About

This new release from Naxos Musicals features three of Cole Porter’s musical masterpieces, with two original cast recordings and a film soundtrack.

Can-Can, Cole Porter's ‘Gay Paree’ musical is about the introduction in Montmartre in 1896 of the notorious Can-Can dance. Simone Pistache, the perky and vivacious owner of a Parisian cafe, aided by her swingin' boyfriend Francois Dumais is trying to keep her establishment from being closed down by the Paris authorities because of Simone's insistence on treating her patrons to the Can-Can, the salacious dance outlawed by French law.

In Mexican Hayride the story takes place South of the Border, where American fugitive from justice Joe Bascom searches for con man Harry Lambert for whom Bascom had been a fall guy. The Pirate is a romantic comedy which tells the story of the troubadour Serafin, who pretends to be a bloodthirsty pirate in order to woo Manuela, a well-born West Indian girl who is betrothed to another.
