The classic Cole Porter musical Kiss Me Kate returns to London on June 4th at the Barbican, starring multi-award-winning actor Adrian Dunbar ('Line of Duty') and Tony Award-winning musical superstar Stephanie J. Block ('Into The Woods', '9 to 5').
A new production arrives from the Producer of 'Anything Goes'. Featuring razor-sharp-witted lyrics from Cole Porter, Kiss Me Kate is ‘The ultimate Broadway musical from the golden age’ (Financial Times) and is described as Shakespeare meets Broadway musical comedy meets 'Noises Off'.
Adrian Dunbar stars as Fred Graham with Stephanie J. Block making her debut on the West End stage as Lilli Vanessi.
Bartlett Sher directs the production that features a company of over 50, including a full-scale orchestra. Kiss Me, Kate features classic songs including 'Brush Up Your Shakespeare', 'Another Op'nin, Another Show', and 'Tom, Dick or Harry'.
Kiss Me, Kate is the original comedic farce that will whisk you away into a world of romantic entanglements and backstage chaos. It’s the perfect musical for Summer, 2024.
