FORT MYERS, FL – Florida Repertory Theatre extends the world premiere of “Night and Day: Love Lost and Found through the Eyes of Cole Porter” through March 11, 2018, in the ArtStage Studio Theatre.
“Night and Day” features 36 of the most beloved songs our time such as “Anything Goes,” “You’re the Top,” “I’ve Got You Under my Skin,” and the title song, “Night and Day.” Priced at $55 for regular performances and $35 for previews, tickets are available at www.FloridaRep.org and through the box office at 239-332-4488. Seating is limited in the intimate 115-seat venue, and tickets are selling fast.
Conceived and directed by Florida Rep Founder and Producing Artistic Director, Robert Cacioppo, “Night and Day” is a thrilling and glamorous revue that tells a story of love lost and love found with only Cole Porter’s masterful lyrics and iconic music. Made famous on film, Broadway, and a recording career that spanned decades, Porter’s songs are some of the most beloved of the 20th century, and in “Night and Day” they’re used to tell the story of two couples finding falling in – and out – of love.
“Night and Day” features an all-star cast of top musical theatre talent, all making their Florida Rep debuts: Dan Fenaughty, Travis Kent, Larissa Klinger, and Jennifer Lorae. Fenaughty was last seen in Riverside Theatre’s “Mame” and the national tour of “The 39 Steps,” and Kent recently appeared on Broadway in Seth Rudetsky’s “Disaster!” Klinger comes to Fort Myers after a recent world tour entertaining our troops with the USO Show Troupe and the national tour of “The 39 Steps,” while Lorae joins the cast after recent runs Off-Broadway and in major regional theatres across the country. Paul Gary, a performance intern here at Florida Rep, makes his ArtStage debut as The Butler.
Robert Cacioppo (“Too Marvelous for Words,” “Fascinatin’ Gershwin”) leads an expert creative team, including musical director and arranger Victoria Casella (“Fascinatin’ Gershwin”); ensemble member, choreographer, and co-creator Arthur D’Alessio (“Too Marvelous for Words”); set designer Jordan Moore (“Shear Madness”); costume designer Charlene Gross (“Outside Mullingar”); sound designer John Kiselica (“Disgraced”); and ensemble manager Amy Massari (“Sylvia”).
