The great god Jupiter descends from Mount Olympus with one thing on his mind, bedding the mortal Helen. To win her over, he disguises himself as her husband…until his own wife Juno finds out. Based on Plautus’ classic Roman comedy Amphitryon, Cole Porter’s follow-up to Kiss Me Kate is pure musical delight, with comedic twists and mistaken identity, in a frothy blend of bawdy mythology and modern romance. Opening on Broadway in 1950, this gem from the Golden Age of musicals played for 157 performances, proving yet again, “In the land of Cole Porter, love doesn’t simply make the world go around, it gives it a giddy spin.” (New York Times)
