Hell’s Kitchen – Jukebox Musical – Review – Paramount Theatre

Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen jukebox #musical at the Paramount Theatre from Broadway Across America and Seattle Theatre Group. Captured the infectious pulse of '90s Manhattan through urban choreography, a sick beat, and spot-on period-accurate costumes/wigs. Starring Maya Drake. Formidable belt from Kennedy Caughell. Regal perfection from Roz White. Buy tickets before it leaves Seattle 7/26! 🎭... Click to read more

Jesus Christ Superstar – Rock Opera Musical – Review – The 5th Avenue Theatre

Welcomed the Sabbath on opening night of The 5th Avenue Theatre's Jesus Christ Superstar rock opera musical. This brutalist, post-apocalyptic dystopian rebel themed production outshined the national tour. Stunning lighting design from Robert Aguilar.
