Afternoon matinee of Legally Blonde the Musical in concert. Casting black actresses as Elle Woods and Paulette Bonafonté added a neat twist to this fun musical.
Attended the Seattle Symphony featuring music by Camille Saint-Saëns & Fredrick Chopin. 2nd time in my life @ the symphony. I must say, the audience is VERY gratuitous w/ applause & standing ovation than what I’m used to in musicals. Thanks for the tix Paul!
Opened Seattle Pride with the Seattle Men’s Chorus concert “God Save the Queens” – a tribute to British music. Loved “Twist and Shout!” Not a fan of Prince Poppycock though. Cast more solos from the chorus members! Miss singing with y’all!
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.
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.
