Greenstage at Volunteer Park

Great fun performance! I'm amazed at what they can do in a park. Alex and Kate Kraay were fantastic as were everyone else in the production.

The Yellow Wood
Sunday August 1
Contemporary Classics
Great show about kid with ADD that decides not to take his Ritalin for a day. Amazing talent, some beautiful songs, the book could use a little tightening.

Kindred Spirits - ReAct
Saturday July 31
Cute show. Writing was good, acting was ok, directing was ok. Interesting concept of us having Kindred Spirits that follow us around.

Romeo and Juliet - Greenstage
Opening night - sometime in June
Loved the show. It's edited down to fit into two hours. Very well done.

Candide
Fifth Avenue Theatre
Not being a fan of operetta, and not knowing a thing about the show, it must bode well that I really liked this show, probably one of my favorite, locally produced, shows at the 5th Avenue Theatre. (I'm not counting Sunday in the Park with George as I see that as the Menier Chocolate Factory production even though it had a local cast.) I especially liked the "less is more" approach to directing, which shows Mr. Armstrong directing can be focused on the acting when not distracted by huge sets and lavish costumes.

Fiddler on the Roof
at the Paramount
Starring Harvey Fierstein
I really wanted to love this show. I choreographed and was in it years ago, and the only productions I have seen have been community theatre productions. I have always liked it, and had high hopes to finally get to see a professional production. Harvey was fantastic. He's the reason we forked over the money to see the show. I just felt the rest of the cast was not up to his level. Scenes that should have been enthralling were interesting at best. "To Life" lacked energy and excitement.

Follies / Showtunes at the Moore
Sunday June 6
I had always wanted to see this show. This was a concert version, and it really made me want to see a full production. It was definitely a who's who of Seattle Theatre. Bobbi Kotula continues to blow my mind - her rendition of I'm Still Here was spectacular.
