Stage play version of “Kim’s Convenience” w/ Taproot Theatre. Relatable to the Asian immigrant family experience. Also kinda racist (but in other ways not). Cool detailed set too. #Korean
“Tiny Beautiful Things” w/ Seattle Repertory Theatre. Well-performed emotional monologues & impressive memorization. But this play about a columnist needed less Oprah & Lifetime with more “Sex & the City.” #basic
“Bye Bye Birdie” musical w/ dad at Centerstage Theatre. The dramatic middle-aged “jewish mother” was a hoot! While the cast wasn’t bad, I wish I’d have known 1/2 of them are still in #highschool.
“West Side Story” musical w/ dad at The 5th Avenue Theatre. Rich male lead voice. Iconic songs. Beautiful orchestration. Strong choreography but comical for tough #gangs to “ballet fight.” Teens are so melodramatic! Can’t we just get along? #RomeoAndJuliet
“Hart Island” developing beta musical w/ dad at Village Theatre. Versatile talented cast & tight complex wordless harmonies. But I’m skeptical the show will go mainstage w/o fixing the monochromatic downer motif & unclear plot holes. #BlackLivesMatter #Rap #Minorities
