Seattle Rep Kicks Off 2014-15 Season with THE VAUDEVILLIANS Tonight
By: BWW News Desk
Seattle artists and Cornish College graduates Jerick Hoffer and Richard Andriessen (widely known as their performance personas Jinkx Monsoon and Major Scales) bring their New York smash hit The Vaudevillians back to Seattle to open the Leo K. season, beginning tonight, October 3, and running through November 2, 2014.
Recently seen in Seattle in Balagan Theatre's productions of Spring Awakening and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Hoffer displays his immense musical talent alongside partner Andriessen in this vintage cabaret.
Following a sold-out off-Broadway run and an international tour to Australia, Seattle natives Jerick Hoffer (Jinkx Monsoon, "RuPaul's Drag Race") and Richard Andriessen (Major Scales) bring this bawdy, rowdy musical revue home. The impossible premise? "The Vaudevillians," a fictional 1920s duo, were literally frozen in time while touring in Antarctica. Thawing out nearly a century later, they discover their original music has been co-opted throughout the years-and they're not going to stand for it. Wigs will fly as the two perform hits from the likes of Janis Joplin and Gloria Gaynor in the style of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin. It's a vintage cabaret with a twist of drag.
