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

“This goofy horror comedy, based on an online game of the same name, just goes to prove that if you have a great cast, smart direction and witty script you can just about get away with murder.” — Leslie Felperin, Guardian
