Cole (May 1998)
Aberdeen Arts Centre
Phoenix Theatre turns its attention to one of the 20th Century's most prolific and best-loved song-writers.
Cole is based around the words and music of Cole Porter and is bursting with dozens of well-loved show-stoppers such as 'Another Openin', Another Show', 'Night and Day', 'It's Delovely' and 'I Get a Kick Out of You'. These songs are interspersed with entertaining and witty narrations and dialogues which cleverly tell of Porter's life and times.
Take 50 of Cole Porter's finest songs, add an inspired script and, of course, Phoenix Theatre's customary bold and colourful staging and you have a sure-fire recipe for an evening of pure enjoyment.
“...the Phoenix cast perform a healthy slice of Porter’s repertoire with satisfying authenticity...”
