BWW Reviews: DAS BARBECU Concert Rocky But Still Golden
Wagner's 'Ring' is back in town at Seattle Opera.
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Seattle.
Wagner's 'Ring' is back in town at Seattle Opera.
I like absurdist farce, raucous hijinks and Italian commedia as much as the next guy and Dario Fo is certainly a master of all three.
When melodrama is done right, it can be a ton of fun.
This is not your Grandfather's "Lysistrata".
It's a tough thing to follow up such a widely acclaimed show as Azeotrope's offering of "Jesus Hopped the A Train" last season.
Even from childhood we've always wanted what the other kid has.
You know how you've always said, "I could've gotten that one" when watching those games shows on TV? Well, now's your time to put up or shut up as Theater Schmeater gives you a chance to immerse yourself into the inner workings of a TV quiz show complete with all the drama, backstabbing and, yes, p
I hope you will indulge me, Dear Reader, as I will not be reviewing the current production of "The Pirates of Penzance" at the 5th Avenue Theatre.
Art and integrity or money and success? Which do you strive for or can you have both? That's the underlying issue at hand in Intiman's current production of Alice Childress' "Trouble In Mind".
John Patrick Shanley's Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning play "Doubt" is and intense and stunning piece of work to be sure but it's far from bullet proof.
It's a very easy trap to fall into when dealing with a small town period piece, taking that wholesome and naive mentality and over infusing it into the show.
Let me start out, Dear Readers, by saying there is no way for me to not be biased about this show.
I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, you practically have to take a masters class in whatever Tom Stoppard is writing about in order to fully get his plays.
The great thing about a show with a series of short plays is that if the current short play just isn't working for you, wait ten minutes and you'll be on to the next one.
Displaying an all too familiar circumstance Book-It Repertory Theatre is currently presenting their production of Jess Walter's book, 'The Financial Lives of the Poets', in which our hero must survive the pressures of our crumbling economy any way he can.
It's a fine line between a biting familial dramedy and diving head first into the realm of back biting reality TV.
From the sumptuous meal to the hilarious antics to the high flying thrills, you always know you're going to have a stellar time at a Teatro ZinZanni show and their current show "Lucky in Love" is no exception.
Musical Theater is a strange animal.
For a show that is all about words and how to express them correctly, it sometimes feels that Julia Cho's "The Language Archive" could have done a little better expressing them efficiently.
Theatrically speaking, there are few things in this town that are a sure lock of enjoyment.
In these exciting times where state after state are ratifying same sex marriage laws and teens are taking their same sex boyfriends and girlfriends to school dances, we can sometimes lose sight of the people that fought to break down those barriers to get us where we are today.
I've seen it more times than I care to count.
The conclusion of the "Team of Heroes" Trilogy, "Team of Heroes: No More Heroes" currently playing at Annex Theatre has swooped in to save us all, but it could use some saving of its own.
I've always been leery of transplanting locales and time periods of classic plays just because we can.
A few days ago I posted a review for another comedy in town where I commented on the fact that they just don't write farces like they used to.
