Fran Lebowitz – Talk – Benaroya Hall

Fran Lebowitz at Benaroya Hall. Needed better moderation & interviewing. She’s such a hater … I don’t know why I like her. #cynic #satire

Freestyle Love Supreme – Musical – Seattle Repertory Theatre

Freestyle Love Supreme improv hiphop musical at Seattle Rep. I kept wondering how much of the show was improvised & if there were audience plants. How can they create/think so fast? Color me impressed.

Jersey Boys – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre

“Jersey Boys” jukebox musical at The 5th Avenue Theatre. American Bandstand video synchronization was a nice touch. “Oh, what a night!” #FrankieValli #fourSeasons #Jersey

Dragon Lady – Musical – Cafe Nordo

Sara Porkalob’s Filipino musical “Dragon Lady” at Cafe Nordo. One-person performances rarely seamlessly swap between realistically-portrayed characters like this did. Incredible vibrant voice. Immediately joined the #soldOut sequel wait-list. #filipina #pinay #pinoy #philippines

The Mystery of Irma Vep: A Penny Dreadful – Play – Intiman Theatre

“The Mystery of Irma Vep – A Penny Dreadful” w/ Intiman Theatre. Not really a fan of camp comedy. But I respect the 2 performers for quick-changing their costumes 35 times to switch between characters. #corney

Monsters of the American Cinema – Play – ArtsWest

“Monsters of the American Cinema” at ArtsWest Playhouse. A bit odd especially the stage view from the audience perspective. Good climactic scenes & familial dialogue though. #monster

Hotter Than Egypt – Play – ACT Theatre

“Hotter Than Egypt” play at ACT Theatre. Engaging but lengthy scenes. The obliviously privileged Americans vacationing in a foreign land were both relatably & annoyingly amusing. #Egyptian #marriage

Beauty and the Beast – Musical – 5th Avenue Theatre

Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” musical at the 5th Avenue Theatre. First time I’ve seen the audience do a standing ovation before the second act … or even before the curtain call. #POC #BiPOC
