Rock of Ages – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre “Rock of Ages” closing weekend at the 5th Avenue Theatre. Corny jukebox 80s rock musical. Tight harmonies. Rowdy audience. Loud sound engineering. Don’t stop believing!
Once On This Island – Musical – Ludus Performing Arts Closing performance of “Once On This Island” in an electric company of all places! Didn’t realize this was a <18 y/o production :-/. But surprisingly promising talent & high budget … I mean, there were live chickens, a pooping diapered goat, & sand. Actors should work on better front-facing blocking. Comments
M. Butterfly – Play – ArtsWest Playhouse Riveting Tony Awards-winning play “M. Butterfly.” Multilayered commentary on gender/sexual conformity, Asian racial stereotypes, & east vs west. A Seattle play finally uses nudity constructively. #madameButterfly Comments
Dear Evan Hansen – Musical – Paramount Theatre Sold-out run of the Tony & Grammy Award-winning musical “Dear Evan Hansen” at Paramount Theatre. Slow & didn’t live up to the hype. Not a fan of high school teenager storylines. Amazing projections & lighting though.
Last of the Boys – Play – Seattle Repertory Theatre Watched the play “Last Of The Boys” at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Despite how amazing & realistic a set is designed, it’s challenging to craft an interesting play when the set doesn’t change. #veterans #vietnamwar #ghosts #dull
