The London production of Kiss Me, Kate, led by Tony winner Stephanie J. Block, will arrive on PBS as part of its Great Performances series May 30. Check out the company performing the Cole Porter classic "Too Darn Hot" in the video above. Click here to see Block and Adrian Dunbar sing "Wunderbar."
Kiss Me, Kate will air May 30 at 9 PM ET on PBS, and the production will be available for streaming on until June 30.
This revival of Kiss Me, Kate ran at London's Barbican Theatre last year. The Porter and Bella and Samuel Spewack musical follows a group of thespians as they put on a production of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.
The London production was directed by Tony winner Bartlett Sher and starred Block as Lilli Vanessi and Katharine, Dunbar as Fred Graham and Petruchio, Charlie Stemp as Bill Calhoun and Lucentio, Georgina Onuorah as Lois Lane and Bianca, Hammed Animashaun as Gangster, Nigel Lindsay as Gangster, and Peter Davison as General Harrison Howell.
