With sparkling humor, sharp dialogue and unforgettable songs, "Kiss Me, Kate" brings Broadway glamour to Weimar - a turbulent musical about love, vanity and the pitfalls of the theater that transforms Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" into a fast-paced play of emotions.
Musical star Lilli Vanessi and her producer and acting partner Fred Graham have a relationship crisis: in the musical version of Shakespeare's comedy "The Taming of the Shrew", the sparks fly between them. And when two theater-loving gangsters come into play to blackmail Fred, a crazy thriller unfolds that causes comedic confusion.
How can you break hearts? "Look up Shakespeare!" is a tip for everyone. This and many other catchy tunes have made the musical a worldwide success since its premiere in 1948. Award-winning actor and director André Kaczmarczyk will stage the Broadway hit and shed a colorful light on the story full of relationship crises from today's perspective.
