What We Were – Play – Pony World Theatre

Saw Pony World Theatre’s “What We Were” at 12th Avenue Arts. Mesmerizing soliloquies. Riveting performance on repressed childhood abuse & trama. Coping mechanisms kept me wondering what was real. #meToo

Jesus Christ Superstar – Musical – Paramount Theatre

My lawd! Watched Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Jesus Christ Superstar” musical 579 days since my last show. Feels good to be back & nice to now live 3 blocks away from the Paramount Theatre. #hallelujah

Joseph the Dreamer – Musical – Trumpets Inc.

Closing show to — Closing show to “Joseph the Dreamer” w/ dad at Maybank Performing Arts Theatre & Trumpets, Inc. It was like Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat & Sister Act 2 made a #religious baby. Powerful voices & sick dance moves! #TrumpetsJTD2020

Amazing Show – Show – Boracay Island

Amazing Show Boracay w/ Raymund. I was called on-stage! The USA #LGBT scene should really take notes from this #amazing #drag (or #trans?) show. Cis male dancers were so good. 60% new material from the last time we saw 3 years ago. — “Amazing Show” w/ dad. I was called on-stage! The USA #LGBT scene should really take notes from this #amazing #drag (or #trans?) show. So #realistic! Cis male dancers were also very #talented. 60% new material from the last time we saw 3 years ago.

3 Penny Opera – Musical Play – Shoreline Community College

XY – Musical – Village Theatre

“XY” developing musical at Village Theatre. Good intentions, mostly strong stage presence, & interesting talkback. Needed more intersex medical exposition. Half the show, I thought it was about a trans person! Also, too much of a downer. I guess all musicals can’t be tap dancing & jazz hands!

The Turn of the Screw – Play – Book-It Repertory Theatre

“Turn of the Screw” stage play adaptation w/ Book-It Repertory Theatre at Seattle Center. Eerie gothic supernatural ghost thriller. But too confusing because of British subtlety. Was it all a delusion? #suspense

Frozen – Musical – Paramount Theatre

Disney's Frozen - The Musical at Paramount Theatre w/ Seattle Theatre Group. High-quality special effects & clever puppetry. #letItGo #frozen #musical — Disney’s “Frozen – The Musical” at Paramount Theatre w/ Seattle Theatre Group. High-quality special effects & clever puppetry. #LetItGo

The Children – Play – Seattle Repertory Theater

“The Children” play at Seattle Rep. Bizzare, random, & slow. Not a fan. Good acting though.

Patricia Barber – Dinner Show – The Triple Door

Patricia Barber Jazz Musician #dinnerShow at The Triple Door w/ Midori. While I love listening to #jazz as background #music, I don't understand it as the — Patricia Barber dinner show at The Triple Door w/ Midori. While I love listening to jazz as background music, I don’t understand it as the “main course” in a live concert. Rendition of “I Could Have Danced” was a pleasant surprise though.
