Shows I've Seen | Theatre Reviews – Musicals, Plays, Operas, Oh My! (and other Performing Arts)

Nurse Blake – Comedy Show – Moore Theatre

A pharmacist attended the PTO comedy tour show of the social media influencer #Nurse Blake. Our classic line “did you check the fridge for your medication” even came up! 😆 #nursing #nurses #healthcare

Tribes – Play – Tacoma Arts Live

Watched “Tribes” at Tacoma Arts Live unaware I already saw this play. The PNW must be so proud of this woke inclusive production. #ASL #deaf #tribe #family

Mean Girls – Musical – Paramount Theatre

“On Wednesdays, we wear pink” & watch the Mean Girls musical. Tepid Regina but #grool Janice. Overall, the performance was totally #fetch! #plastics #burnBook

Babette’s Feast – Play – Taproot Theatre

Opening night to “Babette’s Feast” play. Opera singer was amusingly vivacious. Cast doubled characters were clearly defined. I’ve always liked this story but never have been able to grasp the message.

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!
