‘Chicago’ plays through June 29 at the Francis J. Gaudette Theatre, 303 Front Street N, Issaquah. Tickets available now ($24-63) at the Village Theatre Box Office or online at www.villagetheatre.org/issaquah/tickets.php
this production – directed by Steve Tompkins and featuring additional choreography by Kristin Holland – embraces the over-indulgence of the Roaring ‘20s on all levels – including the acting. This idea is best characterized in Taryn Darr’s Roxie Hart and Timothy McCuen Piggee’s Billy Flynn. In every sense of the word, Darr’s Roxie is more: more ditzy, more sassy, more flashy. And for the most part it is great entertainment. Piggee’s turn as Flynn, the slicktongued lawyer whose main loves are money and women, follows suit.
PUBLIC NOTICES NW Newport Way, LLC, 2123 Yacht Radiant, Newport Beach, CA is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, Pickering Hills, is located at 910 11th Place West, Issaquah, in King County, WA.

surable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173-201A-320. Comments can be submitted to: Department of Ecology Attn: Water Quality Program, Construction Stormwater P.O.

Already known as two of the flashiest numbers of the show, Piggee’s vocal bombast and showmanship bring “Razzle Dazzle” and “All I Care About Is Love” to the next level, a performance only made larger by the glittery ensemble. And then there’s Ryan P. McCabe as Mary Sunshine and Shaunyce Omar as Matron Mama Morton – scene stealers every time they take the stage. The thing about “Chicago” is that as long as you stick to the general script, you’re safe. People don’t want surprises with this one. They want the glitz and glamour they’ve come to know and love. Thankfully, Village Theatre delivers all that jazz – and just the right amount of a little bit more. Reporter Keegan Prosser can be reached at 425-453-4602 or kprosser@ soundpublishing.com

There’s a certain level of expectation that comes with putting on a musical that’s already established itself around the world. Especially if said musical currently stands as the second longest running production on Broadway. And if the stage version has called on some of the biggest and best names in show Keegan Prosser biz to fill it’s roles. Even more so, if it was made in to an Oscar-award winning movie. Those expectations seemed to reach new heights on Thursday, May 9, when the Village Theatre opened its last production for the 2012-1013 season, “Chicago.” Originally adapted into a musical by John Kander, Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, “Chicago” tells the story of femme fatales Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart as they navigate the corrupt justice system in prohibitionera Chicago. The result? Sassy ladies, fast-talking fellas and lots of laughs. If you’ve ever seen “Chicago” on Broadway, you’ll notice the stripped down approach of its production. Broadway’s “Chicago” relies heavily on the performers to provide the pizazz in the show. The stage is simple, the costumes lean on the simpler side – black on black on black – and the focus is the music. But keeping it simple is not the mantra for this production. While the plot remains the same, and the musical numbers remain at the forefront, Village Theatre’s production more closely follows the tradition of Rob Marshall’s big screen adaptation – and adds lots more aesthetic pizazz: bedazzled dresses, feathers and lots of color. In addition to flashy costumes,
