There’s certainly a lot than can be said for Intiman Theatre’s current production of Charles Ludlam’s “The Mystery of Irma Vep”. It’s a classic bit of camp from a bygone era starring two very funny performers (Jesse Calixto and Helen Roundhill), and directed by Jasmine Joshua, a fantastic performer in their own right and the producer who brought us that fantastic gender bent production of “Little Shop of Horrors” a few years back. So much going for it that it even made my “Top 10 Seattle Productions to Look Forward To in 2022” list. Unfortunately, as much as it had going for it, it also had plenty going against it. A script definitely from a bygone era and a company that kept getting mired in their own jokes, making this a fun show but not the gut buster I was hoping for.

With three new cast members, the show is just as fun and thrilling as before.
