“West Side Story” musical w/ dad at The 5th Avenue Theatre. Rich male lead voice. Iconic songs. Beautiful orchestration. Strong choreography but comical for tough #gangs to “ballet fight.” Teens are so melodramatic! Can’t we just get along? #RomeoAndJuliet
“Hart Island” developing beta musical w/ dad at Village Theatre. Versatile talented cast & tight complex wordless harmonies. But I’m skeptical the show will go mainstage w/o fixing the monochromatic downer motif & unclear plot holes. #BlackLivesMatter #Rap #Minorities
Stage musical production of “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” w/ dad at Seattle Musical Theatre. Some good songs & awesome Miss Mona actress. But slow dialogue, awkward transitions, & terrible microphones. #Brothel
Seattle Symphony & Troupe Vertigo’s “Cirque Goes Broadway” w/ dad at Benaroya Hall. Liked the idea of incorporating visuals w/ orchestra since concerts can be boring to watch. But slower, more obscure songs than expected made the circus acts less exciting. Outstanding singers though. #acrobatics
Loud “Million Dollar Quartet” jukebox musical w/ Village Theatre. Limited plot but great stage presence & theatrics. Jerry Lee Lewis pianist was out of this world! #Elvis #JohnnyCash #CarlPerkins #Rock #Country
