And I'm also going to throw in my own Critic's Choice for the hell of it. So without further ado, the envelopes please...

Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre is presenting the 2nd production in their season, Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" starring American Idol Finalist Anthony Fedorov in the title role.

ArtsWest starts the 2009-10 season with DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE, a wildly imaginative new work from Sarah Ruhl, the playwright behind The Clean House and Eurydice. When Jean answers the cell phone of the corpse at the next table, she unwittingly embarks on a quirky odyssey that takes her from grief to the black market to the afterlife. With unfailing empathy, she sets the dead man's bizarre life to rights and on the way resurrects her own. ArtsWest favorite Carol Roscoe returns to direct this Seattle Premiere.
