When It's Hot It's Cole

June 26, 2008 - July 27, 2008

A revue featuring the sparkling, sexy songs of Cole Porter.

When summer gets too darn hot, come cool off at the Zero Arrow Club, where the A.R.T. will be presenting a revue featuring the sparkling, sexy songs of Cole Porter. One of this country’s greatest songwriters, Cole Porter combined wit, longing, parodic patter, heartache, sophistication, and romance in such beloved musicals as Kiss Me Kate and Anything Goes. Ranging from risqué to romantic, Porter’s timeless lyrics have entertained and touched audiences for generations.

Come hear songs by the writer who gave us such classics as “Brush Up Your Shakespeare,” “You’re the Top,” “So in Love,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “Let’s Do It,” “Love for Sale,” and “Every Time We Say Goodbye.” Performed by longtime company actors Will LeBow, Thomas Derrah, Karen MacDonald, and Remo Airaldi (the ensemble that brought audiences the marvelous Noël Coward party last summer), joined this year by Angela Nahigian, this evening promises to be de-lovely.
