Production details
Welcome to Padua, Texas, where men are men and cattle are nervous... When Petruchio rides into town seeking fortune and a wife, he sets his sights on beautiful, ferocious Kate. He’ll do anything to tame her and get a ring on her finger. But the wedding’s a joke and the marriage a farce. Who wins in this barn-storming comedy of brawling lovers? Queen’s Artistic Director Bob Carlton brings alive the romance and excitement of the Wild West in this gun-blazing comedy, cramming it with rollicking country melodies such as Gene Autry’s Back in the Saddle Again, Frankie Lane’s High Noon and Tumbling Tumbleweeds by The Sons of the Pioneers - all performed live on stage by cut to the chase...Special Performances
