Showtunes Theatre Company

Showtunes at The Moore

Showtunes Theatre Company celebrated its Tenth Anniversary, its move to The Moore Theatre, and its new producing association with Seattle Theatre Group (STG) and Broadway Across America (BAA) with a spectacular one-night-only benefit showcase on February 6th, 2010. The concert featured musical selections from its first decade of musicals in concert productions, as well as a sampling of the many possibilities to come; all delivered with verve by some of the very best musical theater performers in the area. Compiled and directed by Martin Charnin, "Music! Music! Music!" featured co-music directors Dwight Beckmeyer and Scott Warrender on dueling grand pianos.

"It was a grand night for singing for the Showtunes Theatre Company of Seattle… With Tony Award-winner Martin Charnin onboard as artistic director and Maggie Stenson Pehrson as executive producer, it is easy to see why Showtunes has lasted a decade and looks forward to celebrating several more." Eric Andrews-Katz, Seattle Gay News

"And for those of you that missed this concert last Saturday, well all I can say is, "It sucks to be you!" Showtunes, as they always do, presented a musical theater lover's paradise. But even more so than usual. Featuring some of the best performers that Seattle has to offer, they left me (and many others I could see and hear) walking out with a smile on their face, a spring in their step, and humming a tune all the way down the street… And I have to say, I think Showtunes is a welcome addition to the Seattle theater scene and I hope more people take the time to check them out. You're sure to have a great time." Jay Irwin, BroadwayWorld.com

"Follies remains one of the sure-fire argument starters in the musical theater," read the original recording's liner notes. "The show smudges the lines between reality and theater...challenging an audience to abandon its illusions, not just about the theater, but life itself." Newsweek said "It's a brilliant show, wonderfully entertaining, extraordinarily intelligent with a stunning direct appeal...Sondheim must be credited with as brilliant a burst of creativity as American theater has seen in a long time." Filled with favorites like "Broadway Baby", "Losing My Mind", and "I'm Still Here", musical comedy doesn't get any better, and as cults go, this isn't a bad one to join. We've all had the experience of leaving a performance of a play so powerful that we can't quite adjust, once it ends. Come see Showtunes' concert production and experience the wonder of 1970's "Follies."

Also This Season... Showtunes and STG are part of "Seattle Celebrates Bernstein!"
