What's On Our upcoming performance
Theatre South Presents
Kiss Me Kate
Eastwood Park Theatre, Giffnock, Glasgow.
23rd to 27th March 2010
A must-see spectacular! One of the very best musicals of all time! Enjoy the fabulous music and lyrics of the legendary Cole Porter in this dazzling musical which was revised in 1999 for Broadway and the West End, and has won 17 Tony awards. Kiss Me, Kate is sexy and sassy, with dazzling dancing, and an exciting set and costumes, this show is not to be missed.
So what's Kiss Me Kate about?
While cast members of a musical version of The Taming of the Shrew celebrate "Another Op'nin', Another Show", the shows stars, Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi, celebrate the first anniversary of their divorce. They take time from their bickering to recall they had once sung "Wunderbar" in a long-forgotten operetta. Lilli receives a bouquet from Fred, leading her to believe he still loves her, and she confesses she is still "So in Love" with him, but when she learns the flowers are meant for Lois, the shows ingenue, she determines to be revenged. Fred's problems are compounded when Lois' boyfriend, Bill Calhoun, signs Fred's name to a gambling debt. Opening night is peppered by warfare between Fred and Lilli, and by demands from two comic hoods for payment of the debt. In the course of the evening Fred and Lilli recognize they still do love each other.
Music and Lyrics by COLE PORTER. Book by SAM and BELLA SPEWACK. Produced by arrangement with MusicScope
