Kiss Me, Kate (1948 Original Broadway Cast)
Kiss Me, Kate (1948 Original Broadway Cast) Opening at the tail end of 1948, Kiss Me, Kate became an instant classic–and amazingly didn’t receive a full-scale revival until 1999. All the more reason to revel in its original version. With its cunning play-within-a-play premise (a musical update of The Taming of the Shrew reverberates in backstage feuds), brilliant mix of high and low comedy, and of course some of Cole Porter’s better-known songs–”So in Love,” “I Hate Men,” Too Darn Hot,” “Always True to You (In My fashion)”–Kiss Me, Kate remains a funny, zesty hall of mirrors. Hard as you may try to find a fly in the ointment, there’s no fault with the cast either–Patricia Morison, for instance, is a perfectly petulant Lilli Vanessi. –Elisabeth Vincentelli
Customer Review: The best and maybe the last CD of this great musical.
Now is the perfect time to buy the CD of this.
Sony’s transfer engineers used state-of-the-art restoration software to remove the roughness and surface noise from the originals, but (thankfully) they resisted the urge to tart-up the sound with artificial reverb, faux stereo, and thundering bass. This is by far the best-sounding CD of this ever released, and it may be the last.
The age of music ownership in America could be drawing to a close. Five years from now, this music may only be available by download, you might only be “borrowing” it, and it probably won’t come with the the authentic cover art or the 26-page booklet.
