Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Paramount Theatre
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
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
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: XIAN CONDUCTS BEETHOVEN 9 at Benaroya Hall
Xian’s performance was a joyful representation of Schiller’s text, ending the rousing evening with an affirmation of much-needed hope for us all. The performance was transcendent in every way.…
Review: FRIDA...A SELF-PORTRAIT at Union Arts Center
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
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: WE AIN’T EVER GONNA BREAK UP: THE HYMON AND PARFUNKEL MUSICAL at Village Theatre
Dear Readers, the bio-musical is a tricky thing. Some love them, some hate them. For me, it all depends on if you have an affinity for the music of the subjects, plus it needs a strong book. And then there’s the current show from Village Theatre, “We Ain’t Ever Gonna Break Up: The Hymon and Pa…
Review: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at Paramount Theatre
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…
Review: CARMEN at McCaw Hall
The production, with its flamboyantly portrayed characters and colorful background, fulfilled the most crowd-pleasing elements of the work…
Review: APPROPRIATE at The Seattle Rep
Dear Readers, why do we like shows about dysfunctional families? I posit that it’s one of two reasons. Either we are reveling in knowing that your family isn’t that bad or watching as more of a catharsis of seeing a family like yours get through their dysfunction. Playwright Branden Jacobs-Je…
