BWW Reviews: An Uneven AS YOU LIKE IT at Seattle Shakespeare Company
There are some Shakespeare shows that are not quite as bulletproof as others.
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Seattle.
There are some Shakespeare shows that are not quite as bulletproof as others.
I had a very confusing night last night.
Flying House Productions is currently presenting two shows over at the Erickson Theatre that's bound to appeal to all kinds of musical theater lovers.
England in the 1960's may not have been able to get away with overt displays as we can today but that doesn't mean they were any less randy.
When will they learn that simply putting the music of some notable singers on stage without a decent script to back it up does not a good musical make? It's didn't work for "Good Vibrations" it didn't work for "Lennon" and it doesn't work for "Million Dollar Quartet" currently playing at the Paramo
Sometimes we just don't need those big flashy musicals.
It's difficult when you have an iconic show to work with such as "The Producers" currently playing at Village Theatre.
A show about two nobodies writing a musical about themselves writing the musical they are in.
The thing I love about catching shows from the only three year old STAGEright is that you can see the amount of heart and love they pour into their productions.
Let me just start by saying I have never read or seen any works by Federico Garcia Lorca, so I could not be called a fan of his work.
As technology is fast approaching the time when we'll all have our own flying cars and robot servants (even though I thought we were supposed to be there by now) new and interesting tech also avails itself to theatrical productions.
This is not Liza's "Cabaret".
I'll have to admit I'm a sucker for those stories where people find new and wondrous things about themselves and succeed against all odds.
"You gotta have heart!" That's the central conceit of any production of "Damn Yankees".
Village Theatre has a tradition of bringing up new musicals (often ones showcased in their Village Originals Festival) onto the Mainstage.
Sometimes I don't think we in Seattle know how culturally lucky we are.
The Heroes are back! Annex Theatre's favorite band of supers have returned for a prequel to their hit "Alecto: Issue #1" with the uproarious "Team of Heroes: Behind Closed Doors".
Currently up to bat at Seattle Public Theater we have a spotlight on one of the most recent scandals to rock America's pastime, steroids, with "Back Back Back" by Itamar Moses.
A show that is largely monologue narration is difficult to pull off at best.
I am the wrong audience for the current show at Seattle Children's Theatre, "Help".
What constitutes a Broadway Diva? A Broadway star who's endured the test of time with iconic roles that remain in the minds of fans forever.
It's hard to tell from the outset if David Hare's play, "The Blue Room", adapted from Arthur Schnitzler's "La Ronde", dislikes women more or men as the men all seem to be pricks and women all seem to be playthings for the men.
There are certain givens in Seattle.
Currently up to bat at Seattle Public Theater we have a spotlight on one of the most recent scandals to rock America's pastime, steroids, with "Back Back Back" by Itamar Moses.
