A conversation with Seattle
Though it’s known as Alfred Hitchcock’s 3D movie, almost no one got the chance to see it that way; people had gone off 3D by the time Dial M for Murder hit theaters, so most people saw it in 2D, just like you can on Netflix.

Continue reading Who Out There is Not Watching The Mindy Project?
Seattle Opera’s production of Puccini’s La Bohème feels like coming home. Even if you’ve never seen Bohème before, you’ll feel warm, welcome, and aware of life’s fragile beauty afterward — not just because of Puccini’s glorious score, but because of Seattle Opera’s treatment of it. Continue reading A “La Bohème” at the Seattle Opera That’s to Die For
