“A Doll’s House, Part 2” at Seattle Repertory Theatre. While I acknowledge the longstanding unfair gender inequality in our patriarchal society, I wanted to watch an entertaining play – not listen to a preachy lecture about feminism. #Ibsen
Matinee of “Curtains” the mystery comedy musical w/ Woodland Park Players at Shoreline Community College. Too many actors on stage & too much of a community theatre vibe. Producer character was pretty good though.
“The Woman in Black” ghost play at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Slow start had me planning to leave at intermission but it morphed into a chilling, haunting, edge-of-your-seat, scary, suspenseful, spine-tingling, gothic thriller. Great use of light, sound, & 2-person cast.
Dinner theatre play adaptation of “Jitterbug Perfume” at Cafe Nordo. Too many motifs, stories, & eccentric characters made it hard to follow. Immortality & aromatic perfection were alluring central themes though. #MardiGras
Sat next to a group of bears at “Legally Blonde” the musical tour w/ Tacoma Arts Live at Pantages Theater. After seeing 5+ amateur versions, I’m surprised my 1st professional production had sparse sets, cheesy videos, & abridged songs. #OMGYouGuys #Harvard
Watched Cirque Eloize’s “Saloon” with Tacoma Arts Live at Pantages Theatre. Better than Cirque du Soleil but it was no Teatro ZinZanni. Corney comedic relief. Trailer was better than the real thing. #Circus #WildWildWest #Acrobatics
Watched the slow 3-act play “John” w/ Eyal at ArtsWest. Random & plotless … but very detailed set. Many promisingly ominous moments ended up anticlimactic or unresolved. The highfalutin critical appeal is lost on me. #NotAFan
One-day-only run of Monty Python’s Tony Award-winning musical “Spamalot” w/ dad at Tacoma Arts Live in Pantages Theater. So close to the stage that I didn’t know where to look! English slapstick comedy. #AlwaysLookOnTheBrightSideOfLife #KingArthur #HolyGrail #Camelot
Grammy Award-winning opera “The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs” w/ dad at Seattle Opera in McCaw Hall. Stunning set projections. Modern orchestration. Unimaginative monotone lyrics. Likely better as a musical. #AndroidFTW #AppleSucks
