WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The summer musical event of 2007 will be a world premiere re-envisioning of Cole Porter's musical Can-Can with a new book by David Lee and Joel Fields. Can-Can centers on Pistache, the only woman in Paris who owns a café that features the sexy and provocative Can-Can. During this dazzling, if not naughty, evening of musical theater, Pistache faces both a fervent attempt to shut down her business as well as her own complications in love.

And no one can quibble about the hit parade of Cole Porter tunes that brighten this tale set in late 19th-century Paris.
