication, as proven by the new Broadway production of Private Livesat the Music Box Theatre, with Kim Cattrall and Paul Gross performing sleekly enough to suggest they're a modern-day Noel and Gertie.
Indeed, the production, directed debonairly by Sir Richard Eyre, is so close to ideal that spectators caught caviling should be led to a corner and forced to hunker there until they come to their senses.
