Free waitlist tickets to the sold-out performance of Spring Awakening with Paul. Talented promising actors. Novel economical staging elements. But too dark, emo, and angsty. Teenagers! Was I ever this dramatic?
Watched The Last 5 Years musical. Two performers took turns accompanying each other while recounting memories of their relationship. Great piano score. Confusing timeline.
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.”
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.
Watched the sold out Green Day musical American Idiot. Totally fitting for Capitol Hill. Snowpocalypse won’t keep me away from the theater tonight!
