New York City Center

Architect Harry P. Knowles designed New York City Center, which was built by Clinton and Russell in 1923 for the Shriners under the name of The Mecca Temple. Amid the financial crash of 1929, the building became city property after the Shriners were unable to keep up with tax payments.

Former Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia and New York City Council President Newbold Morris decided to convert the temple into Manhattan’s first performing arts center. The building opened as a theatre in December 1943.

New York City Center is known for its annual Encores! productions since 1994, which restage seldom revived American musicals in concert or semi-staged incarnations. The venue received a Tony Award for Excellence in Theatre in 2000.

Since its launch, New York City Center has become one of the city’s prime venues for dance.

In addition to the 2,557-seat mainstage, the facility houses two smaller theatres — Stage I and Stage II, where Manhattan Theatre Club has hosted its Off-Broadway productions since 1984 — and four studios.

It’s another opening of another revival of “Kiss Me, Kate”! This time, Tony Award winner Kelli O’Hara stars as leading lady Lilli Vanessi — a celebrated actor co-starring with her ex-husband, Fred Graham, in a musical production of William Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew.” The show-within-a-show casts the egotistical exes as Katherine and Petruchio, and hilarity ensues both onstage and off. Add in a secondary romance between Lois Lane, the actor playing Bianca, and her gambler boyfriend — plus a couple of gangsters and backstage shenanigans — and you have a Shakespeare classic turned on its head.
 
Cole Porter’s battle of the sexes is back on Broadway for the first time in 20 years under the direction of Scott Ellis, who also helmed the 2016 Roundabout Theatre Company concert presentation of the theatrical staple. Find out if the toxic twosome loves to hate each other or just hates love each other. Brush up your Shakespeare!
## What to watch for
In 1949, “Kiss Me, Kate” won the first Tony Award for Best Musical.

Todd Haimes, the artistic director of Roundabout Theatre Company, revealed that Roundabout has been talking about their next project with Kelli O’Hara “for years.” “It is particularly thrilling to celebrate her return to Roundabout in a role that will showcase her impeccable range and virtuosic talent as a singer, actress and comedienne, just as she did in our production of ‘The Pajama Game’ a decade ago.”

This will be the third Broadway production of “Kiss Me, Kate,” following its original 1948 production and 1999 revival.

Kiss Me, Kate on Broadway [11265] - TodayTix

Thanks to Roundabout Theatre Company, Kiss Me, Kate! – the first-ever winner of the Tony Award for “Best Musical” – returns to the Great White Way. This brand new revival of the Cole Porter musical comedy classic plays an extended limited engagement at the iconic Studio 54 from February 14 through to June 30, 2019 and stars Tony Award winner and Broadway favorite Kelli O'Hara.

On December 12, 2016, Roundabout staged a one-night-only benefit concert of Kiss Me, Kate! and enthused fans in attendance hoped that a full-scale production would not be far behind. The concert was directed by eight-time Tony Award nominee Scott Ellis and saw Kelli O’Hara and Tony Award nominee Will Chase taking on the roles of the sparring married couple Lilli Vanessi and Fred Graham, respectively. The fans’ wishes were granted in November 2017, when Roundabout did indeed announce a fully-staged Broadway revival for the 2018-2019 season. Even better news was that Ms. O’Hara and Mr. Chase had both signed on to reprise their roles for the production, once again under the direction of Scott Ellis. Enlisting Tony Award-winning choreographer Warren Carlyle and “High School Musical” and Broadway alum Corbin Bleu (playing Bill Calhoun) was the cherry on top of the musical cake.

Kiss Me, Kate! features a book by Samuel and Bella Spewack (who were reportedly experiencing marital troubles of their own at the time). The husband-and-wife writing team had been approached in 1947 by producer Arnold Saint-Subber who had witnessed the domestic unrest between Alfred Lunt and his wife Lynn Fontanne, both on and off the stage, during a 1935 production of The Taming of the Shrew, inspiring the story of the future musical. The Spewacks, in turn, enlisted Cole Porter to write the score, which would ultimately include such standards as “Too Darn Hot,” “So In Love,” and “Always True To You In My Fashion.”

After a brief, pre-Broadway tryout in Philadelphia, Kiss Me, Kate! officially opened at the New Century Theatre on Broadway on December 30, 1948. The original production, which starred Alfred Drake, Patricia Morison, Lisa Kirk, and Harold Lang, went on to win the first-ever Tony Award for “Best Musical” in 1949. Indeed, it won all five categories in which it was nominated (including “Best Author (Musical)” for the Spewacks, “Best Original Score” for Cole Porter, “Best Costume Design” for Lemuel Ayers, and “Best Producer of a Musical” for Arnold Saint-Subber and Lemuel Ayers). Since then, Kiss Me, Kate! has enjoyed a brief Broadway revival in 1952 and a 1999 production that became a Tony Award-winning “Best Revival of a Musical” in 2000. The musical has been performed in numerous West End engagements from 1951 to 2018 and was also adapted into a film in 1953, starring Kathryn Grayson and Howard Keel.

Studio 54

The Studio 54 first opened in 1927 as the Gallo Opera House, and it operated as a music hall, broadcast soundstage, and nightclub (under the name Casino de Paree) until entrepreneurs Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager bought the building.

Under their ownership, the Studio 54 nightclub opened in 1977 and quickly became one of the world's most famous clubs, with frequent celebrity guests. The venue also operated under the name of The Ritz from 1989 until early 1993, and then as Cabaret Royale until 1995.

Roundabout Theatre Company's production of *Cabaret* played at Studio 54 in 1998 after the collapse of a construction hoist blocked access to the Henry Miller (now Stephen Sondheim) Theatre. In 2003, Roundabout purchased the building, and the company still hosts Broadway productions there and rents the venue out to other producers.
