Alan Zachary & Michael Weiner's SECONDHAND LIONS Gets World Premiere at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre, 9/10-10/6

By: BWW News Desk Mar. 04, 2013

5th Avenue Theatre just announced its 2013/2014 season, which will feature the world premiere of Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner's SECONDHAND LIONS, with book by Rupert Holmes. The production will be directed by Scott Schwartz and will run September 10-October 6, 2013.

Based on the popular film, this world premiere musical harkens back to a simpler time, when a boy's imagination was all that was needed to turn a summer on a Texas farm into the adventure of a lifetime. The tall tales that his two irascible uncles tell him - stories of hidden treasures, beguiling princesses, and derring-do - take our young hero to the sands of Arabia and beyond. Featuring music and lyrics from the songwriters who brought you the now Broadway-bound First Date, this show is sure to be another runaway hit!

Review: SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE PRECARIOUS POSITION at Taproot Theatre

First off, Dear Readers, “Sherlock Holmes and the Precarious Position” currently playing at Taproot Theatre, is not a Holmes story from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It’s a silly little lark with Holmesian characters by Margaret Raether. The program even says, “Based on the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle”. Second, do not try and gleam anything from the title. I’m still not certain what the “Precarious Position” was. At least, not without really reaching for a connection. Having said that, this silly little lark was fairly fun, largely due to a cast that was having just as much fun. So, it’s not brilliant or life changing, but I will go so far as saying it’s gigglelicious.

Review: ONCE ON THIS ISLAND at Village Theatre

Dear Readers, we’re about to enter the realm of one of my favorite shows, “Once on This Island”, currently playing at Village Theatre. This gem of a show is, sadly, not often produced. In fact, I’ve only seen it twice, once on Broadway in 2017, and once in 2005, again from Village Theatre. Both of those productions hold very special places in my memory as being stellar shows. I tell you this for one reason and one reason only, I am very picky when it comes to this show. I know the story and the music backwards and forwards. And I am loathed to say that this current production suffered from bad choice after bad choice, misstep after misstep, resulting in something that resembled the gem, but ultimately did not shine.
