Grammy Award-winning opera “The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs” w/ dad at Seattle Opera in McCaw Hall. Stunning set projections. Modern orchestration. Unimaginative monotone lyrics. Likely better as a musical. #AndroidFTW #AppleSucks
Closing night to “The Clean House” comedy play w/ As If Theatre Company. Maid character was too obsessed w/ jokes & tries too hard to be funny. Liked the neurotic sisters (the doctor & the one like Bree Van De Kamp).
Closing night of “The Devil & Sarah Blackwater” new musical at Annex Theatre. Good premise (make a deal w/ the devil for love). Not so good music (but some was ok). Awful demon portrayals. #hell #purgatory #limbo
Sold out “Death of a Salesman” matinee at Slate Theatre. Slow-moving play about the American dream, success, & the reality of mediocrity. Not quite sure why it won the Pulitzer Prize & some Tony Awards.
Watched the stage play adaptation of “American Junkie” at Book-It Repertory Theatre. Visceral, vivid, chilling descriptions of heroin addiction. An ode to the grunge era. Sooooo Seattle.
