Review: SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE PRECARIOUS POSITION at Taproot Theatre


by Jay Irwin - May 19, 2024

First off, Dear Readers, “Sherlock Holmes and the Precarious Position” currently playing at Taproot Theatre, is not a Holmes story from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It’s a silly little lark with Holmesian characters by Margaret Raether. The program even says, “Based on the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doy...

Review: ONCE ON THIS ISLAND at Village Theatre


by Jay Irwin - May 18, 2024

Dear Readers, we’re about to enter the realm of one of my favorite shows, “Once on This Island”, currently playing at Village Theatre. This gem of a show is, sadly, not often produced. In fact, I’ve only seen it twice, once on Broadway in 2017, and once in 2005, again from Village Theatre. Both of t...

Review: UNRIVALED at Seattle Public Theater


by Shelley Dean - May 16, 2024

There are countless modern retellings of historical events out there, I could name twenty right now, but Unrivaled does it differently, in a fresh way that deserves to be talked about.

Review: ROMEO AND JULIET at Center Theatre At Seattle Center


by Shelley Dean - May 06, 2024

The biggest challenge of pulling off a show such as Romeo and Juliet is finding new ways to keep the audience interested when we all know what happens. If you’re going to put on a production of a play that has been endlessly adapted, performed, and studied for longer than any of us have been around,...

Review: THE LION TELLS HIS TALE at Broadway Performance Hall


by Shelley Dean - May 04, 2024

History is often rewritten in a way that is easier to digest, leading to hundreds of years of misinformation and erasure of the struggles of marginalized and persecuted groups. Artfully directed by Steve Sneed, Intiman Theatre has officially opened the world premiere of The Lion Tells His Tale, the ...

Review: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY at ACT Theatre


by Jay Irwin - May 03, 2024

At first glance, Dear Readers, Stefano Massini’s “The Lehman Trilogy”, as adapted by Ben Power and currently playing at ACT, may seem like a daunting task. I mean, a 3-and-a-half-hour play (thankfully with two intermissions) about bankers. It doesn’t sound like a rollicking good time. It sounds like...

Review: DISNEY'S ALADDIN at The Paramount Theatre


by Jay Irwin - April 25, 2024

If there’s one thing, Dear Readers, that Disney is good at, it’s spectacle. But when you take that spectacle and combine it with one of their most musically magical properties such as “Aladdin”, it should end up with theatrical gold for the whole family. When the genie first poked his head from the ...
