Review: FREAK THE MIGHTY at The Seattle Rep

Review: FREAK THE MIGHTY at The Seattle Rep

by Jay Irwin · August 6, 2026

Dear Readers, shows about overcoming adversity are not a new thing. It’s pretty much a staple of many storylines. But what has been coming up more and more are the shows about overcoming a physical adversity. Of course there’s one of my favorites, “Hairspray” dealing with racism and body …

Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Paramount Theatre

Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Paramount Theatre

by Amelia Divine · July 23, 2026

Alicia Keys can write the hell out of a song. Her catalog has been the soundtrack to heartbreaks and first loves for more than two decades. Hell's Kitchen, the Grammy winner's semi-autobiographical musical now at the Paramount Theatre, is a welcome reminder of just how singular her music really is. …

Review: AS YOU LIKE IT by Dacha Theatre

Review: AS YOU LIKE IT by Dacha Theatre

by Amelia Divine · July 22, 2026

William Shakespeare’s work, undoubtedly, is an acquired taste. Shakespeare’s poetry of language can turn people off (the Elizabethan language can be hard to follow).  Would you believe me if I told you that one way to make his work more approachable is by folding in layers of randomness and cha…

Review: JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Taproot Theatre

Review: JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Taproot Theatre

by Amelia Divine · July 20, 2026

When I think of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, I don't think of camp. It's content and presentation are really earnest. But the Taproot Theatre’s latest production leans into ‘camp’ in every sense of the word. Set in a children’s summer camp talent show…

Review: FRIDA...A SELF-PORTRAIT at Union Arts Center

by Amelia Divine · June 13, 2026

One-person productions are typically autobiographical: the performer teaches the audience about themself, as themself. But this seemingly “direct” approach is often not actually revealing, where an artist performs a ritualized series of autobiographical anecdotes that fit into the form’s genre…

Review: BLUE MAN GROUP at The Paramount Theatre

Review: BLUE MAN GROUP at The Paramount Theatre

by Shelley Dean · June 2, 2026

There’s a reason Blue Man Group has been beloved for nearly 40 years: their show is pure fun. Packed with electrifying percussion performances, inventive visual storytelling, and laugh-out-loud-worthy comedy, the group's North American tour continues to delight audiences, and their stop at The Par…

Review: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at Paramount Theatre

by Shelley Dean · May 18, 2026

It’s almost unbelievable for me to admit that this was my first time seeing The Phantom of the Opera. Of course, I knew the iconic songs and had seen countless clips over the years, but experiencing the production live on stage for the first time was entirely different, haunting, and spine-chillin…
