For Seattle People
The local community theater that we are a part of is doing the west coat premiere of Illyria, a genderbending musical based on 12th night. It's really good, and a lot of fun. L thinks it's the best show they've done in a while. (Even though we're a podunk community theater, the musicals really pull in a lot of talent from the Seattle theater crowd, particularly as this show is having its west coast premiere.)

Tickets are $15-$20, and here is the promotional info. Come out and enjoy the show!

This musical re-telling of Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s greatest comedy, captures both the rollicking energy of the play’s hilarious hijinks and its deeply felt emotions of loss and unrequited love.

"This high-spirited, utterly engaging musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is an intergenerational winner that deserves an unequivocal thumbs-up. Peter Mills and Cara Reichel, who adapted the show, have managed to do the near impossible. They have taken Shakespeare’s comic masterpiece, kept its Elizabethan spirit, voice and wit, yet created a new, accessible work that brashly and, at times, poignantly speaks to contemporary musical theater."
