Kiss Me, Kate at Sidney Harman Hall

Put up your jazz hands for Cole Porter's witty musical comedy about a former husband-and-wife acting team waging war against each other while trying to stage a production of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Actor/director Fred Graham and his ex-wife, actress Lili Vanessi, are the quintessential "can't-live-with-'em, can't-live-without-'em" couple, and a brilliantly funny rendering of egotistical artistic types. In its original 1948 production, Kiss Me, Kate won five Tony awards, including the first-ever award for Best Musical. It features classic Cole Porter numbers like "Too Darn Hot," "I Hate Men" and "Brush Up Your Shakespeare." Now you can take a trip back to the golden age of Hollywood when the show The New York Times called at "milestone musical" comes to Sidney Harman Hall in DC.
