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.
“She Loves Me” musical at Village Theatre. Beautiful set like Tiffany & Co. So much “old world elegance.” Charming pen pal love story was the inspiration for “You’ve Got Mail.”
“Bliss the Musical” at The 5th Avenue Theatre. Novel lagoon & fairy godfather (Mario Cantone) elements. Loved the traditional perfect Stepford Cinderella-like princesses. But the rah-rah girl power sisterhood snowflake message was overplayed 🙄. Also wish the hilarious butch lesbian princess was featured more.
Opening night to “The Best of Everything” stage play adaptation w/ the University of Washington School of Drama. Short, light, cute, simple, funny, fast-moving story (just how I like it). Great performers too. Digging the innocent 1950s vibe. #secretaries #workingWomen
“Admissions” at Seattle Public Theater. Gorgeous suburban set. Great dialogue & thought-provoking perspectives but the play didn’t provide a solution for racial or reverse discrimination. #whitePrivilege #whiteGuilt #diversity
