High Praise for Follies “The recent June staging of Follies at the Moore welcomed Showtunes to its new downtown venue and set the bar high for future Showtunes/Charnin stagings… Show-stopping moments were provided by Seattle performers with strong reputations. The musical direction, by Mark Rabe, was a strong element of the show's success. Victor Pappas' on-target direction was also a first class plus. After some rocky years, Showtunes seems destined for continued - and downtown - success.”

“Showtunes Theatre Company presented their first concert production in their new home at Seattle's Moore Theatre with the seldom produced, "Follies" from Stephen Sondheim. But then, that's what Showtunes does and does well. Take musical theater gems that for one reason or another don't see as much action as they should, and put on wonderful staged concerts of them. And their outing with "Follies" was no exception. Showtunes is here and is ready to give us all that's best in Musical Theater.” Jay Irwin, BroadwayWorld.com When a company like Showtunes, with this abundance of talent and theatrical experience, brings to the stage a work of such mature, authentic, intimate drama it really reinforces how Sondheim raised the bar for all musical theatre to follow, and how deep the local talent pool is. It should also be a clear reminder for anyone who cares about the musical stage that Showtunes' next production, whatever it is, should not be missed.” Jerry
