Tiny Beautiful Things – Play – Seattle Repertory Theatre “Tiny Beautiful Things” w/ Seattle Repertory Theatre. Well-performed emotional monologues & impressive memorization. But this play about a columnist needed less Oprah & Lifetime with more “Sex & the City.” #basic
Bye Bye Birdie – Musical – Centerstage Theatre “Bye Bye Birdie” musical w/ dad at Centerstage Theatre. The dramatic middle-aged “jewish mother” was a hoot! While the cast wasn’t bad, I wish I’d have known 1/2 of them are still in #highschool.
West Side Story – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre “West Side Story” musical w/ dad at The 5th Avenue Theatre. Rich male lead voice. Iconic songs. Beautiful orchestration. Strong choreography but comical for tough #gangs to “ballet fight.” Teens are so melodramatic! Can’t we just get along? #RomeoAndJuliet
Hart Island – Musical – Village Theatre “Hart Island” developing beta musical w/ dad at Village Theatre. Versatile talented cast & tight complex wordless harmonies. But I’m skeptical the show will go mainstage w/o fixing the monochromatic downer motif & unclear plot holes. #BlackLivesMatter #Rap #Minorities
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas – Musical – Seattle Musical Theatre Stage musical production of “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” w/ dad at Seattle Musical Theatre. Some good songs & awesome Miss Mona actress. But slow dialogue, awkward transitions, & terrible microphones. #Brothel
