Kiss Me, Kate

Art imitates life in the classic Cole Porter musical Kiss Me, Kate, as a theatrical troupe presents Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew in Baltimore, MD. The egotistical performer Fred Graham is reunited with his ex-wife Lilli Vanessi in the leading roles of Petruchio and Kate. Throughout the show they fight and obviously still love each other. Also in the troupe are Bill Calhoun, an irresponsible gambler, and the girl he’s got his eye on, Lois Lane. Songs include “Too Darn Hot,” “Another Op’nin’, Another Show,” and “Brush Up Your Shakespeare.”
