Grease – Musical – Review – Village Theatre

Grease musical by Village Theatre. Maya McQueen and Daniel Velasquez shine backed by the theatre's signature top-tier choreo, vocals, and band. Ben Dow's "Those Magic Changes" was pure magic. The retro doo-wop score and squeaky-clean 1950s harmonies/setting were reminiscent of The 5th Ave Theatre’s Bye Bye Birdie. Closed in Issaquah, but still playing in Everett through June 7! 🎸 ...

The Best Damn Thing – Musical – Mini Review – Dacha Theatre

The Best Damn Thing - Dacha Theatre's random Avril Lavigne-inspired musical-ish show (but not a jukebox musical) at 12th Ave Arts. An ode to personal masterpieces and angsty 2000s theatre teen friendship that only Gen Z and Millennials would fully appreciate. Bloody tampons, lady fingering, oh my! Clever microphone work. Pure Capitol Hill chaos. ... Click to read more
