There are certain shows - and certain performers - that I don't feel I need to see again. Unless Kiss Me Kate has a cast that I don't want to miss, it's one of those shows I don't need to see again.
As for the Kelli O'Hara/Will Chase casting, from the moment it was announced, I knew I wouldn't be attending. Yes of course, Kelli is very talented, and I'm sure some people love Will Chase. But ever since his early days in Miss Saigon, he's never quite done it for me. I'm not sure why. it's like you're baking a cake and you have all the right ingredients, but when you taste it, something is missing. For me, he lacks edge. As for Kelli, I don't need to see her do this part.
But hey, someone on this thread thought that Stokes didn't sing this score well. I couldn't disagree more, and found that production with Marin and Brian to be one of the best Kiss Me Kate productions ever. At least for me. |
