If you loved Show Boat, try Kiss Me Kate

What Kiss Me Kate is
A backstage musical that thinks it's also something else. A divorced acting couple is forced to perform opposite each other in a stage production of *The Taming of the Shrew*, complicated by gangsters. It’s not exactly reinventing Shakespeare, or anything else.
