In a mixture of a mood, music and biography, this is a revue of not only
the art, but the man who was Cole Porter. We trace his life from Indiana
to the world stages; through his marriage, his friendships with the greats
of his age and the tragic riding accident that crippled him in
mid-career. Enduring, sophisticated and deliciously wicked - over thirty
Porter standards!
