OUT OF THIS WORLD
April 21, 2008
Book by Dwight Taylor & Reginald Lawrence
Music & Lyrics by Cole Porter
Revised Book by Greg MacKellan
First mounted in 1950, and now with a rapturously revised book, “Out of This World” is Cole Porter’s sassiest score, including “Use Your Imagination”, “Nobody’s Chasing Me”, “I Am Loved”, “Cherry Pies Ought To Be You” and “From This Moment On”. It’s a free and giddy adaptation of the ancient legend in which Jupiter, the most lecherous of gods, adopts a human form, all the better to escape his wife Juno and seduce the wife of a mortal. To quote Mr. Porter: “Jupiter’s much admired machinery/is looking for a change of scenery”.
