Every once in a while, a show comes along that feels like you are catching something before the rest of the world does. That is the experience with Here and Their, now performing at 12th Ave Arts. This original musical production epitomizes local Seattle theater at its finest. It is original, funny, tender, layered, and filled with heart. That it is happening in a small black box space makes it all the more impressive.
The world premiere of nonbinary musical HERE AND THEIR, with book by local artist Jasmine Joshua, music/lyrics by Heather Ragusa, and story by Jasmine Joshua and Alexei Cifrese, will run on Capitol Hill throughout Pride Month.
On Friday, December 13, I had the pleasure of seeing JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT spectacularly performed at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport, CT. Marking the fiftieth anniversary of this very first musical collaboration between songwriter Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice, this show remains entertaining to audiences across multiple generations. Under the direction of Andrea Pane and choreography of Cassie Caroll, this stellar cast delivers a phenomenal performance! The cast includes some of my favorite familiar local talent, such as Robert Peterpaul, Andrea Pane, Everton Ricketts, and Cassie Caroll. This show has now also introduced me to the amazing talent of Desi Amato, who shines as the best narrator I have ever seen in this show.
Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat are heading back to their pre-Broadway home. The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice penned phenomenon returns to the Downtown Cabaret Theatre's Main Stage for a four-weekend run beginning Friday, December 6th.
