Opening night to Kiss Me, Kate musical featuring songs by Cole Porter. Originally saw in a community theater (Seattle Musical Theatre) and man, the professional production is so much better! — attending Kiss Me, Kate at The 5th Avenue Theatre.
Watched Crowns The Gospel Musical. Good songs but no subtantial plot. They were literally just talking about wearing hats! There’s only so much you can say. — attending Crowns at Taproot Theatre.
Easter Sunday matinee of Jesus Christ Superstar musical. Not terrible but not amazing either. They used accompaniment recording (instead of a live band), which is one of my theatre pet peeves. — attending Jesus Christ Superstar at Tacoma Little Theatre.
Watched the new musical “Sincerely Yours.” While I respect that this was written by high schoolers, it was just a lukewarm piece and performance. And why were there no guys? Single gender shows tend to be more boring in my experience. — attending Sincerely Yours at Village Theatre.
Traveled to Siberia (Federal Way) to watch the Shakespeare-inspired sci-fri (aka cheesy) rock musical Return to the Forbidden Planet. Just … awful! It’s a shame cause the set was good & 1/2 the actors were inherently talented. Wasn’t sure if the lead actor lost his voice. — attending Return to the Forbidden Planet [Final Weekend] at Centerstage Theatre.
