Kiss Me, Kate

For the last concert cycle of the semester our Concert Choir is doing selections from the screen and stage.  One of the numbers we are performing is "Another Openin', Another Show" from Cole Porter's "Kiss Me, Kate".  For those of you who aren't familiar, this is a musical adaptation of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew".  This musical is quite comical, and is one I'd definitely suggest renting. I actually used "So In Love" from this same show as an audition piece to my undergrad voice program.  That being said, I am a huge fan of classic musical theatre and my viewing suggestions reflect that.

This 1953 film stars Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson.  Here is the original movie trailer.  Take a look, and enjoy!
