A new teaser trailer has dropped for the glittering new revival of classic Cole Porter musical comedy Kiss Me, Kate, coming to the Barbican Theatre in Summer 2024.

The show stars multi-award-winning actor Adrian Dunbar (Line of Duty) and three-time Tony Award winner Stephanie J. Block (The Cher Show, Falsettos), alongside Olivier nominee Charlie Stemp (Crazy For You, Mary Poppins) and rising star Georgina Onuorah (The Wizard of Oz, Oklahoma!).

The cast also includes Olivier Award nominee Nigel Lindsay (Victoria, Shrek The Musical, An Enemy of the People) and What’s On Stage Award winner Hammed Animashaun (A Midsummer Night’s Dream / Black Ops).

The revival is directed by Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher (The King & I), and produced by Trafalgar Theatre Productions (Anything Goes).

This sophisticated, ferociously funny musical brilliantly showcases Cole Porter’s razor-sharp wit, and won Best Musical at the Tony Awards. The show is set in the world of backstage chaos and romantic entanglements, as a theatre company attempt to put on a production of Shakespeare’s ‘The Taming of the Shrew’.

Kiss Me, Kate has music and lyrics by Cole Porter, a book by Bella and Samuel Spewack, and is packed full of memorable songs including ‘Another Op’nin’ Another Show,’ ‘Brush Up Your Shakespeare,’ ‘Always True to You in My Fashion’ and ‘Too Darn Hot.’

Kiss Me, Kate will run at the Barbican Theatre for 15 weeks from 4 June to 14 September 2024.
