Village Theatre Devises a Better “Mousetrap”

Philippa Kiraly — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 23:27:37 +0000

A young couple has embarked on running a guest house, and their first four guests arrive, followed by a fifth who has been stranded by the blizzard raging outside. Marooned by the snow, they hear on the radio of a nasty murder in London and get a call from the police who are sending them help as it is thought the murderer will be heading their way.

The Producers (now through July 1 at the Gaudette Theatre in Issaquah and July 6-29 at the Everett Performing Arts Center) is well-cast with terrific performances, and may very well be the best show I’ve seen at The Village.

The Village Theatre's new musical, It Shoulda Been You, tells the story of the wedding of a nice Jewish girl to a nice, sweater-tied-around-the neck Catholic boy, and their families who don't want them to get married. While the production is enjoyable and has good musical moments and performances, it can't quite escape the stereotype gravity that surrounds it. Oy.

Until now, my exposure to the Odd Couple franchise was limited to the TV show from the early '70s, and, as someone who is sort of, um, tidy, I always identified with Felix. But at this production, I found myself surprisingly identifying with Oscar. Or at the very least I was Oscar-curious.

What’s the Buzz? Jesus Christ Superstar at the Village Theatre

A bit late for Easter but worth seeing nevertheless is the Village Theatre’s production of the rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, Jesus Christ Superstar (at the Gaudette Theatre in Issaquah through July 3, and at Everett Performing Arts Center July 8 – 31). With pyrotechnic vocals and contemporary staging, this show is yet another great example of how the Village continues to produce strong musical theatre productions that hold up against those of some of the bigger theaters.
