The Emerald City is known for many things: angst-ridden rock music, questionable fashion choices, gorgeous scenery, and just a tad too much rain. The Broadway world knows there is now another reputation Seattle can boast: great success with world premiere musicals. 'We chose Seattle for a reason,' says Chicago-based playwright Michael Govier, who is bringing his new comedic musical, The King's Proposal (or the Marriage of Princess Guido) to the city as part of Seattle Musical Theatre's 33rd season next month. 'There's a rich history here, and this city is a hot spot for musical debuts-just look at Hairspray, Young Frankenstein, Next to Normal... there are dozens of big guns that have started here.'
