		I attended Kiss Me, Kate Thursday night; the musical was performed February 24, 25, and 26 at the Bradley Building and directed by James Crawford.
		He had a large range throughout the night, hitting some lower notes that surprised me. The sarcasm of both Petruchio and Fred was a laugh a minute, along with the rare sentimental moments when Fred was by himself on stage, showing the ability of Evans to act out sarcasm and tragedy.
		Her singing voice was pleasant on the ears and when she was on stage, I believed she was a stuck up brat who needed to cover her inner feelings with anger.

	DVD Savant Review: Kiss Me Kate
		Kiss Me Kate may not match the hi-falutin' Art of An American in Paris but it's got the MGM musical unit's second-string talent showing themselves at their very best.
		MGM's DVD of Kiss Me Kate is a bright new transfer with a wonderful remixed track and a separate music-only track for those who want to hear Saul Chaplin's interstitial music.
		Here is some additional information regarding Kiss Me Kate's original theatrical exhibition which may or may not explain the framing issues with the DVD (note: the original disc before correction).

		Kiss Me Kate was one of the last major musicals to be shot in the old standard format, and it was soon realized that the novelty of 3-D would never be able to compete with widescreen.
		Viewers who claim to have seen Kiss Me Kate in widescreen probably saw a bit of mischief perpertrated by unscrupulous studio moguls who in their rush to get on the widescreen band wagon stooped to trimming the tops and bottoms of 35 mm film in order to achieve the 16:9 format.
		That the film version of Kiss Me Kate lacks the bite of the stage version is because of puritanical censorship codes that were rigorously enforced until well into the 1960's, and cannot be blamed on the film's creative team.

		This version of Cole Porter's and Bella and Sam Spewack's "Kiss Me, Kate" is a treat from beginning to end.
		If any show characterizes the indomitable spirit of American theater, it is "Kiss Me, Kate," and in London, we felt exactly the same way about it.
		"Kiss Me, Kate" should always be like this, because it is about the rambunctious life of a touring acting company putting on a revival of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." And, of course, the musical is one of the all-time classic improvement jobs on Shakespeare.

		The two main characters in "Kiss Me Kate" unwittingly share many parallels with their onstage characters in ‘The Taming of the Shrew’.
		They all seem to be caught in love-hate relationships, fighting desperately not to be the first to admit that they’re just using the hate as a cover for the genuine love.

	Scenic Design: Kiss Me Kate \| Portfolio \| Miguel Romero
		KISS ME Designing a musical is a very exciting assignment that makes logistical demands in the form of multiple scenes, some intimate and others able to accommodate dance and chorus numbers.
		Kiss Me Kate, in particular, requires the designer to create two separate worlds: the contemporary story of clashing theatrical egos and the Renaissance period musical play-within-the-play based on The Taming of the Shrew.
		For this production, my design had to work for the two theatre companies who co-produced it—one with a thrust stage and the other a conventional proscenium stage.

		Greer adds, “He chooses Kate as he would a horse, for her high mettle, and he must use at least as much intelligence and energy in bringing her to trust him, and to accept the bargain he offers, as he would in breaking a horse”.
		In this light, Kate’s final speech can a be seen as an acknowledgement by Kate that Petruchio has given her what she wants (protection and security) and she is now giving him what he wants (a dutiful wife).

	"Kiss Me Kate" Review By Steve Winn
		Audiences may be having too much fun at the Orpheum Theatre this month to think much about it, but the "Kiss Me, Kate" revival that opened Wednesday is one choice piece of Broadway history.
		For all these assets and some charming work by the cast, this touring "Kate" does have a recurring tendency to go flat just when it ought to rise to the next level.
		While the principal pair in "Kiss Me, Kate" may tool along at less than full throttle, the show offers plenty of diverting side tours.

	Kiss Me, Kate: Putting Visions of Religious Convergence to the Test
		Their efforts remind me of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew: Like Petruchios who woo their Katharinas against their wills, these visionaries are convinced of the rightness of their matchmaking, despite the protests and denials of the other.
		Come on, and kiss me, Kate!" But the servant Lucentio gets the play's last word, an expression of astonishment tinged with doubt: "'Tis a wonder, by your leave, she will be tam'd so." His questionable credulity leaves the audience with unanswered questions: Will it all really be this orderly in Petruchio's fiefdom?
		Is her kiss one of true love, or mere fealty, or even disguised betrayal?

		Thus, when Bella Spewack came to him with the idea for "Kiss Me, Kate", his initial response was "I don't think I could do it".
		The idea for the show began germinating in 1935 when producer Saint Subber, then a stagehand for the Theatre Guild's production of "The Taming Of The Shrew", became aware that its stars, Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne, quarreled in private almost as much as did the characters they were portraying in the play.
		"Kiss Me, Kate" takes place backstage and onstage at Ford's Theatre in Baltimore, from five P.M. to midnight during one day of a tryout of a musical version of "The Taming of the Shrew".
