School of Rock – Musical – Paramount Theatre “School of Rock the Musical” w/ Seattle Theatre Group. Talented kid performers but my least favorite Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. Not a fan of shows w/ lots of kids esp when the message is they know better than sensible adults.
Cats – Musical – Paramount Theatre “Cats” w/ Seattle Theatre Group in Paramount Theatre. Amazing “Memory” rendition. Elaborate costumes. Solid choreography. Unintelligible lyrics (was lost 1/2 the time). Weak story/plot. Most overhyped Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. #Jellicles #Cats
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.
The Lion King – Musical – Paramount Theatre Disney’s “The Lion King” musical sold out run at Paramount Theatre. Costumes, set, & music were AMAZING but show didn’t live up to the hype. Puppetry isn’t a great stage medium & animals aren’t good stage characters. Also too kid-friendly.
On Your Feet! The Emilio & Gloria Estefan Broadway Musical – Paramount Theatre Watched ON YOUR FEET! The Musical. Stellar light show, mesmerizing choreography, golden voices, & hawt Emilio Estefan actor (Ektor Rivera). But like many Paramount Theatre shows, the volume was too loud.
