Bliss – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre “Bliss the Musical” at The 5th Avenue Theatre. Novel lagoon & fairy godfather (Mario Cantone) elements. Loved the traditional perfect Stepford Cinderella-like princesses. But the rah-rah girl power sisterhood snowflake message was overplayed 🙄. Also wish the hilarious butch lesbian princess was featured more.
The Best of Everything – Play – UW School of Drama Opening night to “The Best of Everything” stage play adaptation w/ the University of Washington School of Drama. Short, light, cute, simple, funny, fast-moving story (just how I like it). Great performers too. Digging the innocent 1950s vibe. #secretaries #workingWomen
Admissions – Play – Seattle Public Theater “Admissions” at Seattle Public Theater. Gorgeous suburban set. Great dialogue & thought-provoking perspectives but the play didn’t provide a solution for racial or reverse discrimination. #whitePrivilege #whiteGuilt #diversity
Urinetown – Musical – Seattle Pacific University “Urinetown: The Musical” at Seattle Pacific University. Talented handsome (& toned!) lead actor. Theatre was hot as heck though. Turn on the A/C!
Our Country’s Good – Play – Strawberry Theatre Workshop “Our Country’s Good” play at 12th Avenue Arts w/ Strawberry Theatre Workshop. Celebrated the lifechanging power of the stage! Well-performed but ole English dialogue was difficult to follow. While I’m not a fan of cast doubling, it was done mindfully & intentionally. #Australia #Prison #Jail #Convicts #Criminals #Inmates
