Up next at the Mac-Haydn theatre is Kiss Me, Kate. The show opens on Thursday, July 21 and runs through Sunday, July 31.

The sophisticated, romantic and delightfully hilarious Broadway classic that earned the very first Tony award for Best Musical. Kiss Me, Kate combines the irreverent humor of four brilliant writers: Sam and Bella Spewack, Cole Porter and William Shakespeare.

The battle of the sexes takes center stage as former spouses feud onstage and off during a musical presentation of The Taming of the Shrew. Egotistical leading man, director, and producer Fred Graham and his ex-wife, Lilli Vanessi profess to hate each other. However, it soon becomes clear that their relationship is a little more complicated. Throw in some cases of mistaken identity and a few legendary comedic routines and you get Kiss Me, Kate.

Returning to the Mac-Haydn for the first time in 10 years, this production of Kiss Me, Kate is sure to be a blockbuster addition to the 2022 season. You will hear the Mac-Haydn musicians at their absolute best in this timeless score which features hits like “Another Op’nin’, Another Show”; “Always True To You In My Fashion” and “It’s Too Darn Hot”. Cole Porter’s exceptional musical will burst off the stage in our intimate setting and promises to leave you feeling so in love.

Book by Sam and Bella Spewack
Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter

‘Night and Day, Love Lost and Found Through the Eyes of Cole Porter’ at The Theater Barn

The Theater Barn, in New Lebanon, presents Night and Day, Love Lost and Found Through the Eyes of Cole Porter, from August 5th to the 15th.

The Theater Barn, in New Lebanon, presents Night and Day, Love Lost and Found Through the Eyes of Cole Porter, now through August 15th. 

This show is much more than a musical revue as it tells an original story entirely through the lyrics of Cole Porter. His beloved songs are arranged into a romantic musical that will have you tapping your toes as you sing along. Taking place in a Berkshire’s mansion, circa 1930, we see how the love our couples feel at night creates an intricacy of relationship struggles for them the next day. Only the second production ever produced, this regional premiere is going to be ‘Too Darn Hot’ to miss.

Based on an idea by Robert Cacioppo

Conceived and written by Robert Cacioppo with Arthur D’Alessio

Musical Arrangements by Victoria Casella
