Award-winning writer and performer Lisa Faith Phillips weaves funny and touching tales of Cole Porter’s life, loves and the songs which they inspired. From his wealthy childhood in Peru, Indiana through Yale and Harvard Law School, to his marriage to Linda Thomas who accepted that he was gay, he lived in Paris for 20 years, and traveled the world, eventually moving to New York and Hollywood. In 1928 at 37 Cole’s Broadway career took off with the success of Paris, followed by many more popular shows. He wrote the music and lyrics for over one thousand songs.

An incredible storyteller her show is fascinating to watch and to listen to." - Mariya Danilenko, DC Metro Theater Arts
"A treasure trove…Phillips mixes absurdism and social satire to hilarious results…Onstage she is a force of nature and bubbly wit….She can still shake and shimmy with the best of them, look damn good doing it, and simultaneously dispense valuable wisdom…” - Jamie Lubin, The Huffington Post
"I thought this performer was outrageously funny and successfully cunning. Devilishly clever and wildly entertaining….every line demanded a boisterous laugh. She exudes inherent fun like a bottle of champagne. Uplifting and unpredictable, Lisa Faith Phillips should have delivered the damn State of the Union Address this year." - Carolyn Smith, Newyorkcool.com
