Summer | The Donna Summer Musical – Paramount Theatre “Summer – The Donna Summer Musical” w/ Seattle Theatre Group. Amazing divas. Great light show. Exquisite minimalist modern set design. But the transitions & storyline pace were awkward & tepid. #disco
Miracle on 34th Street – Musical – Seattle Musical Theatre “Miracle on 34th Street” #musical adaptation w/ Seattle Musical Theatre. Lead actors were good but the overhead stage microphones allowed the live band/orchestra to overpower them. #Xmas #Christmas #Santa
Mrs. Doubtfire – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre “Mrs. Doubtfire” at The 5th Avenue Theatre before it goes to Broadway in spring 2020. Hilarious stage musical adaptation of the movie. Lead actor was crazy talented.
A Christmas Carol – Play – SecondStory Repertory Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol” play at SecondStory Repertory. Strong primary actors especially Scrooge. Pleasantly surprised w/ the live music & singing. But not a fan of the cliche sentimentality & cuteness common w/ many stage renditions of this classic. #xmas #humbug
Sense & Sensibility – Play – Shoreline Community College Jane Austen’s “Sense & Sensibility” at Shoreline Community College. Enjoyed this play more than I thought I would. Perhaps it was the gossipy busybody characters. But scene transitions were awkward & the puppetry should be omitted.
