“True West” play at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Intricate set … albeit tiny. Deliciously dislikeable trailer trash brothers unsettlingly doing what you don’t want them to do. Unexpected (kinda senseless) ending. #siblings #siblingrivalry
Hershey Felder’s sold out “Monsieur Chopin” at Seattle Repertory Theater. Talented pianist performed songs (including a nocturne I can play) from my favorite composer. Surprised there were no etudes though.
“Shout Sister Shout!” gospel musical w/ dad at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Dynamite music & voices! Takes me back to my conservative Southern religious upbringing. It’s unfortunate that church-inspired condemnation & guilt back then is still pervasive today.
“The Great Moment” play at Seattle Rep w/ dad. Plot-less & excessively sentimental. Unrealistically overenergetic 100 y/o character & too many obscure references. But child character was funny. Kudos on the fantastic set design and to the lead actress for pushing through under the weather. #life #death
Indecent on Broadway w/ Seattle Rep. Pleasanty surprised this play had musical-like singing & dancing w/ a live Yiddish/Jewish band. Great dialect coaching. However, this “God of Vengeance” play-within-a-play was a bit too deep for me. #Lesbian #LGBT
“As You Like It” musical w/ Seattle Rep. Cute adaptation of the Shakespeare comedy. Lightning cut the lights/sound midshow & an audience member wandered onstage! #technicalDifficulties
“Tiny Beautiful Things” w/ Seattle Repertory Theatre. Well-performed emotional monologues & impressive memorization. But this play about a columnist needed less Oprah & Lifetime with more “Sex & the City.” #basic
“Nina Simone – Four Women” w/ Seattle Repertory Theatre. Great voices (esp the deep alto). But boring preachy play w/ no plot. Probably would have enjoyed it more if I actually knew her songs! #NinaSimone
“A Doll’s House, Part 2” at Seattle Repertory Theatre. While I acknowledge the longstanding unfair gender inequality in our patriarchal society, I wanted to watch an entertaining play – not listen to a preachy lecture about feminism. #Ibsen
