TVBR: Another op'nin, another show

Lots to choose from this weekend in the local musical theatre department...let's get started!

The Secret Garden
Driftwood Players
Wade James Theatre, Edmonds
September 11 - October 4

I may be slightly biased since I'm in this show, but it's lovely. Beautiful songs, two amazing children, a tragic love story with an uplifting finale...they're all here. We opened last weekend and the show runs through October 4th. Contact me or become a fan of the show on Facebook to get the friends and family discount code!

The Producers
Seattle Musical Theatre
Building 47, Magnuson Park
September 18 - October 4

One of my favorite things about SMT is that they provide study guides for their shows. These guides move beyond mere entertainment and encourage audience members to think about the larger societal issues that are being examined through the lens of musical theatre. The trivia, history and suggested activities for further study are sure to enhance your enjoyment of this hilarious musical satire.

Chasing Nicolette
Village Theatre
Francis J. Gaudette Theatre, Issaquah
September 17 - October 25


Village Theatre has done a great job preparing the audience for this new musical, providing a production preview guide (available as a Word document, visit the show page for access) that contains the plot synopsis and content. You can also find a few song samples on the show page.

Spotlight Night: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and White Christmas
5th Avenue Theatre
1308 5th Avenue, Downtown Seattle
September 20th - 3:00 pm

Spotlight Night events, free to the public, are an informative look behind the scenes of musical theatre productions and a great way to get a taste of upcoming performances (oh, and did I mention they're FREE?). This Sunday's performance will showcase Joseph, which opens October 10th, and the holiday favorite White Christmas which opens November 28th.
