"Roundabout’s big, boisterous, brawling Kiss Me, Kate is a revival to fall for.”
—NY1

At last, Broadway is sizzling again with musical comedy magic.

Roundabout’s Tony Award nominated Best Musical Revival of Kiss Me, Kate combines spectacular song, and megawatt star power, and the Tony nominated Best Choreography of the year in a “Too Darn Hot” blockbuster that has made the critics—and the whole city—fall so in love.

Best Actress Tony nominee Kelli O’Hara, Will Chase, and Corbin Bleu lead the cast in this evening of romance, passion and comedy about a fiery couple of co-stars feuding onstage and off. The result is a New York Times Critic’s Pick that’s “utterly, deliriously fun” (The New York Observer).
