(OUTscene NW) CLASSIC: Broadway RE-view of 'Priscilla' Musical currently at Seattle's Paramount!

by MK Scott

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert the Musical was in Seattle this week. I however did not see the tour, but I can re-post the review of the Broadway show in August 2011.

During this NY trip I was mostly anticipating seeing the Priscilla Queen of the Desert musical, not because I am a big fan of the movie but to see a glimpse of the gorgeous, Nick Adams (See Interview), Tony nominee, Tony Sheldon, and the Handsome, Will Swenson. The story is so campy and the music was familiar, and is by far the Gayest show to ever hit Broadway!

(OUTscene NW) PRE-view: Seattle Men’s Chorus (W/ Leslie Jordan) Performs 'Dancing Queen'



SEATTLE, WA – The disco ball will spin in high gear when Seattle Men’s Chorus (SMC) pulls out all the stops for their highly anticipated Spring Concert, Dancing Queen: The Music of ABBA. Bell bottoms, glitter, capes, and thigh-high white pleather boots abound. This show has it all, including the hilariously diminutive Emmy Award-winning actor/comedian Leslie Jordan. He will add to the music with his fun side-splitting tales and poignant musings from his latest autobiographical play, Fruit Fly. This comedy-music mash up will include ABBA hits like “Waterloo,” “Fernando,” “Take a Chance on Me” and, of course, “Dancing Queen;” as well as a few lesser known gems. So sit back in your plunging neckline cat suit and platform shoes for a trip back to the 70s with 250+ singers from SMC, their beloved eight man ensemble Captain Smartypants, and one very special guest, Leslie Jordan.

Tickets to McCaw Hall Seattle performances are available at www.SeattleMensChorus.org
or over the phone at (206) 388-1400.

(OUTscene NW) PRE-view: The Continuous Thread at Mind Unwind‏ in West Seattle!!

Inspired by using “thread” in a double entente of meaning, the first literal interpretation of “thread” involves textiles and fashion, a second, less obvious interpretation incorporates the “thread” of thoughts that develop during storytelling, an ancient form of communication. The continuum began with curator, Pam Cooper, based in New York and followed a communication thread across the U.S. to Seattle in collaboration with Mind Unwind’s curator, Krystal Kelley. Cooper and Kelley are presenting “The Continuous Thread,” which features these 6 artists: (3 from NYC and 3 from Seattle).

Marion Behr, drawing with pen on paper just letting the thoughts flow, mulling over the events of the day. Robroy Chalmers re purposes dark dense prints and drawings referencing his recent move across the USA, making them fly and lightly swirl around the room. Marcia Widenor’s knitted paper clothing charges the viewer to wonder about the stories that inspired the fabrication of these beautiful objects. Aileen Bassis asks viewers to draw places from the past on note cards, ‘Memory Maps’. Thinking about the nature of memory and how this has fascinated people throughout time she decided to use quotes from different philosophers, along with the photographs taken at the time, to document their experience of memory. Anna Hurwitz uses her collection of Barbie Dolls in an installation called “Stitch ‘n Bitch”. Jewelry designer, Blythe Carling is weaving her thread with metal and stones and will have pieces on exhibit and for sale.
