Nothing in a while. I suppose it's a weird time for a show to open
19 shows! - the only one of which I've seen is Kiss Me, Kate. Funnily, The Taming of the Shrew opened on the same day (obviously not in the same year)
Also, it was the day that Idina fell down the hole.
Minor threadjack: Am I the only one on this thread who was born 1/11?
