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
“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!
“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.
“Fiddler on the Roof” at Paramount Theatre w/ Andres & Eyal. Slow, unexciting, & educational. But great traditional jewish choreography. Loved the yiddish expressions. #tradition
“Summer – The Donna Summer Musical” w/ Seattle Theatre Group. Amazing divas. Great light show. Exquisite minimalist modern set design. But the transitions & storyline pace were awkward & tepid. #disco
“Miracle on 34th Street” #musical adaptation w/ Seattle Musical Theatre. Lead actors were good but the overhead stage microphones allowed the live band/orchestra to overpower them. #Xmas #Christmas #Santa
