Review: COME FROM AWAY at The Seattle Rep
by Jay Irwin - December 04, 2025
Dear Readers, back in 2015 we were blessed with the masterpiece that is “Come From Away” by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. It had one of its pre-broadway tryouts at The Seattle Rep and was a huge hit and personally, absolutely wrecked me emotionally. Now 10 years later this brilliant show is back at the Rep but with a local production as opposed to the Broadway or touring staging. And while the show still wrecked me and made me leave with a soaked handkerchief, there were some elements that gave me pause. We’ll get to those.

Review: ANYTHING GOES at Reboot Theater
by Amelia Divine - November 10, 2025
Cole Porter’s gold standard musical Anything Goes is a blast from the past, but Reboot Theatre’s Anything Goes blasts audiences directly into the future by putting the entire musical in space. Packed with extraordinary talent, inventive stagecraft, and a genuinely fun spirit, this production is jam-packed with many successful, high-fidelity parts. Unfortunately, the decision to put the entire production in a space frame tale muddies the performance more than enhances it.

Review: THE HUMANS at Sound Theatre Company
by Amelia Divine - November 09, 2025
The Humans might be the perfect show to see in that strange, autumnal window between Halloween and Thanksgiving happening now, walking the line between a haunted house story and a family drama. It’s about the horrors of ordinary life, family gatherings, and how we show up for each other. Sound Theatre Company’s production of Stephen Karam’s Tony Award-winning play, now performing at the Seattle Center, translates this into a well-staged adaptation from the immersive audio, effective set design, and authentic lead performances.

Review: SHUCKED at The Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - November 05, 2025
Dear Readers, I want to talk to you about somewhat under the radar shows, and corn. Not all shows have that name recognition or known songs. Sometimes these new story, original musical gems come along, and they need some of your time and attention. One such show is “Shucked” currently playing at the Paramount. With a subject matter that might make some go “huh?” it could pass you by. Don’t let it!

Review: EULOGY, or HOW TO PLAN YOUR OWN FUNERAL (AND HAVE FUN DOING IT) at 12th Ave Arts
by Amelia Divine - November 02, 2025
At the theater’s entrance, audience members are handed a packet of tissues sealed with a photo of a frowning man in a birthday hat—Brendan Healy. The program looks like a memorial pamphlet, complete with “In Loving Memory of Brendan Healy” printed across the front. The projected backdrop displays the pulpit of an ornate church. A performer shakes hands with audience members and shares his condolences. But that person, we soon learn, is the deceased. It’s his funeral. Brendan Healy takes the stage, ready to deliver his own eulogy.
