True West – Play – Seattle Repertory Theatre “True West” play at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Intricate set … albeit tiny. Deliciously dislikeable trailer trash brothers unsettlingly doing what you don’t want them to do. Unexpected (kinda senseless) ending. #siblings #siblingrivalry
Dance Nation – Play – Washington Ensemble Theatre “Dance Nation” at 12th Avenue Arts w/ Washington Ensemble Theatre. Great A/V, lighting, & lead dancers. Confusing soliloquy-like moments. Expected more cutthroat backstabbing drama. Disturbing nude locker scene, considering the adult actors played preteen characters. Wasn’t sold that they were all dancers.
Fiddler on the Roof – Musical – Paramount “Fiddler on the Roof” at Paramount Theatre w/ Andres & Eyal. Slow, unexciting, & educational. But great traditional jewish choreography. Loved the yiddish expressions. #tradition
Hershey Felder’s Monsieur Chopin – Show – Seattle Repertory Theatre Hershey Felder’s sold out “Monsieur Chopin” at Seattle Repertory Theater. Talented pianist performed songs (including a nocturne I can play) from my favorite composer. Surprised there were no etudes though.
Summer | The Donna Summer Musical – Paramount Theatre “Summer – The Donna Summer Musical” w/ Seattle Theatre Group. Amazing divas. Great light show. Exquisite minimalist modern set design. But the transitions & storyline pace were awkward & tepid. #disco
