Skylight – Play – ACT Theatre Watched the Tony award-winning play “Skylight.” Was intoxicated by the smell of onions & garlic sauteing as they cooked Italian (in a British play) while acting. So hungry! Not quite sure what was the message of the play.
Prelude to a Kiss – Play – Strawberry Theatre Workshop Watched the original stage play version of Prelude to a Kiss. Started out as a fun light-hearted romantic comedy that suddenly transformed into freaky friday. Good plot progression. Totally missed the allusion to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
The Who’s Tommy – Musical – 12th Ave Arts Sold out show of the rock opera musical The Who’s Tommy. In true Seattle fashion, their casting was so gratuitously gender/color blind that 5 actors portrayed Tommy instead of 3. So confusing! Good production though.
The Rules of Charity – Play – Sound Theatre Company Watched “The Rules of Charity,” a play shedding light on the handicap experience. Riveting, brilliantly-executed, & well-written dialogue. Fantastic climactic fight choreography. But it’s a shame I couldn’t decipher the play’s message.
Legally Blonde – Musical – 12th Night Productions Last performance of Legally Blonde the Musical. Mics should have more volume. Slower tempo than other productions I’ve seen. Supporting cast was strong (more than main characters). Huge unrealized potential here!
