Eureka Day – Play – Mini Review – Seattle Rep

Jonathan Spector’s brilliant Eureka Day play at Seattle Rep. Hilariously cringey, deliciously uncomfortable mirror held up to liberal idealism, passive-aggressive virtue signaling, & self-involved navel gazing. This rage-baiting satire feels right at home in woke Seattle. No wonder the right thinks we're absurd! Set in Sara C. Walsh’s beautiful Golden Gate scenic design. It's a must-see before closing next weekend. I previously predicted that this play was tailor-made for the PNW in my Broadway review: showsiveseen.com/11090... Click to read more

5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche – Mini Review – Pony World Theatre – 12th Ave Arts

Final week to catch Andrew Hobgood & Evan Linder's 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche from Pony World Theatre at 12th Ave Arts! Campy & absurd like an SNL sketch w/ 1950s Stepford satire. Lisa Viertel delivers a formidable, matriarchal "widow" with a stick up her hoo-Ha. Watch Megan Huynh tear up that "pie!" 🥧"No men, no meat, no manners!" ... and unalive that beeyotch Marjorie! Sold out run, but there's a promising waitlist.... Click to read more

Oh, Mary! – Play – Review – Paramount Theatre

Cole Escola’s campy sensation Oh, Mary! national tour at Paramount Theatre via STG & Broadway Across America. Starring Alaska Thunderfuck. Unexpected SNL-style deadpans and a hilariously unhinged spin on gay history. The sound/lighting design worked in crisp synchronicity. Unexpected final twists. A unique chaotic drag play. 🎭✨ ...

Smoke on the Mountain – Musical – Mini Review – Taproot Theatre

Smoke on the Mountain musical at Taproot Theatre is proof that wholesome conservative church folk "get turnt AF" on a Saturday night. There was even a hymn singalong! Quite a novelty in "Seattle & Gomorrah." Talented multi-instrumentalist do-gooder troupe anchored by Candace Vance's impressive alto and Sam Vance's music direction. This talented do-gooder troupe swaps between a wide plethora of instruments. This bluegrass country gospel toe-tapping show closes 11/7. 🪕🎭 #theatre ... Click to read more
