Fred Graham / Petruchio
Cole Porter's beloved classic receives "Another Op'nin, Another Show", in this masterful 1999 London revival of the Tony Award winning musical Kiss Me, Kate! When the egotistical Fred Graham mounts a musical adaptation of The Taming of The Shrew (with himself as director, producer, and star) he’s got the perfect leading lady in mind: his movie star ex-wife! The fireworks both onstage and off between the two seem destined to explode the entire production…or will a romantic flame that’s Too Darn Hot be rekindled? With backstage shenanigans, gangsters brushing up their Shakespeare, and a collection of Porter tunes that any Tom, Dick, or Harry will love, Kiss Me, Kate remains an all-time favorite of musical fans from Padua to Peoria.
The classic musical by Bernstein, Comden and Green is performed live in concert in Berlin, starring Audra McDonald, Thomas Hampson, Brent Barrett and Kim Criswell, and conducted by Simon Rattle.
Soap Actor
Un grupo de ocho amigos gays, la mayoría pertenecientes al mundo del espectáculo, lleva una vida tranquila en las playas de California. En julio de 1981, por primera vez, un artículo en el New York Times habla de una nueva forma de cáncer que afecta principalmente a los homosexuales. El sida comienza su larga y terrible obra destructiva. Un filme acerca de la plaga de los 80, el sida, desde una perspectiva que evita tanto el exceso de ternura como el morbo. Destaca el estupendo trabajo interpretativo de un elenco de actores encabezado por Bruce Davison ("X-Men"), que fue candidato al Óscar al mejor secundario.
