People behind the production
Welcome to the performer page for Cole Porter’s Out Of This World, a dynamic exploration of the songwriter’s enduring influence as a performer in the broader Great American Songbook tradition. Porter wrote both music and lyrics for this Broadway adaptation, a 1950s-era project that connected classical storytelling with mid-century theatrical flair. The show opened on December 21, 1950 at the New Century Theatre and ran through May 5, 1951, delivering 157 performances. The production featured major figures in movement and staging, with Agnes de Mille overseeing the staging and Hanya Holm handling choreography. Today, Porter’s work continues to inspire contemporary performers and audiences through curated concerts, festivals, and educational programs designed to keep this legacy alive for new generations. Here you’ll find a concise biography, discography highlights, and up-to-date tour information to help you secure seats and experience Porter’s music in a live setting.
