Organ Symphony No. 3 – Concert – Benaroya Hall Attended the Seattle Symphony featuring music by Camille Saint-Saëns & Fredrick Chopin. 2nd time in my life @ the symphony. I must say, the audience is VERY gratuitous w/ applause & standing ovation than what I’m used to in musicals. Thanks for the tix Paul!
Pageant – The Musical Comedy Beauty Competition – ACT Theatre Attended Pageant – The Hilarious Comedy Musical on the second evening of Seattle Pride weekend. 6 drag queens compete for the crown … & actually sing! Different winner each show depending on the audience. I was totally rooting for Miss Texas & Miss Bible Belt.
God Save the Queens – Concert – Seattle Men’s Chorus Opened Seattle Pride with the Seattle Men’s Chorus concert “God Save the Queens” – a tribute to British music. Loved “Twist and Shout!” Not a fan of Prince Poppycock though. Cast more solos from the chorus members! Miss singing with y’all!
The Picture of Dorian Gray – Play – Book-it Repertory Theatre Watched the stage play adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. Oh the English and their coded euphemisms! I read the abridged book in elementary and innocently missed all the gay themes/undertones. Cool final climactic scene.
Before the Flood – Play – ACT Theatre Watched the play “Until the Flood” unaware it was a one-woman show abt #blacklivesmatter. The actress effectively conveyed a relevant (albeit heavy) message. But I was really originally hoping to escape into an entertaining puff piece with a plot this evening.
