A LITTLE piece of Broadway will be arriving in York next month.
Members of York Light Opera begin their 2006/2007 season with a celebration of the life and music of Cole Porter, Broadway's greatest wit.
A scintillating mixture of biography and song, Red Hot & Cole celebrates the great American songwriter who brought style, elegance and sophistication to Broadway and Hollywood, delighting the world with his clever rhymes, unexpected melodies and sassy, sexy sensibility.
York Light Opera's Tony Reeves says: "Red Hot & Cole bubbles with songs that have become international standards, from such classic shows and movies as Anything Goes, Kiss Me Kate, High Society and Can-Can.
"It traces Porter's life from his childhood in Indiana to the stages and penthouses of New York, London, Paris and Venice. It's a champagne tribute to a glittering age gone by, and the man and talent who was Cole Porter."
The show - the first by York Light Opera to be staged at the Friargate Theatre - will be directed by Phill Ruddy, and will feature a cast of 11.
