Yippy-ti-yi-yo! Welcome to Tombstone, Arizona, 1880, via Hollywood, 1955. Everyone wants to marry the beautiful Bianca, but her Father won’t consider any of her suitors until he’s successfully married off her cantankerous older sister, Kate. Along comes Petruchio, strummin' his way from St. Louie, seeking his fortune... and a rich wife. Bianca's desperate suitors hire Petruchio to woo and tame “Kate the curst,” and the battle of wills is on. But human will–of either the male or female variety–is no match for the boy Cupid. A classic love story of rootin'-tootin' proportions... with original old-timey cowboy songs!
“Ain’t I never heard the coyote howl
Ain’t I never heard the grizzly growl
Ain’t I heard the wind and thunder
Tryin’ to rend the sky asunder
You can’t fright me with a woman’s tongue."
– Petruchio
A little inspiration for our Wild West version of "The Taming of the Shrew"
