Cavalcade 1931

In celebration of both Gay Pride Month and the 50th anniversary of Noel Coward's knighthood, Robert Rodi looks back on the British icon's legendary career, trailblazing style, enduring influence-and above all his songs. Coward's songs have been covered by artists from Judy Garland to Rufus Wainwright, and rival Cole Porter's for emotional range and irresistible melody.

Alumnae Theatre Productions will stage Noel Coward's comedy of manners, 'Hay Fever' at the Alumnae Theatre's main stage from January 15 to 30.
