It was his urbane wit and musical complexity that won audiences over and the affection of the entire world.
This year being the 50th anniversary of Cole Porter’s death, it seems appropri-ate to take a moment to relish his clever melodies and witty lyrics in this funny and touching musical. So sit back and enjoy HIGH SOCIETY as our amazingly talented cast share with you the many reasons why Cole Porter’s songs are so De Lovely. (Sorry... couldn’t help myself!)

High Society, the story of Tracy Samantha Lord’s impending nuptials, started life in 1939 as Philip Barry’s play The Philadelphia Story, starring Katharine Hepburn. The following year, +HSEXUQ�WRRN�WKH�SOD\�WR�+ROO\ZRRG��DQG�VWDUUHG�LQ�WKH�ÀOP�YHUVLRQ�RSSRVLWH�&DU\�*UDQW�and James Stewart.

Sixteen years later, Cole Porter (see Writer bio) would add music – ten new songs to be performed by no less than Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Louis Armstrong. In 1998, the story came back to Broadway, with Porter’s songs still attached.
When we meet Tracy Lord, with her mother and younger sister Dinah, she is busy preparing for her second wedding at the estate of her rather absent-minded Uncle Willie. It doesn’t WDNH�ORQJ�IRU�KHU�ÀUVW�KXVEDQG��&�.��'H[WHU�+DYHQ��WR�DUULYH��EHDULQJ�QHZV�WKDW�KH�KDV�invited a couple of tabloid reporters from Spy magazine to cover her wedding.
Sure as point-and-shooting, writer Mike Connor and photographer Liz Imbrie arrive to work undercover on their inside scoop article. In order to keep Spy readers unaware of the Lord family’s marital problems, Tracy introduces Uncle Willie as her father, which only works out until Tracy’s father Seth shows up himself.

Everyone’s memory is a bit foggy the next morning, but not foggy enough to keep George from leaving. Mike and Liz remember that they never wanted to be millionaires, Tracy’s parents have reunited, and love is in the air. But with the wedding planned and guests arriving, who will be the groom? It seems that sometimes “just one of those things” can turn out to be “true love” after all.

the song “Let’s Do It, Let’s Fall In Love.” This was followed by Fifty Million Frenchmen, which featured “You Do Something To Me” and “You’ve Got That Thing.” Throughout the 1930s, Porter could do no wrong, with shows such as The New Yorkers, Gay Divorcee, Jubilee, and

He also continued to work in Hollywood, writing the scores for two Fred Astaire movies, Broadway Melody of 1940, which featured “I Concentrate On You,” and “You’ll Never Get Rich.” He later wrote the songs for the Gene Kelly/Judy Garland musical The Pirate. The movie musical High Society (1956), starring Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Grace Kelly, had Porter’s last major hit, “True Love.”
Porter died from kidney failure on 15 October 1964. He was 73.
