Millikan High School Auditorium (Long Beach, CA)
Kiss Me, Kate is Cole Porter’s jazzy musical comedy about a former husband-and-wife acting team at war with each other while trying to stage a production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. Scenery-chewing director and actor Fred Graham and his ex-wife Lili Vanessi are a perfect portrayal of a “can’t live with them, can’t live without ’em” couple, as well a brilliantly funny rendering of overwrought, egotistical artistic types. The show’s original 1948 production won five Tony awards, including Best Musical. It features classic Cole Porter numbers such as “Too Darn Hot,” “I Hate Men” and “Brush Up Your Shakespeare.” See this Go-Fame youth production in Long Beach at Millikan High School.
