classic musical Kiss Me Kate is
currently playing at the Alhambra
Theatre and dining and joining us this
morning we have a special surprise for
of the best cast members tracy blair
chris sanders matthew alexander and
lauren robinson so they're here to tell
us all about it this really is and
performance that has gone over the
decades and still remains very popular
sure has it it opened in 1949 on
Broadway and it was the first musical to
win the Tony Award for Best Musical
written by Cole Porter it's based on the
on the life of Alfred Lunt and Lynn
Fontanne they're backstage antics during
their production of The Taming of the
Shrew a few years earlier and it's it's
a wonderful story I said it's kind of a
husband and wife who have been divorced
and are now forced back together and
into a show and having to deal with
those relationships that take place both
on stage and off it's the classic show
within a show we perform a show while
being in our show so tell me about
adapting it to modern times I mean have
you been able to do that we do the show
as is as it's written what's interesting
is that you you find that a lot of the
material that Cole Porter wrote is very
revelant today yeah well when material
is good it translates across time yeah
that's incredible so we've got a great
cast here from all over the country
Orlando Gainesville as I like to call it
Gaines Vegas go Gators New York you're
from Connecticut so all over the place
what is it like working with people from
across the country but so many talented
minds it's so fun I mean these two are
just a master class and also just a joy
it's like one of the most fun casts I've
been in honestly it's and that is sort
of the life of an actor you sort of are
put into these casts with different
people who you most of whom never met

away
