Journal Prompt #7: Kiss Me, Kate!

For your seventh journal, please reflect on the experience of seeing the stage production of Kiss Me, Kate!


NOTE: THOSE OF YOU WHO MISSED THIS PERFORMANCE MUST WATCH THE MOVIE VERSION http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045963/. I WILL TRY TO PUT A VERSION ON COURSE RESERVE, BUT YOU CAN ALSO FIND IT VIA NETFLIX OR OTHER MEANS. YOU HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE COURSE TO DO SO.

***

Have you ever been to a live theater performance before? If so, how did this compare? If not, was it what you expected it to be?

What do you think about the musical-theater genre? What are some of your favorite musicals? (on stage or on television.) How did this measure up?

Have you read or seen Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew? If so, did that increase your appreciation of the plot? If not, did you feel like the show did enough to integrate it seamlessly?

What were your favorite parts of this experience?

Please answer the following questions in 500-1000 words.

Due by Tuesday, November 8th at 5pm.
