ACT's Central Heating Lab Premieres SEATTLE VICE Musical Tonight

Inspired by the book Seattle Vice by Rick Anderson, this cabaret musical set in 1965 combines dancing, comedy, and original music created by Mark Siano (The Habit, Soft Rock Kid) and Opal Peachey (Modern Luv, Café Nordo).

A lively, historical peep-show, Seattle Vice is an immersive experience that takes the audience underground into one of alleged gangster Frank Colacurcio's notorious night clubs. Vice tells the story of how Colacurcio came to dominate vice and crime during Seattle's infamous "anything goes" era.

Seattle Vice features nightly guest burlesque and cabaret performers and is accompanied by the live band The Enablers.

The new musical premieres tonight, March 28 - April 19 2014 via Marxiano Productions and The Central Heating Lab at ACT. Created by Mark Siano and Opal Peachey and inspired by the book by Rick Anderson, the show runs: 8:30 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at the ACT Theatre Bullitt Cabaret 700 Union Street Seattle WA 98101. Tickets: $20 General Admission; $35 VIP. Visit www.acttheatre.org or call 206-292-7676 or with ACTPass membership. NOTICE: 21 and over only.
