Tony winner Stephanie J. Block is currently across the pond starring in a London revival of Kiss Me, Kate at the Barbican Theatre, and a new video offers a look at her performance. See the Broadway favorite sing "So in Love" from the Cole Porter score in the video above.

The Bartlett Sher-directed revival opened June 18 and continues through September 14.

Along with Block, the cast is led by Adrian Dunbar as Fred Graham and Petruchio, Charlie Stemp (Crazy for You; Hello, Dolly!) as Bill Calhoun and Lucentio, Georgina Onuorah (Oklahoma!) as Lois Lane and Bianca, Hammed Animashaun as Gangster, Nigel Lindsay as Gangster, and Peter Davison as General Harrison Howell.

The company also includes Josie Benson as Hattie, Jack Butterworth as Paul, Jude Owusu as Harry Trevor and Baptista, Carl Au as Hortensio, Jordan Crouch as Gremio, Gary Milner as Ralph, and James Hume as Pops, along with Alisha Capon, Shani Cator, Maya de Faria, Amelia Kinu Muus, Jacqui Jameson, Lucas Koch, Alex Lodge, Nell Martin, Anna McGarahan, John Stacey, and Harrison Wilde. Swings are Robin Kent, Barry Drummond, Emily Goodenough, and Maddie Harper.

With music and lyrics by Cole Porter and a book by Sam and Bella Spewack, Kiss Me, Kate is a meta adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, following the contentious but ultimately romantic connection between actors Fred and Lilli offstage as they're appearing in a touring production of the Shakespeare classic onstage. Porter's score introduced such favorites as "Another Op'nin', Another Show," "Why Can't You Behave?," "So in Love," "I Hate Men," "Too Darn Hot," "Always True to You in My Fashion," "Brush Up Your Shakespeare," and others.

Joining Sher on the creative team are choreographer Anthony Van Laast, costume designer Catherine Zuber, scenic designer Michael Yeargan, lighting designer Donald Holder, sound designer Adam Fisher, and music supervisor Stephen Ridley.

Howard Panter is producing for Trafalgar Theatre Productions in association with Barbican Theatre.
