SHOW SYNOPSIS: In this delightful musical about the King of Musicals, Cole Porter. Writers Green and Strachan have cleverly put together most of Cole’s hit tunes with a narration that tells the story of his life, from Yale to Paris to Manhattan to Broadway to Hollywood– and, ultimately, back once again to Broadway. A lovely evening featuring Porter standards, including “I Love Paris,” “Take Me Back to Manhattan,” “Love for Sale,” “Night and Day,” and “I Get a Kick Out of You.”
