Coward was one of the 20th century’s most prolific song writers and
playwrights. His work has transcended time and continues to inspire the modern
audience with words and observations that matter today. Cole Porter has touched
the hearts of audiences for decades with some of the most beautiful songs
written in the 20th century.
