Concert version of Kiss of The Spider Woman, music by John Kander, Lyrics by Fred Ebb, and Book by Terrance McNally. Based on the novel by Manuel Puig, and winner of the Tony Award for Best Broadway Musical, Kiss of the Spider Woman revamps a harrowing tale of persecution into a dazzling spectacle that juxtaposes gritty realities with liberating fantasies. Cell mates in a Latin American prison, Valentin is a tough revolutionary undergoing torture and Molina is an unabashed homosexual serving eight years for deviant behavior. Molina shares his fantasies about an actress (originally played by Chita Rivera and later Vanessa Williams) with Valentin. One of her roles is a Spider Woman who kills with a kiss
