"In the depths of the 1930's, Annie is a fiery young orphan girl who
must live in a miserable orphanage run by the tyrannical Miss Hannigan.
Her seemingly hopeless situation changes dramatically when she is
selected to spend a short time at the residence of the wealthy
munitions industrialist, Oliver Warbucks. Quickly, she charms the
hearts of the household staff and even the seemingly cold-hearted
Warbucks cannot help but learn to love this wonderful girl." (summary by imdb.com) |

"The year is 1941. The location is a small house next to a cemetery in
Brooklyn. In this house live two kind, thoughtful, sweet old ladies,
Martha and Abby Brewster who have developed a very bad habit. It
appears that they murder lonely old men who have some sort of religious
affiliation and they consider doing it a charity. They then leave it to
their bugle blowing nephew Teddy (who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt) to
take them to the Panama Canal (the cellar) and bury them. In this
instance, the "poor fellow" suffers from yellow fever found in the
window seat. It is another of their nephews Mortimer Brewster, a
dramatic critic, who returns home only to find the man in the seat by
mistake." (summary

"Here is a wild farce with twists of fate, sight gags, mistaken
identities and hilarious comic lines. Jon Trachtman and Leslie Arthur
are out of work musicians who room together in New York City. To save
money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the pair as a married.
The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs
the "couple" they're going to be investigated by a Mr. Spinner. Leslie
masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jon's fiancee, Kate. Complicating
matters further Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jon's back,
Jon's mother drops in unexpectedly to meet her son's fiancee, and
Leslie's ex girlfriend shows up demanding to know why Leslie has
changed and won't see her anymore." (summary by

"Combine Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" with Porter's music and
lyrics to get KISS ME, KATE an instant success with every cast and
audience. This is a play-within-a-play where each cast member's
on-stage life is complicated by what is happening offstage. Musical
numbers include Why Can't You Behave, So In Love Am I, Wunderbar, Tom,
Dick or Harry, Were Thine That Special Face, Too Darn Hot, Brush Up
Your Shakespeare, I Hate Men, Always True to You (In My Fashion) and
Another Op'nin, Another Show. KISS ME, KATE is fun, melodious and
sophisticated." (summary
