KISS Me, Kate, the classic musical comedy with an iconic score by Cole Porter and a book by Sam and Bella Spewack, is coming to the Lyric in Belfast next month.

Running from February 1 to 22, the co-production with Northern Ireland Opera is directed by Walter Sutcliffe and will feature a stellar cast performing show-stopping numbers including Too Darn Hot, Another Op'nin', Another Show and Wunderbar.

Well-known Northern Ireland actress Jayne Wisener will play Lois Lane, joined by Scottish actor Norman Bowman as Fred Graham and well-known Australian stage and screen actress Melle Stewart as Lilli Vanessi.

"Audiences will enjoy Cole Porter’s exquisite and famous songs performed by an incredible cast and get a glimpse behind the scenes of theatre life from the height of the jazz era," says Lyric executive producer Jimmy Fay.
