Cole Porter's "Kiss Me Kate" (an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew") is one of the great modern musicals. In the one of the later versions, these two characters end up so enthralled as performers, they won't get off stage.

@rogerfitzsimmons6476 Жыл бұрын

Not "so enthralled as performers." The additional verses are meant as encores.

My high school did the musical"Kiss me Kate" my senior year. I played the part of "Gangster No. 2" along with a sophomore named Pat M. Who played the part of "Gangster No. 1" Doing this song was a lot of fun and it alway got a great response from the audience.

Delightful comic pairing performance in this clever Cole Porter show song. I have fond memories of the film version (Keenan Whynn and James Whitmore) but this version is even better.

The lyrics are different in this version than in the Keenan Wynn/James Whitmore version. Except, of course, for the Coriolanus part! LOL

That's the WHOLE "inside joke" here. Two hoods who probably couldn't carry a tune between them, sent to collect a gambling debt, and suddenly thrust into centre stage and doing this supposedly impromptu ditty. Only Porter could've done this, and gotten away with it. Bravo!

Anyone who claims that censorship is something found only in places like Russia or China should compare the actual text of "Kiss Me, Kate", as it was done on Broadway in 1948, to the bowdlerized lyrics of the Howard Keel/Kathryn Grayson film version of a few years later. It wasn't just "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" that got fed into the sausage grinder: "I Hate Men", "Where Is The Life That Late I Led?", "Too Darn Hot", and "I've Come To Wive It Wealthily In Padua" were all deemed too shocking for the ears of an American audience, many of whose members were combat veterans of World War II. But the film does have one glorious thing to recommend it: "From This Moment On", an exuberant, life-affirming song that wasn't in the stage version (I think it was brought in from another Porter show). It is danced to a fare-thee-well by, among others, Ann Miller, Bob Fosse, and Tommy Rall. If you haven't seen it on KZfaq, do yourself a HUGE favor and look it up.

They are actually criminal types who are sort of forced to sing the song on stage to fulfill dramatic exigency of the plot line; so they are acting against type.
