Review: HADESTOWN at The Paramount Theatre
I know what you’re thinking, Dear Readers.
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Seattle.
I know what you’re thinking, Dear Readers.
The Seattle Rep is certainly known for bringing in some rare gems over the years.
Dear Readers, I firmly believe that the smaller theaters in the area can accomplish anything that the bigger budget theaters can.
What did our critic think of ALCINA It’s worth going to see for the glorious music and courageous, proficient singing
Dear Readers, last night I discovered at “Cambodian Rock Band”, the latest collaboration of ACT and the 5th Avenue Theatre, that I am officially a cranky old man.
Dear Readers, it struck me last night, while watching The Can Can’s current production of “The Hitchcock Hotel” of the intersection of horror, humor and sex.
While watching the opening routine in “Passengers”, currently playing at the Seattle Rep, I found myself seeing a move I knew.
Author Ken Ludwig has certainly had a prolific career filled with some wonderful gems, “Crazy for You”, “Lend Me a Tenor”, and “Moon Over Buffalo” to name just a few.
In these tumultuous theatrical times, it’s of little surprise that The 5th Avenue Theatre would head back under the sea with a remount of “Disney’s The Little Mermaid”.
Dear Readers, I’m thrilled to say that my opinion of “Tina, The Tina Turner Musical”, currently playing at the Paramount, has changed.
DANCING AT LUGHNASA at SecondStory Repertory is a glimpse into the past and a way of life that has disappeared.
The outstanding cast and provocative production, merged with Wagner’s indisputably monumental music and drama, made this Rheingold a de rigueur happening
GreenStage brings the classic tale of ROMEO & JULIET to life with wit and charm and heaps of teenage angst.
The Can Can has never been one to shy away from sexual boundaries.
How do you know when a show is really, really good? Often it is something beyond the story, the performance, and the staging that takes you to a place that can only be described as magic.
Dear Readers, The Queens have arrived at the Paramount with the North American Tour of “Six” and attention must be paid to these divas.
One thing that can be said about Book-It Repertory Theatre, Dear Readers, is that they know how to surprise and thrill.
This was a hugely demanding program, and Morlot and his musicians together produced an awe-inspiring accomplishment.
In the musical theater world, there are classics and then there are Classics (with the big “C”).
UNNECESSARY FARCE at the Driftwood Theatre is a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled, high-octane laugh-fest.
I’ve seen many productions of “Les Misérables” over the years, Dear Readers.
Yowza indeed! JEEVES TAKES A BOW at Taproot Theatre launched into opening night full throttle on the comedy pedal.
Dear Readers, just as theater professionals have unique ways of communicating a story, so too do children have their own ways of communicating their issues, especially when traumatized.
He’s a Seattle favorite.
TWELFTH NIGHT at Seattle Shakespeare is loaded with music, mischief, and magic.
