John Crist – Comedy Show – Washington State Fair

Attended viral YouTube star John Crist’s show w/ Midori at Washington State Fair. #Hilarious #Christian standup #comedy made it’s way to the USA’s “#unchurched belt.” Amusingly relatable if you grew up in the church. Opening acts by Aaron Weber & Dustin Nickerson.

Cirque Goes Broadway – Concert – Seattle Symphony & Troupe Vertigo

@SeattleSymphony & @TroupeVertigo's — Seattle Symphony & Troupe Vertigo’s “Cirque Goes Broadway” w/ dad at Benaroya Hall. Liked the idea of incorporating visuals w/ orchestra since concerts can be boring to watch. But slower, more obscure songs than expected made the circus acts less exciting. Outstanding singers though. #acrobatics

BonBon – Cabaret – Can Can

“BonBon” at Can Can Culinary Cabaret. Crazy athletics! Pleasantly surprised to see familiar professional actors from the Seattle theatre scene singing & dancing in the show. #cabaret #burlesque #dinnerTheatre #hunks ?

Saloon – Show – Cirque Eloize

Watched @CirqueEloize's #Saloon at @TacomaArtsLive. Better than @CirqueDuSoleil but it was no @Teatro_ZinZanni. #Corney comedic relief. Trailer was better than the real thing. #Circus #WildWildWest #Acrobatics — Watched Cirque Eloize’s “Saloon” with Tacoma Arts Live at Pantages Theatre.

Jello Underground – Show – Evolv Fitness

Following an afternoon of wine tasting, I kept it classy & watched Jello Underground w/ Andres at Evolv Fitness. Not something I'd expect from South Lake Union. Deaf & splashed w/ jello. — Following an afternoon of wine tasting, I kept it classy & watched Jello Underground w/ Andres at Evolv Fitness. Not something I’d expect from South Lake Union.

Disenchanted! – Musical/Show – Mamches

Watched Disenchanted - A New Musical Comedy, a parody of Disney princesses. Huge stage. Funny but borderline corny. Loved the Mulan's lesbian bit. — attending Disenchanted! at 12th Avenue Arts. — Watched Disenchanted – A New Musical Comedy, a parody of Disney princesses. Huge stage. Funny but borderline corny.

Pageant – The Musical Comedy Beauty Competition – ACT Theatre

Attended Pageant - The Hilarious Comedy Musical on the second evening of Seattle Pride weekend. 6 drag queens compete for the crown ... & actually sing! Different winner each show depending on the audience. I was totally rooting for Miss Texas & Miss Bible Belt. — Attended Pageant – The Hilarious Comedy Musical on the second evening of Seattle Pride weekend. 6 drag queens compete for the crown … & actually sing!

Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill – Play with Music – ArtsWest

Watched the — Watched the “jukebox play” Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill. No plot except Billie Holliday gets sloshed and unravels on a nightclub stage. Great jazzy sound. Would have been amazing if drinks and maybe light food were served throughout the performance.

The Marvelous Wonderettes – Musical – Glendale Centre Theatre

Watched The Marvelous Wonderettes, a jukebox musical featuring retro tight harmony girl group songs. With such incredible voices, it's a shame they used prerecorded accompaniment. Kinda wish there was a plot too. — Watched The Marvelous Wonderettes, a jukebox musical featuring retro tight harmony girl group songs.
