Cole Porter<\/strong>‘s songs epitomize cool urban sophistication. \u00a0Delightful melodies pair with lyrics that are known for clever double-entendres and yet maintain a graceful eloquence. \u00a0Join us to hear beautiful, familiar American classics such as: \u00a0“Night and Day,” ” Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love),” \u00a0“You’re the Top,” ” Anything Goes,” ” I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Too Darn Hot”, “Another Op’nin’, Another Show,” \u00a0“I Love Paris,” \u00a0“It’s De-Lovely!” and more!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe light touch, the finger-tip kiss, the double entendre, and the lacy lists of cosmopolitan superlatives \u2013 these were the marks of Cole Porter\u2019s songs.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cCole Porter was the master of the witty, sophisticated song.\u201d<\/p>\n
