Hanya Holm was an important person in the history of Labanotation. The first two Broadway shows for which the complete choreography was preserved in Labanotation were My Fair Lady and Kiss Me, Kate so if someone wanted to do it, we could see the KMK choreography, and the MFL choreography, too. I believe it was not recreated in the Australian production directed by Andrews.

I'd love to see the original Kiss Me Kate choreography, if only to see for myself how it compared to the first production of the show I ever saw on stage, as a child in Los Angeles in 1959. I wonder if the original MFL choreography is very different from the movie? I've always had the impression that the MFL movie was practically a photograph of the stage show, except for the differences in casting.
