The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Seattle.
Dear Readers, in my capacity as a reviewer and as a musical theater geek at large, I've been privileged to witness more than a few out of town tryouts, those plucky wanna-be Broadway shows taking a shot in another city.
Lily Verlaine and Jasper McCann return to the Triple Door for their 11th season with their adaptation of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland", "Through the Looking Glass, The Burlesque Alice in Wonderland".
Dear Readers, when I hear those three potentially terrifying words "one person show" I imagine a self-indulgent ride through self-aggrandizing memories that begin with the cliche "Oh hey, I didn't see you there…".
From the moment you set foot inside the theater at 12th Ave Arts to catch Washington Ensemble Theatre's current production of Charise Castro Smith's "Feather's and Teeth" you'll be struck with two things.
Cafe Nordo is known for their sumptuous meals combined with fun, lighthearted shows and rollicking music.
Dear Readers, let me start off by saying, I am not a fan of "Cats".
The word that springs to mind when I think of Seattle Public Theater's current production of Ruby Rae Spiegel's "Dry Land" is "gratuitous".
WE WILL NOT BE SILENT at Taproot Theatre is a glimpse into the heart of courage.
Ah, the restoration comedy.
A few years back I was fortunate enough to see Lucas Hnath's wonderful play, "A Doll's House, Part 2" on Broadway and was blown away.
JOHN at ArtsWest is an enigma wrapped in a conundrum, nestled in a puzzle.
Dear Readers, as I'm sure you're aware, we are blessed with an abundance of riches here in Seattle with the local talent who grace our stages, if you know where to look.
When the basis of your play, such as Nick Jones' "Trevor" currently being offered from MAP Theatre, is a real-life story, the gist of which could probably fill up a report on the news and was probably germinated from there, the journey to get to that inevitable conclusion is everything.
CAUGHT presented by Intiman Theatre will catch you off guard and make swiss cheese of all your theories of what is art and what is theater.
Over the years, Dear Readers, I've seen many productions of Shakespeare's oft-produced tragedy 'Romeo + Juliet'.
Are you in the mood for a good scare? A creepy tale that will stay with you all the way home and make you turn on every light once you get there.
Seattle Children's Theatre brings another classic book to life in their production of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
With any luck most of us will bypass any connection to opioid or heroin addiction.
Before any theater company even considers attempting Elton John and Tim Rice's rock musical "Aida", they need to have, at the very least, four things in place.
Yes, Dear Readers, it's "Uncle Vanya" … again.
The idea of stunt casting, the practice of taking a big name and putting them in a role just to get butts in seats, has always terrified me.
OK, so putting up a dark and moody production of Anton Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' may sound redundant but remember, this is The Seagull Project.
If you're going to put up a new musical, such as Annex Theatre's current world premiere 'The Devil and Sarah Blackwater' you need a few things on board.
Seattle Public Theater is currently offering a play you've probably never heard of, "Fire Season".
