The Chicago was probably the only theatre in the USA (if not the world) to present “Kiss Me Kate” in 3-D with support from a stage show. Radio City Music Hall in NYC ran the musical’s “flat” version.
Contrary to popular belief, Kiss Me Kate did get a fairly wide 3-D release. MGM found that in test engagements the 3-D version did more business. As to Radio City, their ultra wide auditorium made it impractical for people seated at the sides to watch in 3-D. This is due to the fact that silver screens, which are required for 3-D viewing, reflect light straight ahead leaving audiences sitting to the sides watching a very dark and unevenly lit image.
