Kiss Me Kate

Unfortunately I did not get to see the Penn State student production of Kiss Me Kate because I had to go home for a death in the family. So I had to result to the You Tube movie instead.... not nearly as entertaining as going to the theater. Especially for me because I have been dancing since the age of three and have gone to musicals just as HairSpray, Wicked, and even the comical Legally Blonde to name just a few.

It was also really hard to concentrate on the movie because the woman who played Lois's voice was giving me a really terrible headache. It is then broken up by Miss.Vanessi and the director banging things which is somewhat amusing because her object ends up not banging and at that point the conversation begins about the incident that had occurred early which add comic relief.

As I said I spent much of my life dancing so my favorite scenes in the movie were the dancing scenes The Too Darn Hot sequence was one of the most amusing to me because he kept a comedic personality through out the whole song which just added entertainment.

My favorite part though I will have to say is Brush up your Shakespeare. I think its hysterical that they say if your brush up on your Shakespeare you can easily get women they are just also so entertaining to watch their little tiny dance movements are just so funny. The best one how ever is when they talk about reciting a sonnet and saying your lap will have honey upon it. Its things like this that made this scene so funny.

I really wish that I could of seen the play at Penn State though because I honestly did not like the movie very much. Seeing a play is so much better than watching a movie about a play in a play at that point its over kill. Going to the theater is just a better experience because it makes you feel so much more engaged when just watching something online you feel miles away because you truly are. Also its hard to listen to all the singing without being in person because it seems like it drags on for ages at least if I was at the theater the rest of the experience would of made up for it because I have never been about the singing I like to see really great dancing which the movie only had some of.
