Kiss of the Spider Woman was initially adapted from the novel by Manuel Puig into the 1985 Academy Award-nominated film starring William Hurt and Raul Julia. The story was then turned into a 1992 Tony Award-winning musical starring Chita Rivera as the Spider Woman. In 1995, Vanessa Williams took over the role and gained considerable acclaim for it. A compelling story of a homosexual man in a jail in Latin America who survives on fantasies of his favorite film star (also portrayed by Williams in this version) and the growing affection he feels for his cell mate, Kiss of the Spider Woman's score comes from the Kander and Ebb team, one of the most famous and consistent writing teams to have graced the stage with their music. Kiss of the Spider Woman is dark in theme and emotionally heavy, but its also laced with wonderful performances and a haunting score. Williams, being one of the only cast members to differ from the original cast recording, has a beautiful voice and does well with the role. ~ Sarah Erlewine, Rovi
