Hot 'n Cole : a Cole Porter celebration
by Cole Porter
On This Page
Description
The spotlight is on the timelessness of Cole Porter classics, presented here with wonderfully fresh arrangements and a contemporary twist. Over fifty of his songs are woven into an entertainment that feels as much like a book musical as a revue. By turns wry, irreverent, romantic, touching and hilarious, this is a post modern Cole Porter evening unlike any other.Tags
