Kiss Me, Kate Tour Cut Short The touring production of Kiss Me, Kate has been cut short. The cast were told after the final performance at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff on Saturday night but no reason has yet been given. A statement from the producers is expected on Tuesday. The show was due to open at Liverpool on Tuesday and then go on to Leeds, Hull, Bristol, Eastbourne, Glasgow and Canterbury. UpdateThe show's producer, 26-year old Tristan Baker, said, "The producers of Kiss Me, Kate regret to announce that the UK tour closed on Saturday, April 16 after a run of nine months. “This has been a fantastic production with an exceptionally talented cast and company that have been critically acclaimed by press and audiences up and down the country. However, this has failed to translate into the necessary box-office levels to keep a show of this size on the road.” He promised that the cast and crew's contracts would be fulfilled and that they would be paid. Baker produced the tour of Calamity Jane with Toyah Wilcox and has another productio, Love Shack, currently on the road.
