BWW Reviews: Theatre22's THE LISBON TRAVIATA Relies Too Heavily on a Love of Opera
Terrence McNally is by far one of my favorite playwrights.
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Seattle.
Terrence McNally is by far one of my favorite playwrights.
OK, so we'll start off with the fact that it's an Arthur Miller piece.
Maybe it was the fact that the theater was a hot box.
I must apologize, Dear Readers, for getting this one to you so late.
We all know the annoying trend of turning every well-regarded or sellable movie into a Broadway Musical.
Well this is it, Dear Readers.
It's day four Dear Readers, it's almost all over (sigh), and it's all slowing down.
Day three was yet another roller coaster of emotions as we went from the tragic yet beautiful to the hilarious.
Day two, my three show day, is behind me Dear Readers and it was an absolutely exhilarating one filled with laughs, tears, and culminating in a stunner of a show.
Greetings Dear Readers.
OK let me start off by saying, Babs she ain't and thank God for that.
William Finn's shows are not easy to produce.
The main characters in the new musical version of "A Room with a View" spend their time trying to figure out who they want to become.
A Shakespearean classic directed by Sheila Daniels.
As Americans we tend to love to witness a good familial car wreck.
It's not based on a book or a movie or (God forbid) a TV show.
There's a plot device that has annoyed me since I was a kid.
A world premiere play from one of Seattle's best, Stephanie Timm, directed by one of Seattle's best, Darragh Kennan and from one of Seattle's best theatre groups, New Century Theatre Company.
Psst! Hey Buddy! Yeah you! You lookin' for a good time with some scantily clad performers who are ready and willing to do whatever you want while putting on a hell of a show? Well then you'd better hop in your time machine and head back the 1960's because Seattle doesn't do that anymore.
A musical about imprisonment, homosexuality, fascist regimes, revolutionaries, morphine addiction and a movie star; must be Kander and Ebb because only they could pull it off so beautifully.
You're a cute little new musical that has workshopped itself at Village in their Village Originals program twice before.
I always question the wisdom of these smaller theaters working with almost no budgets putting up these big flashy Broadway shows.
When Seattle Shakespeare Company hits one out of the park they do it with gusto.
I'll admit to a certain amount of trepidation when going to see the world premiere of "Royal Blood" by Sonya Schneider at West of Lenin.
I truly appreciate when a show realizes it doesn't need all the flash, all the bells and whistles, in order to be great.
