Watched The Last 5 Years musical. Two performers took turns accompanying each other while recounting memories of their relationship. Great piano score. Confusing timeline.

Something Rotten! – Musical – Mini Review – 5th Avenue Theatre
Attended the opening night of Something Rotten! musical featuring Adam Pascal. It’s like The Producers and Spamalot had a baby. So many theatre references that I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much if I didn’t see so many musicals.
Sister Act – Musical – Mini Review – Cornish Playhouse
Watched the stage version of Sister Act. Loved the groovy disco vibe, witty quips, and hilarious songs. Well-written and strong performance overall. But the individual actors by themselves were not showstopping. Also, I’m pretty sure Seattle’s ethnic shortage forced the production’s casting to be more “colorblind.”
[title of show] – Musical – Mini Review – Bainbridge Performing Arts
Took the ferry to see the musical [title of show]. Set and props were minimal, but this allowed the audience to fully appreciate the actors’ talent and the novel/brilliant script. Probably the funniest musical I’ve seen.
Vietgone – Play – Mini Review – Seattle Rep
Watched the nearly sold-out play Vietgone. Cleverly written and brilliantly executed. Even the integrated rap (not my favorite genre) segments weren’t half bad. Standing ovation from me!
