BWW Reviews: PRISCILLA at the Paramount is One Big Spectacle with No Heart
OK Broadway Producers, we need to have a chat.
BWW Reviews: A Soaring Score in the Bleak FLOYD COLLINS from STAGEright
It's not the happiest or most easily accessible of shows, which is probably why it's not often done.
BWW Reviews: Lungfish's SOPHIE Long on Heart, Short on Intent
Pass the cigars around; it's the birth of a brand new theatre company.
BWW Reviews: ISABELLA ROSSELLINI: GREEN PORNO Is A Naughty Education
"You know we're going to talk about sex tonight, right?" Those are some of the first words spoken by Isabella Rossellini (with a devilish twinkle in her eye) after she walked onto stage the other night at the Moore Theatre for her "Green Porno" performance letting the audience know we were in for o
BWW Reviews: Azeotrope's RED LIGHT WINTER and 25 SAINTS Brim with Dark Passion and Power
There are some aspects of life that most of us don't delve into.
BWW Reviews: PETER AND THE STARCATCHER Brings Magic and Brilliance to the Moore
Dear Readers, have you lost that innocence and exuberance of youth? Are you no longer fascinated by the wonder of flying boys, singing mermaids and maniacal pirates? Well then I have the cure for you.
BWW Reviews: Seattle Shakes MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING Combines Humor and Jazz
OK, so I've seen it several times.
BWW Reviews: Seattle Rep's BO-NITA - Seven Characters in One Little Girl
No, it's not "Sybil", just one 13 year old girl with a lot to say about the crazy people in her life.
BWW Reviews: FIFTH OF JULY Powerfully Begins Theatre22's Life
Newborn theatre company Theatre22 has stumbled into the light of the world with its inaugural production of Lanford Wilson's post Vietnam War drama, "Fifth of July".
BWW Reviews: 5th Ave's ANYTHING GOES Brings Charm, Humor & Spirit to a Classic
Do ya hear that playin'? Do ya know what's playin'? Why it's one of the best interpretations of a classic musical I've seen.
BWW Reviews: Balagan's CARRIE: THE MUSICAL Shines Despite Production and Material Woes
Any true Broadway Geek knows of the infamous flop that is "Carrie: The Musical".
BWW Reviews: SUGAR DADDIES at ACT Gives Complex and Funny Characters
Sir Alan Ayckbourn certainly knows how to bring rich and complex characters to life and then set them spinning to hilarious ends and his current production of "Sugar Daddies", making it's American Premiere at ACT, is no exception.
BWW Reviews: Paramount's THE WIZARD OF OZ Does No Honor to Original
There are some classics you just don't mess with.
BWW Reviews: NCTC's THE WALWORTH FARCE Manages Hilarious Mixed with Terrifying
New Century Theatre Company's track record for putting on stunning shows remains brilliantly intact as they present another absolute winner with Enda Walsh's "The Walworth Farce".
BWW Reviews: THE TAMING at ArtsWest Filled with Cliché, Implausibilities and Pauses
If you're going to have a play espousing rhetoric on politics and the state of our Government let it have something new (or at least clever) to say, otherwise it's the same old stuff we've heard droning on for years.
BWW Reviews: Seattle Rep's THE SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS … Too … Much … Laughing … Can't Breathe!
(Sputter, gasp wheeze) There, I can breathe again.
BWW Reviews: HELLO DARLIN'S at Langston Hughes Remembers a Comedy Pioneer
Imagine you go to see a comedienne.
BWW Reviews: A Bit Disjointed but SECONDHAND LIONS at 5th Ave Full of Fantasy and Heart
OK, so we're all sick of the trend of movies turned into musicals but, Dear Readers, just as movies have to keep remaking themselves, Broadway will keep culling from film vaults for new musicals.
BWW Reviews: MAP Theatre's SOFT CLICK OF A SWITCH Brims With a Likable Creepiness
We've all had those fleeting thoughts in our heads every now and again of doing something completely outrageous like blowing something up or offing someone just because we don't like their face.
BWW Reviews: XANADU at Village Sparkles With 80's Kitsch
Sometimes goofy is all you really need.
BWW Reviews: Balagan's LES MISERABLES Has Laudable Moments But Lacked Some Power
I must be honest here; Balagan Theatre putting on a production of Les Mis already has two hurdles to overcome before I even set foot in the door.
BWW Reviews: Thoughtful and Touching MIDDLETOWN at ACT
We don't live in Grover's Corners anymore and a lot has changed in the century since that time.
BWW Reviews: SISTER ACT at the Paramount Starts Weak But Finishes Strong
There's an old show business adage that if you give the audience a strong ending, they'll forgive most anything that came before.
BWW Reviews: STC Throws One WILD PARTY That Shouldn't Be Missed!
It's a really good thing the air conditioning is working in the Seattle Center Armory because something has to cool the audience down after Sound Theatre Company's current production of "The Wild Party".
