There is an excellent mix of classic plays and newer titles, as well as a well-rounded combination of serious and silly. From Cole Porter to Reaganomics, the season reflects some of the best theater of the 20th and 21st Centuries.
So it was with a certain anxiety that I made my way to the Pheasantry in London’s King’s Road to watch John Standing sing the songs of Noël Coward. Earlier this year he delivered a similar programme of Cole Porter numbers at the same venue, which... Full Article at The Telegraph

Composer Cole Porter was spot on: whether you’re here in the springtime, the autumn, the winter (when it drizzles) or the summer (when it sizzles!), the world’s most romanticised city – with its tree-shaded boulevards, iconic monuments, lamplit bridges, wicker chair–lined cafe terraces, chic fashion sen...
I had lots of suggestions from people in the record business, my friends, ‘Lionel you should do a Gershwin album, a tribute to Gershwin.’ ‘Lionel, you should do a tribute to Cole Porter.’ ‘Lionel, you should do Nat King Cole’s catalog,’ ... And, I kept thinking, ‘Why don’t I do Lionel Richie’s catalog?’...
I think Larry David had to hold himself in with executives breathing down his neck ... so he needed to take a very sophisticated route to some of his jokes. The euphemisms he comes up with in The Contest are just brilliant – it's comparable to a Cole Porter song.
I knew I needed a new show ... and I had always loved Noel Coward - his roots were mine. Together with Cole Porter, I feel Cheek to Chic gives the best of British and America in the art deco era.
The woman can sing and indisputably knows how to reach out across the footlights . . . Jordan showed ample voice, bringing heft to music of the Gershwins and Cole Porter without pushing volume levels. Clearly she values plush sound and knows how to produce it.
You can't beat Cole Porter ... but it's so inspiring to see the future. I feel like my heart is going to explode. It makes me want to get up and be part of it.
If anything, I would somehow love to be connected to the incredible North American tradition of songwriting … whether it's Cole Porter or Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen. If I can get into that fantastic tradition, I'd be more than satisfied. That, in the end, is the most important thing to me.
Cole Porter is one of the American musical theater's most honored wordsmiths ... His gift for using rhyme and alliteration as tools to deliver wit and pun is virtually unmatched in musical theater history.
I’ve always been in love with the ’30s, Fred Astaire and screwball comedies ... There’s a little bit of tap dancing in the play, a whole intermission act where a singer sings Cole Porter and Noel Coward, so in a way it’s a celebration of that.
I was trying to write a song like Cole Porter. Me and a million other people are trying to write a song like Cole Porter

I first wanted to call it, ‘Paul Simon and Cole Porter: It’s Delightful, It’s De-lovely, It’s Depressing,’ ... Paul Simon can have some dark lyrics. But these are two of our finest songwriters, who cut across cultures and generations, and I thought it was a perfect way to start at the Smith Center.
Cole Porter and Paul Simon walk into a bar...
were not excited when the title was announced because they didn't recognize it. I said, 'Wait until you hear Cole Porter; you're going to love it. It ended up being true. What was old, nostalgic and sentimental to me was brand new to their ears — this early popular music that is so singable, and express...
Think of any other form of consumer entertainment. Would you expect an old film to win at the Oscars this year? The idea just sounds ridiculous, right? Or would we expect Cole Porter to be at the top of the radio charts?
Cole Porter was a member of the Whiffs
It's a lovely mix of classics like numbers by Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Cole Porter, and lesser-known pieces that you will hear for the first time and love
I haven’t done a Cole Porter show in the 11½ years that I’ve been here
