Lift – Musical – Cornish Playhouse

Evening performance of LIFT - Musical. Incredible talent and great music. Sadly, the storyline was so imaginative that it became hard to follow. — Evening performance of LIFT – Musical. Incredible talent and great music. Sadly, the storyline was so imaginative that it became hard to follow.

Legally Blonde – Musical Concert – Showtunes Theatre Company

Afternoon matinee of Legally Blonde the Musical in concert. Casting black actresses as Elle Woods and Paulette Bonafonté added a neat twist to this fun musical.

Shakespeare in Love – Play – Cornish Playhouse At Seattle Center

Watched the stage production of Shakespeare In Love. For a guy who hates English literature and William Shakespeare, I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this play. — attending Shakespeare in Love at Cornish Playhouse At Seattle Center

Seussical – Musical – Cornish Playhouse at Seattle Center

Watched the nonsensical Seussical the Musical. Not bad. My main request: if gender bending casting, make sure the actors don't sing an octave lower than the original parts. Or at least transpose the dang song! — attending Seussical at Cornish Playhouse At Seattle Center. — Watched the nonsensical Seussical the Musical. Not bad.

Sister Act – Musical – Mini Review – Cornish Playhouse

Watched the stage version of Sister Act. Loved the groovy disco vibe, witty quips, and hilarious songs. Well-written and strong performance overall. But the individual actors by themselves were not showstopping. Also, I’m pretty sure Seattle’s ethnic shortage forced the production’s casting to be more “colorblind.”
