Fun Home 5th Avenue Theare, Seattle Through July 30th
When it comes to Broadway-caliber theatre productions, cities like Seattle get what New York is willing to give them. Very often this means local audiences only get a taste of the most mainstream, spectacular efforts the Great White Way has to offer, remaining unexposed to the more challenging and innovative works that do sometimes still happen there. As a result, theatre (particularly musical theatre) is relegated to its niche enclave of dedicated fans along with a wider audience of casual theatre goers who come knowing what to expect. While presenting an enjoyable way to pass a few evening hours this can also bear a disappointing stamp of mediocrity. Fun Home, currently playing at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre, is a happy exception to this trend.
Like Next to Normal before it, Fun Home works to break the preconceived notions of what musical theatre is and can be.

Give it up for Ragtime, a sweeping, ambitious revival that, with the election of Barack Obama, carries added resonance. The musical, an adaptation of E.L. Doctorow's novel about early 20th-century America, is moving, stirring and not to be missed. Real historic figures, like anarchist Emma Goldman, Harry Houdini, Evelyn Nesbit and Booker T. Washington, loom over a narrative that tackles a time of extraordinary social, economic and cultural change. To capture the era's pain and promise, three distinct narratives dovetail: a wealthy Wasp household with Father (Ron Bohmer) and Mother (a beautifully layered Christiane Noll); Tateh, a Jewish immigrant (a splendid Robert Petkoff) feverishly working to make a better life for himself and his young daughter; and a Harlem couple, Sarah (Stephanie Umoh) and musician Coalhouse Walker Jr. (Quentin Earl Darrington), struggling with a troubled love affair. But revolution -- personal...

For New Yorkers, getting stuck in the subway is a familiar scenario. A train halts, an incoherent voice blares over the tinny loudspeaker, and we wait - usually with a slight panic. In Happiness, nine New Yorkers get stuck in the morning rush - but when the train stalls, a more existential moment awaits. Before the ensemble in the Susan Stroman-directed musical can move, they have to recall - and the show will re-enact - a perfect moment in their lives. Take note: This isn't a feel-good funfest; the stakes are high. Guess wrong and like Sisyphus and his rock, you're doomed to repeat the same trip over and over. Those making the journey crisscross class, race and politics: a right-wing radio shock jock (Joanna Gleason), an interior decorator (Ken Page), a high-powered lawyer (Sebastian Arcelus), intermarried interns, (Robert Petkoff...
