THE ADDAMS FAMILY 5TH AVENUE THEATRE October 24 – November 11 Douglas Sills is a man of many talents. Aside from scoring 99% recently on the Law School Admission Test, he is an accomplished actor, having appeared in several Broadway casts and touring companies. As the newly revised musical The Addams Family creeps into Seattle just in time for Halloween, SGN caught up with the versatile actor.

Andrews-Katz: Who were your earliest influences in becoming a performer?

Sills: They were probably Robert Preston (in The Music

Man), Rex Harrison (in My Fair Lady), and Bette Midler. I remember my sisters listening to Bette Midler’s “Bugle Boy.” They all had this tremendous stash of panache.

Andrews-Katz: After doing several national touring companies you were going to give up the stage to become a lawyer.

Do you still have any desire to go into law?

Sills: I think many actors are curious people by nature, and I’m curious, and so I’m always interested in new things. In that way, yes, I think law is a fascinating thing. But I had the experience of sort of having to take over the family business, which see sills page 29

‘That’s my life!’

Wicked is an allegory of being Gay in America Joan Marcus

Patti Murin (l) and Dee Roscioli in Wicked

by Milton W. Hamlin SGN A&E Writer WICKED PARAMOUNT THEATRE Through November 17 The Tony Award-winning Wicked made a triumphant return to Seattle last week, the latest in a long list of Emerald City touring editions of the long-running Broadway musical. As the story of Oz “before Dorothy and Toto blew in” unfolded at the beautifully restored Paramount Theatre, Seattle musical fans were salivating at the arrival

of the campy, touching, over-the-top extravaganza that is Wicked.

Amazingly, the show opened on Broadway more than a decade ago after a very troubled start in San Francisco. Based on the award-winning novel that told the back-story of the Wicked Witch of the West (immortally portrayed by Margaret Hamilton in the 1939 MGM film) and Glinda the Good (Billie Burke at her iconic best).

Those characters were, of course, originally created by L. Frank Baum in his novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz more than 100 years ago.

Wicked opened on Broadway to strong, but not glowing reviews. Composer Stephen Schwartz had had incredible early success with Godspell, Pippin, and, strangely, The Magic Show (which was exactly what its title suggested). Just out of college, he briefly became the undisputed king of Broadway musicals on the strength of those three consecutive hits. Then came years and years, which turned into decades, of artistic and theatrical flops. Seattle musical theater fans know this fallow period best through local stagings of his totally unnecessary musicalization of It’s a Wonderful Life. A pint-sized Zuzu, singing her heart out over some flower petals, failed to turn the classic Jimmy Stewart film into another Annie.

Then came Wicked.

A CAREER REBORN After a strong but not spectacular start in the city that never sleeps, something truly legendary happened. Box office sales went from strong to stronger to, incredibly, weeks and weeks, then months and months, then years and years, of total sell-out cheering crowds. “Tween” girls in particular were spellbound by the tale of two strangers at a school for witches who hated each other at first sight, then bonded and became “sisters.” One was green – a nice girl, shunned by her family and classmates, who became the Wicked Witch of the West. The other – blonde, perky, and ever-so-“Popular” (incidentally the best song in the overly long score) – was and remained Glinda the Good.

Bankrolled by affluent parents who virtually genuflected to a Broadway show that was family-friendly (no swearing, nudity, sex, or drugs), these girls embraced the two witches-in-training and ticket sales went through the roof. Saturday and Sunday matinees were sold out years in advance. Parents often bought 30 or 40 high-cost tickets

years early in anticipation of 12th birthday parties, bat mitzvahs, and Sweet 16 outings.

Composer Schwartz was king of the Broadway world once again.

New York’s highly visible and incredibly influential Gay audience also embraced the show, the tale of an outcast who suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune – leading many to exclaim, “That’s my life!”

If ever a mainstream Broadway musical could be termed an allegory for the LGBTQ experience, Wicked is that show.

THIS VERSION A MUST-SEE The touring edition of Wicked is First Class, as only Broadway hits can be so capitalized, in every way. Impeccable casting, detailed replication of the award-winning Broadway sets, costumes, lighting, orchestrations, sound design, and the high-energy staging make this Seattle visitor a must-see for theater fans of all ages. SGN’s three-person “dream team” included one guest who had never seen a professional staging of a hit Broadway musical. The glitz and glitter factor alone made him a musical theater convert on the spot.

To be truthful, the actual script and score of Wicked rank as a highly derivative twoout-of-five on the Broadway Greatest Hits scale. But factor in five-out-of-five for staging, direction, casting, tech work, timing, impact, orchestration, musicianship, etc., and the show averages out at 4.9999. One word from SGN (and this scribe): Go! While earlier touring editions often were completely sold out before opening night in Seattle, good seating for many performances was still available at SGN’s print deadline. Wicked’s opening night hosted a cheering, shouting, stomping, highly pleased crowd, but nowhere near a sellout. Check ticket availability by phone at 1-877-STG4TIX or online at www.stgpresents.org.

Murder for breakfast Café Nordo’s latest culinary adventure is inventive but long

by Miryam Gordon SGN A&E Writer SOMETHIN’ BURNING CAFÉ NORDO (AT THEATRE OFF JACKSON) Through November 18 Café Nordo offers a unique presentation: a theatrical event completely entwined with eating. Each presentation the company has made over the last three years has been focused on an aspect of food education. The team includes scriptwriter Terry Podgorski,

(Wodka vodka muddled with cucumbers topped with soda) and the “Bloody Caesar” (house-made Clamato and Wodka vodka).

The food is also unique, and for those with limited palates it might be a challenge, but hey, it’s just one evening – you can try it! Their “coffee and donuts” is actually mashed potatoes and chives, shaped into a fried ring with a coffee cup of gravy for dipping. Lots of fun! Their version of a parfait is Snake River Wagyu beef borscht layered with golden beet borscht puree and horseradish sour cream, served warm – much

They apparently alternate between beverage-oriented shows and full dining experiences. The latest offering, Somethin’ Burning, is a cocktail-infused evening with typically ingenious offerings. While nonalcoholic alternatives are offered (some for an extra fee), nondrinkers will miss out on some of the special concoctions of the evening, like the “Cherry Pie Mimosa” (bourbon-soaked cherries floating in Cava).

Others include the “Cucumber Collins”

more of a challenge, but very interesting and fun to look at. And there’s more.

The evening is wound tightly around a murder mystery. Apparently someone has murdered Café Nordo’s Chef Nordo Lefesczki, who is spoken of as a not-very-niceman, so it’s not such an outlandish idea that someone would want to kill him. The suspects are Angelica (Opal Peachey), whose father recently also died in a suspicious incident; Michael (Max Davis), a hustler hooked up with Angelica; and Delores (Keira McDonald), Nordo’s ex-wife. Agent Penn (Evan Mosher, who doubles as the trumpet player) has to get to the bottom of it, and all three stories are inevitably different.

(l to r) Evan Mosher, Max Davis, M.J. Sieber, and Devin Bannon in Somethin’ Burning

FOOD FOR THOUGHT Noah Benezra and M.J. Sieber are two trucker types who are given a tenuous connection to the storyline, but are the conduit for most of the food-education aspect, this time focused on fast food and the history of how our country, and maybe our world, is moving away from real, healthful foods and becoming dependent on speed, sameness, and questionable ingredients.

While the whole Nordo concept is fun and interesting, with the possibility of being exposed to a lot of good food-related information, many times they stretch the evening into the realm of exhaustion. If they would just do much the same thing but cut the running time by about a third, they’d still give people a lot to think about without making it an endurance contest. As it was, Some-

thin’ Burning made its points fairly early, and then just kept on talking. By the fourth “course,” some audience members were becoming visibly anxious to applaud and leave. Even the insertion of excellent songs (mostly sung by the talented Devin Bannon) just prolonged the evening’s deterioration.

The actors are all intent and capable, the characterizations are enjoyable, and the story is fun – until it just isn’t anymore. Let’s raise a glass to the concept and to next time making the event just two hours long.

(Alexander Samuels), the shop’s neighbor, covets the space to enlarge his own business. The neighborhood is run down, full of empty pockets. The proprietor, Arthur (a world-weary, battered Kevin McKeon), sometimes doesn’t even bother to open up shop.

The local cops (Jena Cane, Troy Allen Johnson) know their beat and even get coffee at the shop. Cane’s character has a bit of a crush on Arthur, who barely registers anyone’s concern.

Then, Franco bursts in and wakes the joint up with verbal patter and a joy that is palpable. Charles Norris endears himself to the audience as well, energizing the play and putting the story in motion. He’s looking to get hired, apparently by putting down the whole concept of a donut shop, but there is something that causes Arthur to give him a try. Their relationship – first rocky, then bonding – drives the rest of the evening, as they get to know one another and Franco teases Arthur out of his self-absorbed funk.

SUPERIOR DONUTS SEATTLE PUBLIC THEATER Through October 21 A sweet gem is running at Seattle Public Theater. Superior Donuts is by playwright Tracy Letts, who got great notice for the sprawling work he wrote the year before this (2007), August: Osage County. In contrast, this play is a quiet piece, almost contemplative – wistful and wry, with heartfelt struggle but also hope.

The look of the play is rundown, so initially it kind of looks and feels like a “small” play concept, an intimate but unprepossessing evening. Slowly, you realize that the set of a small rundown donut shop, designed by Craig Wollam, has to be exactly that way – with the automatic coffee machine that looks like it shouldn’t work due to being so banged up, the first looks of the shop which has just been damaged in a looting spree, and the feeling that it’s been NOT ALL SWEETNESS AND LIGHT sitting in the theater neglected for years.

There is a subplot of danger, with Franco, As the door to the shop opens, the whistling cold sounds of snowy Chicago push a part-time hustler, having gotten into deep in (courtesy Jay Weinland), and the play water with a local loan shark (Gordon Carbegins to pick up life. We learn that Max penter). So, the play is not all fun and teas-

ing zingers. We know there is little likelihood that Franco will be able to pay him, and we are not sure how it will resolve. This creates some tension in the play. The subplot’s resolution is unique and quirky.

Russ Banham, who directs this tight ensemble, helps everyone hit the right notes here. This is a well-directed production.

McKeon and Norris play beautifully off one another, McKeon’s burdens and Vietnam-vet memories revealed in outside-oftime monologues to the audience – giving us some insight into him that Franco is not privy to. The fact that his wife had recently died also grounds this character in grief

and submission. Norris’s energy as the fasttalking, I-have-a-dream Franco is a marked contrast and a lot of fun to watch.

This is a great play for the intimate Bathhouse, and Seattle Public should be proud of its presentation. It’ll stick to your ribs for quite a while as you digest its meaning.

The first time, I walked in and sang a Frank Wildhorn song that my partner had suggested, called “Someone Like You.” I didn’t know it was a song for a woman, and I sang it for Frank.

He said, “I never heard a man sing that before,” and I felt kind of stupid, but Frank said he liked it and that was sort of how it went. The next song I sang for them was from the show and it was “Into the Fire.”

Other songs were written for me once we started rehearsals.

I wasn’t thinking of past actors other than remembering John Astin had this wonderful joie de vivre when he portrayed this character. I felt comfortable in summoning that part. One of the requirements for doing the characters was not using anything from either the TV or the movies – they used only the single-cell drawings from the original. While I have great respect for the prior incarnations of Gomez, I didn’t feel hamstrung [by] them. We were so busy doing our own thing and it was important to the creators. It was clear to me they wanted something fresh and new that had its own voice.

Andrews-Katz: What is the relevance of The Addams Family today?

Sills: I think that the readers [of SGN] might find a different relationship with the Addams Family. They are “other” than the norm. To some degree they know they are different, and in some degrees they don’t.

More importantly, they don’t care. I think they can be read as an interesting metaphor for the GLBT movement and change in these interesting times.

Andrews-Katz: Regardless of gender, what role would you love to play on stage?

Sills: Mama Rose (in Gypsy) – the reasons are obvious. I think Rose and Lady Macbeth, and maybe Mary Tyrone (in Long Day’s Journey Into Night). I think Hedda Gabler would be good, and I’d love to play Effie White (Dreamgirls). That would be fun!

Douglas Sills made his Broadway premiere in the title role of The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1997, winning a Tony nomination the following year. After successfully touring the country in the role, he returned triumphantly to Broadway in the hit musical Little Shop of Horrors. The Addams Family opened on Broadway in 2010 and ran for 725 performances, garnering two Tony nominations including Best Score (by Andrew Lippa). Receiving mixed reviews, it underwent a reconstruction and has been touring the country since September 2011.

Unflinching Wuthering Heights brings Brontë into the now

Artificial Eye

Kaya Scodelario in Wuthering Heights

by Sara Michelle Fetters SGN A&E Writer WUTHERING HEIGHTS Opens October 19 I’m not sure the world needs a new take on Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. The 1939 version with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon, directed by William Wyler, is universally viewed as a classic, one of the best films of its particular year, and considering said year is widely considered the greatest of all time that’s high praise indeed.

More to the point, it’s one of many adaptations. From cinema to television to theater over the decades numerous versions have come and gone, so mining it would seem every last ounce of Brontë’s text leaving little for newcomers to potentially uncover.

Enter Andrea Arnold, Academy Award winner for her 2003 short film Wasp and the acclaimed auteur behind the 2009 triumph Fish Tank. Co-writing the screenplay with Olivia Hetreed (Girl With a Pearl Earring), her take on the treasured literary hallmark is barren, bleak, and stripped to the emotional bone. It is a visceral affair, devoid of a heavy hand and intent on letting the images and themes of Brontë’s book speak for themselves. For long stretches the film is close to dialogue-free, leaving only the haunting stares of protagonist Heathcliff (Solomon Glave as a boy, James Howson as a young man, both making their debut) and the surreal sounds of the wind sweeping through the Yorkshire highlands to get the majority of its points across.

man’s kindhearted daughter Catherine (fellow newcomer Shannon Beer), is extraordinary. Facing the brutal indifference of her brother Hindley (Lee Shaw) and the suspicion of a townsfolk unnerved by his dark skin and belligerent ways, the connection that somehow develops between him and Catherine is pure and genuine. There is a spark behind their story, an ember to the passion – the pain sent in their direction and the exterior factors combining to keep them apart all the more heartbreaking because of it.

My issues come during the last third when Heathcliff is grown and Catherine (now played by Kaya Scodelario) finds herself wed, unsure if her teenage crush will ever return to be a part of her life. These sequences, dripping with tragedy, feel somewhat disconnected from the events that preceded them. As a result, the eventual outcome doesn’t crackle with the same emotional electricity as the earlier portion.

Things more or less transpire as expected, almost as if Arnold wasn’t as interested in her climax as she was with all the stuff leading up to it.

SPARKING PASSION It is during the passage looking at Heathcliff as a boy that the movie truly excels and becomes something extraordinary. Taking up just over half of the film’s 128-minute running time, this bit with the youngster being taken in out of the rain and cold by devout farmer Mr. Earnshaw (Paul Hilton) and introduced to his family, including the

INTIMATE AUTHENTICITY Be that as it may, I really liked this new version of Wuthering Heights – at times outright adored it. The movie is fantastically well shot by Robbie Ryan (Brick Lane), the acclaimed director of photography creating a Dogma-like authenticity that’s as intimate as it is shocking. From the landscapes to the creases of a person’s smile, all of it matters as far as the story is concerned, the internal intricacies of the human condition revealed in visual layers that more often than not caught me by surprise.

Then there is the sound design. In Arnold’s vision, there is no music (other than a bizarrely placed Mumford & Sons tune sung over the end credits), no audio interference from a world outside of the one depicted here, only the aural symphonies of

the wind, rain, rippling grass, barking dogs, and footsteps tromping through muddy terrain. This is the score that propels the drama forward, the music that brings everything to life, and through this choice Arnold manages to conjure a spell of rapture and regret so melodious there were times I felt I was walking across the rolling Yorkshire hills right along with Heathcliff, Catherine, and the rest.

Is this new Wuthering Heights essential?

Probably not, and I’m not entirely sure romantics who have read every page of the

book a thousand or so times are going to be completely pleased with Arnold’s unflinching, at times modernized (four-letter putdowns are a frequent occurrence), take on the material. But she gets right to the heart of Brontë’s world in a way few others have, allowing for a connection to the characters that held me spellbound. While the world may not need another version of this particular tale, I certainly did – and I have feeling there will be plenty of others out there who, after they have the good fortune to view it, will feel the same way.

arnold

while the second is more straightforward in its handling of the story’s inherent melodrama. This is something the director herself is aware of, and in some ways is still trying to make sense of.

“I think in the second half of the story, that does happen,” says Arnold with a slight twang of disappointment. “I felt a little pushed around by the story in the second half and sometimes that made it difficult to find my voice. But in the first half I was really able to invest myself into the story – I was able to imagine Heathcliff and Catherine’s childhood. I allowed myself to play there and I really enjoyed that, and I think by doing so I was able to give their tragedy a bit more punch in the process.

continued from cover star-crossed friends-turned-lovers Heathcliff and Catherine, in many ways this is the director’s most uncompromising work yet. The filmmaker eschews romantic conventions typical of the property, stripping things to their barest essentials and allowing the tragic elements inherent in Brontë’s prose to speak for themselves.

But this film almost wasn’t to be. Arnold, no fan of adaptations, initially had no interest in coming aboard, preferring instead to focus on original ideas. “The day the press release was sent out saying I was doing [Wuthering Heights] a friend texted me reminding me I’d said I’d never do an adaptation and that I’d never do a period film,” explains the director. “She went on to say that when I did decide to work on an adaptation, a period piece at that, I managed to pick one of the most famous and timeless books of all time.”

“She went on to call me a stupid cow,” she says with a chuckle. “But, in a way, she was probably right. I always say that I don’t pick my films, that they pick me – that I don’t have a choice but to make them, and in this case I think that’s true. [Wuthering Heights]

A SHIFT IN TONE “The second half, when [Heathcliff] comes back, there are a series of events that are full of exposition and I certainly felt the difference between these two halves. I do feel like the melodrama of the story did take over a bit, but in the first half I had more room and was able to allow things to breathe – I wasn’t as beholden to the structural dynamics of the source material. It was interesting for me to work on [a project] that does have a sort of organic story where you do

“[Heathcliff] had this very brutalized childhood ... I realized right away I needed to see things through Heathcliff’s point of view” came practically out of the blue. The other director had just dropped out, and I made this very instinctive decision to go for it. At the time, I didn’t think very much [about] what that would mean or where things would go, I just sort of leapt in.”

A NEW PERSPECTIVE It was in leaping that Arnold was able to find what she felt was a new way into the story. She knew she didn’t want to follow the route of prior adaptations, most notably the 1939 classic with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon. She wanted to strip the prose to its basic elements, going back to the source material in a way she felt others hadn’t.

“I remember after reading the book that I felt Heathcliff was this ruthless, darkly brutal character,” she states. “He had this very brutalized childhood, and I felt like I wanted to explore that, that I could explore that. In a way, that was a mad thing to do, a different way of looking at [the material].”

“When I first arrived there was a script that told things in a very different way. I realized right away I needed to see things through Heathcliff’s point of view – that I needed to find my voice in his, so I went back to the book and wrote a new draft. In doing so I found my own way within it [the story], and I think the producers were happy I was able to do that. Otherwise I doubt they’d have wanted to bring me onboard.”

Among the more interesting aspects of the film are the noticeable shifts in tone – the way the first half, dealing with Heathcliff and Catherine as children, is presented with such raw, emotional verisimilitude

have to hit those points or beats – you can’t not. I did feel pushed around by that a little bit. But I think I still managed to make the story my own, and I don’t think the second half would be as powerful as it is had I not found a new way into the lives of Heathcliff and Catherine during the first half.”

It should also be noted that Arnold’s adaptation isn’t a complete rendering of Brontë’s book, the director choosing to close out her version where Heathcliff and Catherine’s love story reaches its end. “I don’t know how I knew when to end things,” she admits candidly. “For the story we were telling, this just felt like the proper finishing point. Endings are always difficult anyway, and when you’re writing you try numerous versions until you come upon the one that feels best for the material.

“I do actually feel sorry for not including the second half of the book. But a lot of films only seem to deal with the first half of the book because it does sort of have a natural break after Cathy’s death. Television adaptations don’t tend to do that, but then they can do more – they’re not limited by a theatrical running time. But I do feel the book is complete when it climaxes with Heathcliff’s death. It comes full circle, which is satisfying because you do feel like he and Cathy can finally be together at that point.

I felt, though, that wasn’t the story we were telling. We were focused on Heathcliff, and where we close feels real. It feels like an actual end, even if the book does proceed onwards into Heathcliff’s future.”

FRESH NEW FACES Another interesting aspect was that Arnold insisted on casting unknowns to play Heathcliff and Catherine at both stages of their lives – James Howson, Solomon Glave, and Shannon Beer make their debuts, while Kaya Scodelario has only a handful of previous credits (most notably the BBC show Skins) on her resume. All of them, especially Howson and Glave (portraying Heathcliff in his adult and teenage incarnations, respectively), disappear into their roles granting their collective stories a timeless quality that might not have been possible had the actors been well-known commodities.

“I make it a point to cast a mixture of actors and non-actors in all my films,” says the director. “I like doing that. Here, because of the Heights and the Grange being two different places – the Heights being a place where you’re living right next to nature, things are quite visceral and on the edge – I wanted all the people to help give the place its raw feeling. I thought by casting people who had never acted before it would bring about a different feeling, that they’d be forced to respond to the environment we were subjecting them to.

“At the Grange, I felt that this was a more mannered place, a prim and proper sort of environment, so I wanted actors to fill those roles because I needed them to be able to exhibit those traits. I thought that by using properly trained actors for that place would give it the feeling I was going for. But even then, I like to explore, I like to see how actors and non-actors work together to transcend the cinema. In cinema, I want to look at the face and feel whatever it is they are trying to say even if they aren’t saying a word.”

‘I NEVER FEEL HAPPY’ The response to both Wuthering Heights and to her previous features should be gratifying, the acclaim Arnold’s been receiving coming from all corners. One would imagine these accolades would warm the young director’s heart, but in reality her reaction to the kudos couldn’t be more surprising.

“I wish I felt like that,” she admits, “I truly do. I’ve always felt really jealous of directors when they say they are happy with their film. I want to know how they feel like that, what they do to feel like that. I never feel like that. I never feel happy. You always reach for what’s quite clear in your mind and you hope that can achieve it, but that vision is so brittle it ends up getting beaten up a little bit along the way. You end up having some version of it but not the clear version

visuals, sound design is vitally important as far as this adaptation is concerned. There is no score, no musical accompaniment – only the arias of wind whipping through the Yorkshire highlands to counterbalance the emotional fireworks Heathcliff and Catherine are trying to make sense of.

“Early on I always said I want the wind to be the score,” states Arnold. “I wanted it to be its own character in the film. I spent long hours listening to the wind and sometimes it would come through the door, down the chimney, through the trees, and from beneath the floorboards. The rain would pound against the earth and the buildings.

It was part of this world. [The wind] could be bold, it could be gentle, it could be angry, it could be calm – there was just so much variation. It was beautiful, and why would you want anything more?

“I had a really fantastic sound team, and I’m glad you mentioned the sound because they all worked very, very hard. It was a decision I made early on and my team really embraced it. I said I didn’t want anything that sounded like electricity, nothing that sounded modern. I didn’t want anything to sound like the things we hear now. I wanted the world to sound completely different than anything we know here in the present, and this team worked incredibly hard to make this happen. I couldn’t be happier with what it was they were able to achieve.”

Rocco Nacino (l) and Paulo Avelino in The Dance of Two Left Feet

you originally had in your mind. That’s just the nature of things.

“But in answer to your question, no, I don’t feel happy. I wish I did, and I appreciate all the compliments and I’m glad people like my films, but I just don’t feel that way. I always want more, to be able to achieve that vision I had when [the film] was just an image in my mind. I am my own worst critic and I always feel like I fall short – but that’s just me, I guess.”

film fest

continued from cover Cloudburst (Friday, Oct. 19, 7:30 p.m., Pacific Place) Filmmaker Thom Fitzgerald (3 Needles, The Hanging Garden) makes a triumphant return with this moving and thought-provoking drama about an aging Lesbian couple (Olympia Dukakis, Brenda Fricker) who escape from their nursing home and make their way to Canada to get married. Featuring sensational performances from the two Oscar-winning actresses, the movie manages to mine somewhat familiar territory in a way that feels fresh, original, and at times downright daring. As funny as it is emotional, this is one of the can’t-miss films screening at this year’s SLGFF. (3½ stars)

to issues of gender dysphoria, Maya’s journey a soaring testament to the human spirit that’s as enlightening as it is captivating.

(3½ stars) Parts of the Heart (Saturday, Oct. 20, 3 p.m., Central Cinema) This Indonesian import starts great, stalls in the middle, falters towards the end, and then suddenly, out of nowhere, delivers a knockout of a climax. The drama follows Peter, a Gay man living in Jakarta, as he ages from 10 to 40, chronicling his various romantic awakenings, entanglements, enlightenings, and disappointments as he travels through the decades. Cut into eight chapters, the first two are fantastic, while episodes three through seven leave more than a little to be desired. But part eight is downright fantastic, making every moment that came before resonate with far more poignancy than it easily would have otherwise.

(2½ stars)

Chicago Sing-Along (Saturday, Oct. 20, 7 p.m., Central Cinema) Rob Marshall’s Academy Award-winning musical returns for an audience-participation event. The movie itself came in at number five on my own 2002 top 10 (behind Adaptation, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Far From Heaven, and Rabbit-Proof Fence), and looking back I’m still pretty comfortable with that placement. Featuring The Dance of Two Left Feet (Friday, Oct. stellar performances by the majority of its 19, 7:30 p.m., Central Cinema) A visually stimulating drama out of the Philippines, directed with robust sensuality

by Alvin Yapan, this movie may be a contrived and overly simplistic melodrama, but it still packs a mighty emotional punch. Forget about the story and focus on the dancing – everything you need to know about the characters and what they are going through is dynamically specified by the beauteous elegance of human movement. A gem. (3 stars)

all-star cast (although I’d have given the Oscar to Queen Latifah, not Catherine ZetaJones), the movie is a visual knockout befitting the Broadway stalwart that it inspired.

If you haven’t seen this in a theater, by all means do yourself a favor and remedy that by attending this screening. (4 stars) Four (Saturday, Oct. 20, 9:30 p.m., Pacific Place) The good news is that Four, adapted from the acclaimed Christopher Shinn play, is only 72 minutes in length. The bad news?

It feels like three weeks. Sap running down the side of a tree moves with greater urgency than any of the dramatics depicted here.

This movie bored the heck out of me, and by the time it was over I couldn’t have cared less if any of its interlocking stories had real-world resonance or not. (1½ stars) Mr. Wrong (Saturday, Oct. 20, 9:30 p.m., Central Cinema) The 1996 Nick Castle-directed Mr. Wrong with Ellen DeGeneres and Bill Pullman is all kinds of bad, its status as one of the worst romantic comedies of all time absolutely secure. Seattle film critic David Schmader’s obsessive evisceration of and commentary on it, however, is an essential viewing experience, making this screening a must even though the movie is as horribly unfunny as anything you are likely ever to see. Ticket sales benefit Washington United for Marriage. (No stars, but go anyway!)

Mohammed to Maya (Saturday, Oct. 20, 12:30 p.m., Pacific Place) An insightful and moving documentary chronicling the gender transition of Maya Jafer, a devout Muslim from India who learns to balance her faith with her decision to undergo sexual reassignment surgery – a decision that her equally orthodox family condemns vehemently. What allows this documentary to stand out from the crowd is in its discussion of faith (specifically the Muslim faith) and spirituality as it relates

Seattle fans go ape for Bananarama

by Albert Rodriguez SGN A&E Writer

Sara Dallin (top) and Keren Woodward are Bananarama

BANANARAMA HARD ROCK CAFE October 13 It was nuts – bananas, actually – when ’80s musical act Bananarama played to a packed room at Hard Rock Cafe last weekend. The onetime trio, slimmed down to a duo these days, performed their first-ever Seattle concert in front of an animated crowd of mostly Gay men and straight party gals. These weren’t your ordinary hands-in-pockets scenesters, seeking to be noticed and focusing only momentarily on the stage. No, these were folks who listened obsessively to Bananarama back in college or high school (or maybe junior high) and were involved during the performance from start to finish.

After a rather good warm-up cover band played hits of yesteryear, from “Relax” to “Send Me an Angel” to “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”, Keren Woodward and Sara Dallin made their appearance to a riled-up audience that included gentlemen holding up vintage Bananarama records, such as a vinyl copy of the group’s 1986 album True Confessions that is now considered a rarity.

Saturday night’s show was full of greatest hits from the female pair, who were supported by at least three touring musicians (a keyboardist and two guitarists), two young male dancers, and auto-programmed background vocals. Most of the songs, including “I Heard a Rumour” and “I Want You

Back,” sounded very similar to the original recordings. But other material was given new twists, like a remix of “Cruel Summer” and an extended version of a recent smash single, “Move in My Direction.” Surprisingly, there were a few popular favorites left off the set list, such as “I Can’t Help It” and “More More More.”

There was plenty of dancing, lots of energetic Gay boys jumping up and down, and even a little drama. Two separate minibrawls broke out midway through the performance, both involving aggressive fans attempting to bulldoze themselves to the front. One of these altercations ended with a large woman throwing ice cubes at a male concertgoer.

During “Venus,” Bananarama invited about 20 people to join them on stage.

They certainly had a blast up there displaying some interesting moves and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Woodward, in a red dress and long brunette hair, and Dallin, in a black dress and shoulder-length blonde locks.

The fun concluded with an electroniclaced rendition of “Love in the First Degree” and a huge sing-along to “(Na Na Hey Hey) Kiss Him Goodbye.” No encore was offered for this performance – a little disappointing but not heartbreaking.

Up until the Spice Girls began their world dominance in 1994, Bananarama reigned as the U.K.’s biggest-selling girl group. This explains the craze following them wherever they go. And hopefully, we can count on venues like the Hard Rock Cafe to deliver more retro music acts to our doorstep.

Killers to headline Deck the Hall Ball

by Albert Rodriguez SGN A&E Writer

TOUCHDOWN, BEYONCÉ!

The Grammy-winning superstar has been confirmed as the halftime performer at Super Bowl XLVII, scheduled for February 3, 2013, in New Orleans. Following the record-setting appearance by Madonna eight months ago, the selection of Beyoncé marks the first time that female artists have earned the coveted telecast spot in back-to-back years. Maybe girls do rule the world!

Speaking of female superstars, tickets still remain for the legendary Barbra Strei-

The Killers

Moore Theatre, December 21-23. Looking ahead to 2013, Air Supply is scheduled for the Emerald Queen Casino on February 14, and ’80s pop outfit Patty Smyth & Scandal pull into Snoqualmie Casino on May 19.

The Killers headline the December 4 concert at Key Arena with added performances by M83, Metric, Awolnation, Passion Pit, The Lumineers, Grouplove, Of Monsters and Men, and The Formidable Joy. Tickets, priced between $47.70 and $127.70, are on sale now via Ticketmaster. If memory serves me correct, this is the third time that The Killers are participating in the DTHB. The Las Vegasbased group is touring in support of its new album, Battle Born.

sand’s upcoming performance at Rogers Arena, in Vancouver, B.C. The international music icon hand-picked 10 cities for her “Back to Brooklyn Tour,” which actually kicked off in Philadelphia. That concert included a duet with her son, Jason Gould.

She does adjust her set lists slightly from venue to venue, but it looks like “The Way We Were,” “People,” “Smile,” “Evergreen,” “You’re the Top,” and a snippet from “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” are all rehearsed numbers that could get play time in Vancouver. If you’re considering going to the October 29 show and are looking into affordable accommodations, try The Burrard (www.theburrard.com) or the Sunset Inn & Suites (www.sunsetinn.com) – both are centrally located and have quick access to Rogers Arena. Look for more coverage on the big Babs show in the coming weeks.

The music calendar slows down in November and December, yet a few new shows managed to sneak in before year’s end.

Richard Marx performs at The Neptune on November 16, Sufjan Stevens plays The Neptune on December 8, 2 Chainz reappears at The Showbox Market on December 21 (he was here with Nicki Minaj this summer), and gospel/R&B giant BeBe Winans is booked for a three-night residency at the

November 16 (The Showbox Market) and November 17 (Washington Hall), Pentatonix on December 19 (The Showbox Market), and Green Day on November 26 (Paramount Theatre).

Finally, two new tunes are giving me completely different impressions. Adele’s “Skyfall,” the theme song for the latest 007 film, is a letdown. I expected better from her. But I’m thrilled with Bon Iver’s new single, “Beth/Rest.” It’s so retro, so unpredictably tender, like something from an old Toto album. Check out both songs on YouTube and form your own opinion.

Celebrating 39 Years!

A Fidelio to remember Seattle Opera’s new production would make Beethoven proud

and dramatic excitement than usual. The “Prisoners’ Chorus” is a highlight of any production of Fidelio, but I’ve never found it so beautiful and moving as in this performance.

When Fisch conducts, the orchestra always sounds better than it does under anyone else. He is a marvel. Among the many fine instrumental solos, I’d like to single out Demarre McGill (principal flute), Ben Hausmann (principal oboe), David Gordon (solo trumpet), and Michael Crusoe (timpani) for special praise.

The top-notch team of stage director Chris Alexander, aforementioned set designer Robert Dahlstrom, and lighting designer Duane Schuler did everything right.

They turned what could have been a predictable, static evening into a riveting one.

Seattle with a couple of unforgettable debuts: Christiane Libor, described above by Alice Bloch in her first review for SGN, and Ric Furman, a young heldentenor I’m sure we will be hearing a lot about in coming seasons.

There aren’t many good heldentenors in the world. There are even fewer who are also excellent actors and attractive on the stage. (Lance Ryan, Siegfried in the Valencia Ring on DVD, comes to mind.) Furman, from Cincinnati, is just such a tenor.

Hired originally as “cover” for Clifton Forbis, he impressed so much in rehearsal that General Director Speight Jenkins decided he needed to give this man his own performance. Thank you, Speight, for such a gift!

Ric is tall, slender, and possessed of a powerful voice of exceptional quality. Un-

Libor’s large, supple voice was simply a revelation, and even this role, one of the most demanding ever written, did not tax her stamina.

Elise Bakketun

Catherine Meacham Hunt’s work as costume designer was less obvious, because the opera was set in the present day and the supernumeraries wore their own clothes, but her costumes lent subtlety and dignity to all the characters. As always, Jonathan Dean did a fabulous job on the English captions.

This production of Fidelio is just what the doctor ordered for your election-year malaise – a healthy dose of humanistic optimism, which might just make you believe again that love and courage can conquer tyranny and oppression, that joy can emerge from suffering, and that justice and mercy can prevail.

commonly even throughout the range, his voice is also beautiful and expressive of warmth and humanity. Indeed, his first note on Sunday made me sit up and take notice. Despite his slim stature, he seemed to have stamina to spare. With his perfect technique, the extremely demanding role of Florestan was well within his grasp. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t grow into the bigger Wagnerian roles with ease. And in this age of excellent video, how well he might do in our living rooms!

Continuing her success at Seattle Opera after her debut as Turandot, Marcy Stonikas took a little while to warm up, but by the time of the big aria her voice had regained ***** its special warmth and power. This difficult role held no apparent difficulties for her. I FOOTNOTE BY ROD PARKE eagerly await her next efforts at Seattle OpThe two casts for Fidelio have presented era.

Christiane Libor in Fidelio

by Alice Bloch Special to the SGN FIDELIO SEATTLE OPERA Through October 27 Following the triumphant conclusion of Fidelio on opening night (October 13), Seattle Opera General Director Speight Jenkins began the Q&A session by grinning broadly and saying, “This kind of evening is the reason I got into opera.” I couldn’t agree more – I became an opera fan because of thrilling productions and performances like this one.

Beethoven wrote four different overtures for his only opera, and most productions use the last of the four – the somewhat condensed Fidelio overture. Conductor Asher Fisch’s choice of the long, superbly constructed Leonore No. 3 overture proved to be a good one, both musically and dramatically. During the overture, a searchlight panned Robert Dahlstrom’s stark prison set, illuminating the tall, menacing watchtowers and the enormous expanse of chainlink fence topped by razor wire. By the time the jailer’s daughter, Marzelline (Anya Matanovič, an alumna of the Young Artist program), entered and sang the first note of the opera, the audience had fully absorbed the claustrophobic, hopeless atmosphere of a political prison. Matanovič’s lovely coloratura and charming demeanor, as she watered a brightly colored flower garden and sang of the anticipated joys of marriage, instantly provided an effective contrast between life on the outside and existence on the inside of the prison walls.

LIBOR A SENSATION The performance of the night – and probably of the whole season – was Christiane Libor’s Leonore (disguised as a man, Fidelio, for most of the opera). Libor has performed Leonore/Fidelio and other important soprano roles of the German reper-

toire in Europe, where Jenkins discovered her and signed her for this, her American premiere. Her large, supple voice was simply a revelation, and even this role, one of the most demanding ever written, did not tax her stamina. She moved without strain from soft to loud and back again, jumping from the highest to the lowest notes and back again, sounding as beautiful in the last scene as in the first. Just as impressive was her acting skill – she conveyed every emotional nuance, made Leonore’s passing as a man almost believable, and portrayed with conviction the strongest, bravest woman in all of opera.

The tenor role of Leonore’s husband, Florestan, who has been unjustly imprisoned and tortured for criticizing an official, involves less singing but includes an aria of nearly unequaled difficulty. To my ear, Clifton Forbis’s performance was uneven – his voice sounded a bit worn at times, and he seemed to force some of the loud notes. In general he did a good job, but I’ve heard him do better, and I imagine he will in future performances.

As Rocco, the jailer, bass Arthur Woodley sang and acted splendidly, as did bassbaritone Greer Grimsley as evil warden Don Pizarro. Their terrifying scene together presented abuse of power so convincingly that I could feel myself and other audience members cringe at Pizarro’s humiliation of Rocco.

Matanovič managed to give complexity to the ingénue role of Marzelline, and her light soprano voice blended well with Libor’s heavier one during their duets. In the smaller role of her suitor, Jaquino, John Tessier showed off a sweet tenor voice and appropriately youthful exuberance.

CHORUS, ORCHESTRA AT THEIR BEST The Seattle Opera Chorus is always excellent, and Fisch’s outstanding conducting gave the chorus more dynamic range
