Chamber musical of “Melancholy Play” w/ Undergraduate Theatre Society at UW. Awful script but promising actors. Annoyingly quirky. Almond references were maddening until I realized being an almond may be symbolic for being nuts. #Childish #SocialContract
“The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical” tour. Somehow they made the minimalist set/props & small cast work. Catchy songs. Dazzling audio/lighting effects. Anticlimactic ending. High school demigod half-bloods. #LTMusical
Closing weekend to “Marie – Dancing Still” with 5th Avenue Theatre. The ballet theme lent a unique beautiful graceful elegance to this musical. Side note, this was the first time I’ve attended a professional show that abruptly paused midway for technical difficulties!
“Jesus Christ Superstar” w/ Cornish College of the Arts. Unexpected post-apocalyptic tribal airport theme. Casting (mostly gender-blind) was not well suited for vocal ranges & the shortage of male theatre actors was grossly apparent. Great band & choreography though.
