CenterPoint Legacy Theatre | Currently Showing: Kiss Me Kate (June-July 2024)
Introducing the Broadway classic, Kiss Me Kate, a dazzling musical comedy that will sweep you off your feet! Set in the glamorous world of showbiz, this amusing tale follows the hilarious backstage antics of a touring production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. As the leading lady, Lilli clashes with her ex-husband and co-star, Fred Graham, both on and off the stage, their fiery chemistry ignites a whirlwind of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and uproarious comedy. With toe-tapping songs, dazzling dance numbers, and a dash of Shakespearean charm, Kiss Me Kate is a delightful theatrical experience that will leave you smiling, laughing, and humming its catchy tunes long after the curtain falls.
