Contents:

Another op'nin', another show

Why can't you behave?

Wunderbar

So in love

We open in Venice

Tom, Dick or Harry

I've come to wive it wealthily in Padua

I hate men

Were thine that special face

I sing of love

Too darn hot

Where is the life that late I led?

Always true to you in my fashion

Bianca

Brush up your Shakespeare

I am ashamed that women are so simple

Shrew finale: so kiss me, Kate.
