A magical winter wonderland comes to life as The 5th Avenue Theatre welcomes Irving Berlin’s White Christmas to the Seattle stage. This heartwarming holiday musical combines unforgettable songs, dazzling choreography, and a snowfall during every performance. Don't miss this enchanting tale from November 25 - December 24, 2023.

I've never been a fan of transplanting classic works such as Shakespeare to "new and exciting" locales and time periods but I have seen it work as long as the adaptation enhances the existing story somehow or at the very least makes sense with the story. Unfortunately, Seattle Shakespeare Company's current musical adaptation of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with a 1930's movie musical bent fails on both respects and then some. It's got a few elements in it that work but overall it makes little sense and the added music adds nothing but confusion.

A Midsummer Night's Dream opens at Seattle Shakespeare Company tonight! Theatrical magic and fairy antics share billing in this musical valentine to the stage. It's a fantastical tale of love gone kerflooey.
