Last evening, I attended the premiere of the Reprise! production of Kiss Me, Kate up at the Freud Playhouse at UCLA. I have raved before about Reprise! shows. With minimal budget and rehearsal time, they stage classic musicals for limited runs. This was one of the best I've seen and the audience seemed to agree. I've never heard so much enthusiastic applause and whoops of delight at one of these.
I'm too swamped with work tonight to write the kind of review this show deserves. I'll try to get to it in a day or two but in the meantime, if you're near West L.A., hurry and get tickets. You can order through the link on this page and if you enter the code "KISS," I think you get a discount. More when I have time.
