We’re returning this spring with a new musical revue called MRS. PARKER, MR. PORTER. Featuring the glorious music of Cole Porter and the blazing wit of Dorothy Parker.

Cole, Dorothy, four singers and a live band perform  Just One of Those Things, Begin the Beguine, Night and Day, You’re the Top, and 21 other Porter hits (and a few rarities!), interspersed with some of Parker’s most delightful poems, anecdotes and famous one-liners (“Brevity is the soul of lingerie!”) that made her the toast of the literary world.

Along the way, these two brilliant American icons banter with each other, reminisce and tell stories about their often funny, sometimes poignant, and always fascinating lives and careers. 

It’s a delightful confection of wonderful songs and sparkling dialog that will open March 6 at the beautiful Open Book in downtown Minneapolis (on Washington Avenue, right between the Guthrie and US Bank Stadium) and run weekends thru March 29. Tickets will go on sale in February 2026 – watch this space for more details!
