Watched the musical stage adaptation of Schoolhouse Rock! Interjections, conjunctions, bills, oh my! Learning is fun. Wished they used microphones though.
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.
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.
Watched Disenchanted – A New Musical Comedy, a parody of Disney princesses. Huge stage. Funny but borderline corny. Loved the Mulan’s lesbian bit. — attending Disenchanted! at 12th Avenue Arts.
Watched the play How I Learned to Drive. Amazing how the playwright/actors created a disarming pedophile that evoked both disgust & sympathy. Complex, ambiguous, and unconventional. I so wish there was a talkback!
