Guys & Dolls – Musical – Village Theatre “Guys & Dolls” w/ dad at Village Theatre. Obviously a great production but too much genderblind casting … which fortunately offset some of the musical’s inherent misogyny! Love a good “opposites attract” story!
Shout Sister Shout! – Musical – Seattle Repertory Theatre “Shout Sister Shout!” gospel musical w/ dad at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Dynamite music & voices! Takes me back to my conservative Southern religious upbringing. It’s unfortunate that church-inspired condemnation & guilt back then is still pervasive today.
Frost/Nixon – Play – SecondStory Repertory “Frost / Nixon” at SecondStory Repertory w/ dad. Interesting dramatic portrayal of a potentially dry topic. Timely play considering the impeachment inquiry against the current president. #Watergate #Nixon #politics #scandal #impeach
The Great Moment – Play – Seattle Repertory Theatre “The Great Moment” play at Seattle Rep w/ dad. Plot-less & excessively sentimental. Unrealistically overenergetic 100 y/o character & too many obscure references. But child character was funny. Kudos on the fantastic set design and to the lead actress for pushing through under the weather. #life #death
Miss Saigon – Musical – Paramount Theatre “Miss Saigon” musical tour w/ Seattle Theatre Group. Tragic story. HUGE cast. Unintelligible Act 1 but nice marine eye candy. Better Act 2 esp w/ the spectacular “Fall of Saigon” helicopter scene. #Vietnam
