| "Kiss Me, Kate' is considered, along with "Anything Goes" to be the best shows Cole Porter ever wrote (at least that are revived). If you don't like it, that's fine, but it is considered one of the greats. It also has a very solid book, even if it has been tinkered with a bit over the years. "Merrily" is also known to have a fine score, but a much more problematic book which a lot of folks still think hasn't been satisfactorily solved. I'm happy the singular and brilliant Mr. Sondheim with his concept musicals is still among us, but wish there were more purveyors of the more traditional book musicals with the songwriting abilities of a Cole Porter that were getting produced today, able to write for the most part beautiful, singable melodies with witty, well-rhymed lyrics. | |
