Monstrous Regiment – Play – Latitude Theatre

Elevator Thoughts (aka Tweet): Monstrous Regiment play adaptation (by Christopher Hainsworth) of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novel. Directed by Christopher Kidder-Mostrom. Latitude Theatre’s historic first show ever! A group of monstrous/misfit army underdogs defy traditional gender roles. Unexpected reveal at the end. #girlPower #igor #vampire #troll #Discworld

Synopsis from the Theatre: From the pages of the Discworld(TM) novels, comes a story filled with loyalty, love, monsters, and mayhem. Borogravia is at war. Again. When Polly Perks’ brother goes missing in action, she disguises herself as a young man, enlists in the army and heads to the front lines in search of her sibling. But all is not as it seems, and Polly soon learns that she isn’t the only one in this band of “brothers” protecting secrets. Making their way to the front, this misfit company might just overcome insurmountable odds to become unlikely victors. ​A wickedly funny look at the absurdities of war and ambiguities of identity.

Lydia and the Troll – Musical – Seattle Repertory Theatre

Elevator Thoughts (aka Tweet): Lydia and the Troll musical by Justin Huertas at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Origin story of the Fremont troll w/ a timeless message to love yourself and to cherish the life you live.

Synopsis from the Theatre: Lydia is struggling to find her voice. As a Black woman on the brink of breaking through the music industry, her dreams of being a record producer feel just out of her reach. But when a mysterious stranger offers her a chance to level up, Lydia embarks on a thrilling journey of self-discovery to take back what is hers. Inspired by the fantasy and folklore of Seattle’s landmarks, playwright and composer Justin Huertas (Lizard Boy) conjures up fresh Pacific Northwest magic through a riveting electronic/pop score and multi-media landscape in this world-premiere musical.

Other Rave(s) Not Mentioned in Elevator Thoughts

  • Neon Trim Lighting: I always love modern clean lines in design. The neon trim lighting accented the stage nicely. The multicolored light show during certain numbers was particularly dazzling.
  • “Black Hair” Song: The powerful “Black Hair” song was my favorite number in this musical because of the message to cherish the cards you were dealt in life because it could always be worse. While “Black Hair” was referring to African American hair, I feel like it could also be applied to other races as well. I know Asians sometimes bleach their hair blonde (I’m guilty of this) because of colonialism and colorism.
  • Puppetry: As I mentioned in my Wolf Play review. I’m usually not a fan of puppetry. But again, this was not your typical furry Muppets or Avenue Q variety. The puppetry was more shadow effects on a white backdrop against bright projected lights. The audience actually rarely saw the actual puppets but only their shadows. I liked that the puppeteers were shortly showcased during one of the final chase scenes where they were visible on-stage without the backdrop obscuring them.
  • Favorite Line(s):
    • “I always leave a person better than I found them” – It reminded me of the TV show Dollhouse.
    • “Do Over” – The couple occasionally said this before performing a funny bit where they pretended to rewind life like a VHS tape.

Rant(s)

  • Background Crew Visibility: I’m not sure if it was because of my vantage point on the side of the balcony but it felt like the stagehands and the puppeteers were sometimes too visible. In particular, I could see the stagehands or puppeteers via the “Pepper’s Ghost” effect from glass reflections.

Other Musing(s) and Observation(s)

  • Troll Sizes: Why was the final troll huge, but the earlier trolls were not?
  • Troll Voice: Why did the female trolls have normal voices, but the male troll did not?
  • Seattle References: There were some Seattle references throughout the show like Columbia City Theatre (which I still have never attended!), Aurora Ave, and obviously the Fremont Troll. I thought there would be more references though. Maybe the references went over my head, especially since I’m not from the PNW.
  • Running Song: The crowd went wild during the running song. Did I miss an inside joke? Major FOMO here.

Sunday in the Park with George – Musical – SecondStory Rep

Elevator Thoughts (aka Tweet): Sunday in the Park with George musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine at a packed SecondStory Repertory. Directed by Harry Turpin & music directed by John Allman starring Brian Pucheu & Jacqueline Tardanico. Story centered around Georges Seurat’s famous painting.

Synopsis from the Theatre: Inspired by the painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, Sunday in the Park with George, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s stunning masterpiece, merges past and present into beautiful, poignant truths about life, love and the creation of art. One of the most acclaimed musicals of our time, this moving study of the enigmatic painter, Georges Seurat, won a Pulitzer Prize and was nominated for an astounding ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Other Rave(s) Not Mentioned in Elevator Thoughts

  • Leading Actors: Brian Pucheu (George) and Jacqueline Tardanico (Dot/Marie) were well-cast leads in this performance. Brian delivered his lines with a genteel speaking voice. Jacqueline singing voice was strongly projected yet controlled with a beautiful slight vibrato.
  • Semi-transparent Canvas: Brian “painted” while facing the audience without the canvas obscuring his face or body. This was possible because the canvas was a semi-transparent curtain. See one of the pictures at the end of this review.
  • Favorite Characters: The two Celeste characters (Savannah Lynn and Daire Byrne) were delightful especially in their interactions with the soldier (Graham Arthur Blair). Also, as an arguably unsophisticated American (my favorite food is McDonald’s french fries), I identified with the unsophsticated American tourists exploring France (played by Kristie “Kiki” Werner and James Webster).

Rant(s)

  • Stephen Sondheim: As I mentioned in my Into the Woods review, I’m not a huge a fan of Sondheim’s works, which is probably blasphemous to mention on a theatre website! What can I say? The emperor has no clothes!

Other Musing(s) and Observation(s)

  • Sondheim Elements: Naturally, this show reminded me of elements from Sondheim’s other musicals. When Brian Pucheu (George) scatted “bum bum bum” in a staccato manner while painting, it reminded me of the judge doing the same thing as Sweeney Todd shaved him. Also, act one’s ending was so conclusive that the audience might think the show has ended similarly to how the audience might feel that at the end of Into the Woods act one. Side note, it would have been better if Sunday in the Park with George act one ended at a cliffhanger during Dot’s reveal to George.

Wolf Play – ACT Theatre

Elevator Thoughts (aka Tweet): Wolf Play at ACT Theatre by Hansol Jung directed by Rosa Joshi. Interesting story about a lesbian queer couple, unconventional adoption, parenting, betrayal, & boxing. Novel puppetry. #LGBT #LGBTQ

Synopsis from the Theatre: When an online adoption process goes sideways, the young boy caught in the middle launches himself into a lone wolf’s journey to find a pack he can call his own. From South Korean playwright Hansol Jung, one of the most imaginative story tellers in the field, comes a wild new play employing puppetry, boxing, and crackling dialogue to tell the affecting story of trust, love, identity, and the families we choose and unchoose.

Other Rave(s) Not Mentioned in Elevator Thoughts

  • Puppetry: I usually don’t like puppetry on-stage (and thankfully only the main character was a puppet), but I’ll admit that the puppetry design/presentation in this play was unique. Throughout the show, Morgan Gwilym Tso portrayed a child (Wolf) as a life-sized non-furry puppet. A side benefit was that it let the theatre avoid casting a child actor, which can be problematic.
  • Courtroom Scene: They lowered poles from the ceiling to simulate a boxing ring in the courtroom.
  • Lesbian MomsLGBTQ Parents (Updated 5/21): This play showcases an LGBTQ couple with a lipstick female (Robin) and a more butch non-binary person (Ash) who was originally born a female. Ash was a boxer with a beard and hairy armpits! I originally described them as a “lesbian couple” since that’s how Concord Theatricals (the organization that licensed the play performing rights to ACT Theatre) described them. But a reader messaged me that “queer couple” is more accurate.

Rant(s)

  • Opening Monologe : The play started slow with a monologue but eventually hit its stride. I suggest cutting or shortening the monologue. You want to hook the audience at the very beginning.

Other Musing(s) and Observation(s)

  • eBay Adoptions: The premise is that a lesbian queer couple adopts a child online from a family who changed their mind about raising an adopted kid. It’s like a how one might adopt a dog at the shelter and later decide to give it away to another family because the dog pees on the carpet. I never really considered people might actually commit this atrocity in real life until this play. Sadly, it probably happens more than we realize.
