BWW Review: DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE at Nordo
In the past, Dear Readers, when I’ve attended shows at Nordo there’s been a definite story to accompany the fine dinner within the theme of the show.

BWW Review: GHOSTS at the Seattle Rep
To say that Henrik Ibsen’s play “Ghosts”, currently playing at the Seattle Rep as translated from the Norwegian by Paul Walsh, is bleak is an understatement to say the least.
BWW Review: MRS. CALIBAN from Book-It Repertory Theatre
Dear Readers, I’ve said it before, a good ending of a play can forgive a multitude of sins that came before.
BWW Review: THE SPITFIRE GRILL at Taproot Theatre
Most people associate springtime with hope, a time when things can begin anew.
BWW Review: THE THIN PLACE at ACT
Do you like a good ghost story, Dear Readers? I do.
BWW Review: PIPELINE at Seattle Public Theater
Dear Readers, if you’re familiar with Dominique Morisseau’s play, “Pipeline”, currently playing at Seattle Public Theater, you know what a striking play it is.
BWW Review: THIS GIRL LAUGHS, THIS GIRL CRIES, THIS GIRL DOES NOTHING at ArtsWest
Dear Readers, I’ve often commented on the basics of any good show, storytelling.
BWW Review: TEENAGE DICK at The Seattle Rep
The provocative title, “Teenage Dick”, for the current show at the Seattle Rep is giving some people pause while others just find it hilarious.
BWW Review: THE BAND'S VISIT at The Paramount Theatre
Dear Readers, I want to tell you a story about a show.
BWW Review: HOLMES & WATSON at Driftwood Theater
HOLMES & WATSON at the Driftwood Theater has twists and turns enough to intrigue and laughs enough to delight.
BWW Review: THE BOOK CLUB PLAY at Village Theatre
Don’t get me wrong, Dear Readers, I love a good sitcom.
BWW Review: SHAKESPEARE: DRUM & COLOURS - AS YOU LIKE IT at Seattle Shakespeare Company
Dear Readers, after last week’s less than stellar “Hamlet” from Seattle Shakespeare Company’s “Drum and Colours” series, I was trepidatious to say the least, for this week’s premiere of “Shakespeare: Drum & Colours – As You Like It”.
BWW Review: SHAKESPEARE: DRUM & COLOURS - HAMLET from Seattle Shakespeare Company
Who? What? Where? Why? These are the questions I wish the current production of “Hamlet” from Seattle Shakespeare Company had been able to answer but sadly did not.
BWW Review: FREESTYLE LOVE SUPREME at The Seattle Rep
Take the genius that is Lin-Manuel Miranda, add in some delicious improv and shake well and you get the absolute joy that is “Freestyle Love Supreme” currently playing at the Seattle Rep.
BWW Review: JERSEY BOYS at 5th Ave Theatre
Friendship, struggles, heartache, and triumph, JERSEY BOYS has it all.
BWW Review: ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE at Tagney Jones Hall
Bold new production of Christoph Willibald Gluck’s iconic rendering of the classic Greek tragedy
BWW Review: THE FIFTH WAVE from Macha Theatre Works
Like so many others, Macha Theater Works was in their final rehearsals back in March of 2020 when the pandemic shut everything down.
BWW Review: THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP at Intiman Theatre
There’s certainly a lot than can be said for Intiman Theatre’s current production of Charles Ludlam’s “The Mystery of Irma Vep”.
BWW Review: HOTTER THAN EGYPT at ACT
Seattle has been honored with a number of new works from Seattle based author and ACT Core Company member Yussef El Guindi.
BWW Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at The 5th Avenue Theatre
There are two words that explain why “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” worked so well as the stunning animated film it is and why it was able to be transferred so well to the stage, Howard Ashman.
BWW Review: SEE HOW THEY RUN at Taproot Theatre
In a world full of conflict, division, and uncertainty, there is a lot to worry about.
BWW Review: MALA at Seattle Public Theater
A one-woman show is not easy.
BWW Review: MONSTERS OF THE AMERICAN CINEMA at ArtsWest
For a play to be a truly satisfying journey we need compelling characters, conflict between those characters and some kind of resolution to the conflict where the characters grow or are richer for the experience.
BWW Review: ANASTASIA at The Paramount Theatre
Dear Readers, some of you may remember the 1997 animated rendition of “Anastasia” that the current musical production at the Paramount is based on … loosely.
BWW Review: OOH LA LA! at The Can Can
In life, Dear Readers, there are, if you’re lucky, moments of excitement and unbridled fun.
