Dear Readers, the bio-musical is a tricky thing. Some love them, some hate them. For me, it all depends on if you have an affinity for the music of the subjects, plus it needs a strong book. And then there’s the current show from Village Theatre, “We Ain’t Ever Gonna Break Up: The Hymon and Parfunkel Musical”, a show bold enough to create a made-up songwriting duo and spend their time poking fun at the genre they attempt to fit into, the bio-musical. But, without recognizable songs to hook you, we’re left with the strength of the book. Luckily the book is hilarious, assuming you’re a fan of the well-crafted groaner. Which I am.
Village Theatre will present WE AIN'T EVER GONNA BREAK UP: THE HYMON AND PARFUNKEL MUSICAL, a new buddy comedy about a fictional folk duo, closing its 2025-2026 season in Issaquah and Everett.
The Phoenix Theatre Company will present Million Dollar Quartet, the Tony Award-winning musical inspired by a historic recording session at Sun Records. The production brings Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins together onstage for a reimagining of a pivotal moment in music history.
Don’t forget where you came from. Words spoken by Sam Phillips, founder and owner of Sun Records, to Elvis Presley. The holiday production at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre is Million Dollar Quartet Christmas. It continues the story where Million Dollar Quartet ends.
The spotlight is set to shine on a holiday whodunit as 'Murder for Two: Holiday Edition' will debut at Capital Repertory Theatre. One actor plays eager young police officer Marcus Moscowicz, while the other actor plays all 10 suspects.
