THIS CONCERT IS TOO DARN HOT!

The Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra and Chagrin Valley Little Theatre join
to present a ‘concert performance’ of Cole Porter’s classic musical
comedy, *Kiss
Me, Kate*. The full 27-member Studio Orchestra will be on stage with the
singer / actors in a lightly staged full production. Featuring a special
guest appearance by ELEVĀTED <https://www.elevateddancehq.com/> Dance
Company, 1st place winner 2022 of World of Dance Competition.
BRUSH UP YOUR SHAKESPEARE!

*Kiss Me, Kate* includes well-known songs like “Another Op’nin’, Another
Show”, “So In Love” and the ever popular “Brush Up Your Shakespeare” –
performed by the two wacky gangsters (Don Bernardo and Eric Oswald)
stealing the show as they chase the leading lady around the theater!

*Kiss Me Kate* tells the tale of two once-married, now-divorced musical
theater actors, egotistical leading man Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi, who
are forced to perform opposite each other in a Broadway-bound musical
version of William Shakespeare’s *The Taming of the Shrew*, in the roles of
Petruchio and Katharina.

As the battle of the sexes continues onstage and off, it becomes clear that
as much as this couple professes to hate each other, they are also still in
love. Throw a number of cases of mistaken identity, some gangsters, and
additional romantic entanglements into the mix.
