Synopsis

A company of singer-comedians charts a worldly tour of love and status through Cole Porter’s catalogue. Numbers like “I’ve a Shooting Box in Scotland” and “Find Me a Primitive Man” skewer privilege and desire; “Down in the Depths,” “Always True to You in My Fashion,” and “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” trace heartbreak, pragmatism, and obsession; “Friendship,” “Well, Did You Evah!,” and “You’re the Top” celebrate camaraderie and one-upmanship. Brief sketches and patter link the songs, moving from salons to nightclubs and back, painting a brisk, sophisticated portrait of modern manners.
