"Another Op'nin', Another Show" - this year LADOS brought Cole Porter's homage to the sparkling wit of Shakespeare back to the Grand. The show is described as a 'battle of the sexes' and gives a hint of the craziness of working in the theatre.
With show-stopping songs including "Brush Up Your Shakespeare", "Wunderbar" this show was "Too Darn Hot" to miss!
