One of the Golden Age’s most celebrated musical comedies receives a refresh this winter when Kelli O’Hara and Will Chase star in the Broadway revival of Kiss Me, Kate! 

O’Hara, who recently returned reprising the role of Anna in The King and I in London, has also been spending more time in front of the camera. She received an Emmy nomination for her role in The Accidental Wolf, a thrilling web series about an affluent New York City housewife who finds herself caught up in a military cover-up. She also appeared in the second season of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why.

Those complex, dark stories are part of the reason why the Tony Award-winning actress decided to tackle this Cole Porter classic, which first premiered on Broadway more than 70 years ago.
