The infrequently revived 1948 musical gem boasts a brilliant score by Cole Porter of nearly 20 knockout songs, almost all of which are classics. It’s a wonderfully clever play-within-a-play book by Sam and Bella Spewack that owes a deep debt of gratitude to that guy by the name of William Shakespeare.
The cast delivers musical numbers to showstopping effect; it is difficult to imagine better all-hands-on-deck production numbers better than those that "Kiss Me Kate" pulls off.
