Cole Porter's You Never Know
Cole Porter
Hijinks!
by Steve Brown, Robert Kalfin, Clyde Fitch, John McKinney
Synopsis
Madame Trentoni, famous Italian opera singer, is en route to New York to make her American debut.
Captain Jinks, young dandy, wagers with two friends he can have a flirtation with her.
When he first see her he's immediately smitten with true love.
She falls for him too-- but complications ensue when she suspects he only pretends to love her to win his bet.
The original play made a star of Ethel Barrymore as Madame Trentoni-who's actually from Trenton, N.J.!
This delightful musical version incorporates many of the wonderful songs of the period which help make this fun show a delight from start to finish.
