Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill – Play with Music – ArtsWest

Watched the — Watched the “jukebox play” Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill. No plot except Billie Holliday gets sloshed and unravels on a nightclub stage. Great jazzy sound. Would have been amazing if drinks and maybe light food were served throughout the performance.

The Unauthorized Musical Parody of Clueless – Dinner Theatre Musical – Rockwell Table & Stage

Watched — Watched “The Unauthorized Musical Parody of Clueless.” Great 90s hit song mashups. Perfect Cher portrayal. Tight harmonies. Immersive theatre … so much that an audience member touched Dionne’s boob to make sure it wasn’t fake (“as if!”). The best dinner theater show I’ve seen.

Soft Power – Musical – Ahmanson Theatre

Watched the musical — Watched the musical “Soft Power.” Hillary Clinton had a love affair with a Chinese communist. Slow Act 1 but interesting experimentation with unconventional theater elements and radical (but relevant to our Trump-era) Chinese/communist ideas.

The Marvelous Wonderettes – Musical – Glendale Centre Theatre

Watched The Marvelous Wonderettes, a jukebox musical featuring retro tight harmony girl group songs. With such incredible voices, it's a shame they used prerecorded accompaniment. Kinda wish there was a plot too. — Watched The Marvelous Wonderettes, a jukebox musical featuring retro tight harmony girl group songs.

Skeleton Crew – Play – Geffen Playhouse

Watched — Watched “Skeleton Crew” – a play about the tragic declining “rust belt” factories in the midwest. Not a lot of action but really good dialogue.
