Choose options
Cole Porter and Dwight Taylor’s classic 1932 musical comedy 'Gay Divorce' received a celebrated, long-running Off-Broadway revival at the historic Cherry Lane Theatre in 1960. The fast-paced farcical plot centers on Guy Holden, a dashing American writer who travels to an elegant English seaside resort and is instantly mistaken for a professional, hired co-respondent in a high-society divorce trap, collapsing into frantic panic as he attempts to woo the beautiful Mimi. Directed by Mitchell Nestor and featuring a jazz-infused chamber orchestration, this production proved the enduring strength of Porter’s score, which introduced the standard "Night and Day."
