Review: SCRAMBLING THE GOOSE at Washington Ensemble Theatre


by Jay Irwin - April 12, 2024

When you go to the theater, Dear Readers, you sit in silence and enjoy the show. You may laugh, or cry, or gasp, but for the most part, you keep yourself to yourself. (At least I hope you do.) But every now and again, shows may ask something of you. Maybe a call back like in “Rocky Horror” or voting...

Review: BEETLEJUICE at The Paramount Theatre


by Jay Irwin - April 03, 2024

Dear Readers, warning, I’m about to be a bit of a snob here. I know, big surprise. But I’m not the biggest fan of the musical, “Beetlejuice”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre. I wasn’t a fan when I first heard the cast recording and now having seen it, I can’t say my opinion has changed al...

Review: HOW TO WRITE A NEW BOOK FOR THE BIBLE at Taproot Theatre

Review: THE MOORS at Seattle Public Theater


by Jay Irwin - March 23, 2024

We’ve had a recent spate of the murderous, dark comedies, Dear Reader. First there was “Blood Countess” from MAP Theatre and then the 5th Avenue gave us “Something’s Afoot” and is soon to give us “Clue”. And now Seattle Public Theater has joined in with Jen Silverman’s “The Moors”. And like the othe...

Review: STEW at ACT Theatre


by Jay Irwin - March 22, 2024

I like to think, Dear Reader, that I don’t need to have the meaning/plot/message of a show spoon fed to me. But sometimes, as with Zora Howard’s “Stew” currently playing at ACT, I could use a bit of clarity. I’m not saying the show was completely confusing, not by a long shot, just a few elements in...

Review: THE FANTASTICKS at Village Theatre


by Jay Irwin - March 16, 2024

Pop quiz, Dear Readers. What is the world’s longest running musical? No, it’s not “Phantom”, that’s the longest running Broadway musical. But if we include Off-Broadway we get the longest run of 42 years and 17,162 performances with Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt’s “The Fantasticks”. And while the cur...
