Cats – Musical – Paramount Theatre “Cats” w/ Seattle Theatre Group in Paramount Theatre. Amazing “Memory” rendition. Elaborate costumes. Solid choreography. Unintelligible lyrics (was lost 1/2 the time). Weak story/plot. Most overhyped Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. #Jellicles #Cats
A Doll’s House, Part 2 – Play – Seattle Repertory Theatre “A Doll’s House, Part 2” at Seattle Repertory Theatre. While I acknowledge the longstanding unfair gender inequality in our patriarchal society, I wanted to watch an entertaining play – not listen to a preachy lecture about feminism. #Ibsen
Curtains – Musical – Woodland Park Players Matinee of “Curtains” the mystery comedy musical w/ Woodland Park Players at Shoreline Community College. Too many actors on stage & too much of a community theatre vibe. Producer character was pretty good though.
The Woman in Black – Play – Seattle Repertory Theatre “The Woman in Black” ghost play at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Slow start had me planning to leave at intermission but it morphed into a chilling, haunting, edge-of-your-seat, scary, suspenseful, spine-tingling, gothic thriller. Great use of light, sound, & 2-person cast.
Jitterbug Perfume – Play – Dinner Theatre Play Dinner theatre play adaptation of “Jitterbug Perfume” at Cafe Nordo. Too many motifs, stories, & eccentric characters made it hard to follow. Immortality & aromatic perfection were alluring central themes though. #MardiGras
