Kiss Me Kate was great play. The fact that it was a musical made me like it even more. Musicals are my favorite type of theater performance. This is the second play I've been to since I've been here at Penn State, but it is the fifth overall play I've been to in my lifetime. Compared to all the other plays I've been to, Kiss Me Kate was my favorite one. It made number one because it was a musical.
I enjoy musicals a lot more than anything else can. Most of my favorite movies are musicals so it was inevitable that I was going to fully enjoy this play. My favorite, all time musical, is Lion King by Disney. Also, Mary Poppins is another childhood favorite of mine. It should be a favorite of every normal person. Comparing Kiss Me Kate to every other musical is way too hard. I find something that I really like in every musical I watch that every other musical does not have.
Me and Shakespeare do not really get along. Every time I try to read one of his plays, I never get too far. I do not really like the language that is used in his plays. His sonnets, on the other hand, I do like to read. Taming of the Shrew is very new to me. I have never heard of it until I watched this play. When it was finally explained to me, Kiss Me Kate, made a lot more sense than watching it knowing nothing.
There were many great parts in this play, but my favorite part was towards the end. The part when the two gangsters were on stage by themselves and they sang a song telling us to read more Shakespeare. It made want to go to the library and read some of the plays I've never finished reading in high school and grade school. It was such a great part.
