Watched the musical Dreamgirls with Paul and Johnathon. Incredible showstopping voices all throughout! Consistently amazed how little ole’ Issaquah houses such a high quality theater company.
Attended a matinee performance of The Producers – A New Musical by Mel Brooks. Hilarious show with catchy songs and strong vocals/dance! For such a low ticket price, it offered well-polished student production value that rivaled some major professional tours.
Watched the stage adaptation of the Gershwin musical An American In Paris on Broadway. Every movement (even in the strictly acting portions with no music) was nuanced with ballet-like elegance. Very charming classic feel.
Attended the last performance of First Date The Musical. Definitely reeked of community theater quality but it’s still one of my favorite musicals so we’ll give this production a pass. Houston’s Theatre Under The Stars is always a tough act to follow.
Saw the Cole Porter musical “Kiss Me Kate.” Good community theater production but kinda misogynist. Side note, Seattle seriously needs to be less casual. Guy sitting next to me needed a bath AND he took off his house slippers! — at Seattle Musical Theatre.
