Dragon Lady – Musical – Cafe Nordo Sara Porkalob’s Filipino musical “Dragon Lady” at Cafe Nordo. One-person performances rarely seamlessly swap between realistically-portrayed characters like this did. Incredible vibrant voice. Immediately joined the #soldOut sequel wait-list. #filipina #pinay #pinoy #philippines
The Mystery of Irma Vep: A Penny Dreadful – Play – Intiman Theatre “The Mystery of Irma Vep – A Penny Dreadful” w/ Intiman Theatre. Not really a fan of camp comedy. But I respect the 2 performers for quick-changing their costumes 35 times to switch between characters. #corney
Monsters of the American Cinema – Play – ArtsWest “Monsters of the American Cinema” at ArtsWest Playhouse. A bit odd especially the stage view from the audience perspective. Good climactic scenes & familial dialogue though. #monster
Hotter Than Egypt – Play – ACT Theatre “Hotter Than Egypt” play at ACT Theatre. Engaging but lengthy scenes. The obliviously privileged Americans vacationing in a foreign land were both relatably & annoyingly amusing. #Egyptian #marriage
Beauty and the Beast – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” musical at the 5th Avenue Theatre. First time I’ve seen the audience do a standing ovation before the second act … or even before the curtain call. #POC #BiPOC
