Andrea Marcovicci
I’d happily forgo two weeks’ worth of lattes to budget in another evening with la belle dame of cabaret, Andrea Marcovicci. A winsome portrait of Fred Astaire himself looks on as this latter day virtuoso struts from table to tiny table in a meticulously woven tapestry of song, dance, anecdotes, and commentary; Marcovicci is the most sultry history buff you’d ever hope to meet. Sporting fountains of feathers, a hip-high side slit, and enough bling to make P.Diddy green, the lady radiates femininity as she balances precariously on a lone heel for her racier moves. But in one quick wardrobe change Marcovicci goes from a Broadway bombshell to a coat-tailed dragking serenading your date. Andrea’s version of Astaire, paradoxically, reaches back to vintage Hollywood to bring cabaret into the 21st century. JENNA NAND Ends Oct. 7.

Style With a Conscience
Do you have this top in green? By JEN HARPER
So apparently Seattle has this reputation for being
eco-friendly. Who knew? Now in addition to driving hybrids and recycling, reducing, and reusing like it’s our job, we can
wear bamboo and be deemed fashionable. Sweet. And now the first-ever
Green Fashion Week wants to celebrate just that with five days of events featuring top-name designers, in what the organizers call “the country’s most environmentally aware city.” Ah, but green fashion has a price, and it ain’t cheap. Want the VIP treatment? Eight hundred and fifty dollars gets you into a private shopping event at a local boutique, a trunk show, a book release party, and the Style Suite at El Gaucho, along with front-row tickets to the runway show. However, for just $50 you can still buy a ticket to the Oct. 6 show, where sustainable fashion designers like Anna Cohen, Lara Miller, and Lizzie Parker will be showing off their green threads.

Love & Insanity
Launching the evening with a Vegas-style fanfare, Love & Insanity brings vaudeville flair and a night of woozy laughs to Belltown. While the amusingly dressed waitstaff (think Victorian butt-rockers and Chinese satin dresses) hover attentively delivering tasty nibbles and quality drinks from Café Amoré’s competent kitchen and sexy back-lit bar, our MC and organizatrix, Ryan Hazy, croons smooth renditions of cabaret faves between each act. Drag-unlovely divas pump out wicked and wonky lipsync renditions of Streisand and Cher while gliding between tables in the intimate dining space. Two lovely bellydancers undulate to modern Middle-Eastern beats, a flapper-style burlesque performance titillates the crowd all too briefly, and a truly stunning impersonation of Eartha Kitt lipsyncs to her famous “Champagne Taste” and brings the house down. It’s a brand-spanking new show and a touch unpolished, but it makes for a colorfully tacky evening of cabaret, camp, and cheesecake. NEIL CORCORAN.

Crime and Punishment
An advanced knowledge of Dostoevsky’s novel is not necessary to be deeply affected by the 90-minute version in the intimate Underground Theatre space at CHAC. Sheila Daniels’ production places the audience on either side of the action, and from this eerily juror-like viewpoint you witness the gut-wrenching story unfold. I was more than impressed by the script’s ability to streamline the heavy plot and cornucopia of characters—the adaptation only requires three actors, with Galen Joseph Osier as Raskolnikov, Hana Lass playing Sonya and other women, and Mark Fullerton playing Porfiry. These highly-skilled storytellers do their job remarkably well. Even Dostoevsky would be proud. DYLAN SLADKY Must close Oct. 14.

Snow Falling on Cedars
David Guterson’s sensual yet somber story is set in a fictional fishing town in the San Juan Islands during World War II. Racial tensions are high and there’s plenty at stake for a local Japanese man on trial for murder. Reporter Ishmael Chambers struggles to be objective in his coverage, despite harboring feelings for the defendant’s wife, Hatsue Imada; the two were childhood sweethearts forced apart when she and her family were sent to an interment camp. Kevin McKeon’s adaptation of the novel examines the embitterment and loss that has developed in people affected by prejudice. It works, even with the story’s constant tricky time-shifting. In poignant flashbacks, Jonah Von Spreecken as Ishmael and Mona Leach as Hatsue capture the tenderness and sadness behind a doomed relationship, making you wonder what would have happened to them in an alternate universe void of fear and hate.

Columbia City Cabaret
Clean-up on aisle nine By JEN HARPER
“You must make noise … because it turns us on,” said hostess
Tamara the Trapeze Lady at the
Columbia City Cabaret’s “Uncontrollably Messy” show on Sept. 21, featuring
Paoola the Swedish Housewife showing off the sexy art of hair removal,
Miss Indigo Blue bringing down the house with a little Led Zeppelin and a whole lotta lemonade, Pure Cirkus aerialist
Mr. Beau leaving my mouth agape,
Ade singing her little heart out, and tap dancer
Josh Scrivner who didn’t have to take his clothes off to have a good time (oh no), though some guys and gals probably wished he did. And I never realized how incredibly hot a black light and some paint could be until I saw Tamara’s “
Gratuitous Sex Thinly Disguised As Art” act. Despite a couple of tarps, the front row (and beyond) left a little wetter than they came—from the paint, water, and lemonade, you sickos. After a sporadic summer, their show gets back on an every-Friday schedule this week; on the bill will be Secret Agent James Blonde. Oct. 12 sees the return of The Titllation Twins.

No bitching at this stitching extravaganza By AJA PECKNOLD
During a four-hour train ride through the breathtaking terrain of Norway, it’s clear that one thing this country does not want for in the least (in addition to clean streets, healthcare, and striking genes) is a burgeoning population of sheep. The hills, fields, and fjords are dotted with them as far as the eye can see. What to do with all that warm, fuzzy wool? Well, since we can’t grow it, we’ve got to wear it, and the
Nordic Knitting Conference is here to show you how the Scandinavians do it. Knit, that is. They’ve wrangled a panel of experts that hail from all across the region (Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway), to shed some light on their needle-clacking skills. The mystery of the beautiful patterns of Viking designs, folk-inspired imagery, and striking snowflakes will fall away like wool from a razor under their expert tutelage. It’s one more way, at least, to keep warm during the cold months ahead.

Sausage Fest, Bra!
A meaty great time in Everett By MIKE SEELY
Bro, I hope this party’s not going to be a total sausage fest. I mean, there’d better be chicks there. Beers, barbecue, bands, babes, bros—hell yes, dude, this is how I want to spend m’weekend. But if it’s just dudes, no thanks. Wait—what? There’s a sausage fest in E-Town that’s not, um, actually a sausage fest. You mean, like, the literal meaning of sausage, as in

Balanchine’s Petipa
Find the family resemblances in the PNB repertory By SANDRA KURTZ
In the same way that you can look at your family album and see your nose repeating back through generations of parents and grandparents, you can see the ancestors of a dance in the works that came before it.
George Balanchine spent his youth at the Imperial Theater School in St. Petersburg, absorbing the works of classicist choreographer
Marius Petipa along with his lessons in the studio. While some of these foundational ballets are still in performance today, many are only available through the arcane notation system that was practiced at the school at the time. Dance historian and Pacific Northwest Ballet education director Doug Fullington has taught himself Stepanov notation, and has restaged excerpts from some of these historic ballets; in PNB’s program “
Balanchine’s Petipa” you can see them demonstrated next to their contemporary descendants, presented by PNB artistic director Peter Boal, in a dance history show-and-tell.

World of Nerdcraft
The Olympics of cybergaming By ERIKA HOBART
Until my friend Derek faced the grim reality that he couldn’t be a superior gamer without dropping out of college or losing his girlfriend, he maintained a strict regime that consisted of going to an Internet café each day, Monday through Friday, to play five hours of
World of Warcraft. He usually ate before and after these hours because consuming food during the game could be a costly distraction. He threw around terms like “guild” and “warlock” as though they were as universal as remarking upon the weather. The freaky thing is that Derek, obsessed as he was, was just a peon in the gaming world. The
2007 World Cyber Games Grand Final is coming to Seattle and its roster is intense. More than
700 players from 75 countries, many of whom get paid to play games, will compete for the title of world champion at this tournament. The strategy and perseverance necessary to be this good at video games is mind-blowing. If you enjoy people who make awkward conversation or want to pick up some gaming pointers and really
L2p (learn to play, duh), then this is something you don’t want to miss.
Fridays with Riz from KEXP
Nightlife By RACHEL SHIMP
Are you superstitious? Then stick with the usual M.O. for Friday the 13th, like being wary of ladders, black cats, shattered mirrors, kindly loan officers, etc. One thing you shouldn’t be afraid of, though, is dancing, and I can’t think of a better place to spend this particular Friday than at Re-Bar with
DJ Riz (also of KEXP’s long-running show
Expansions). Why? Not only has he commandeered the club’s Fridays since forever, and won
Best DJ in
SW’s readers’ poll numerous times, but the scene on this night is never dull. Riz plays deep, funky house but throws in whatever else he feels like, unconstrained by a ruling vibe. And Riz’s followers are passionate and varied. You’ll notice the same people doing their same weird dances week after week, each seemingly locked into their own groovy universe. That kind of reliable abandon is such an unusual clubland sight, every Friday there feels
a little bit freaky.

High School Musical
Most of my thoughts during the performance were drowned out by the ecstatic shrieks of tween girls, but suffice it to say that High School Musical is filled with enough sugary goodness that you just may leave the theater with diabetes. In case you’ve missed out, Disney’s latest craze centers around two very briefly ill-fated lovers, Troy and Gabriella, whose rivaling high school cliques are just like the Montagues and the Capulets, except that in this version the Montagues learn that basketball stars can bake, and the Capulets learn that math nerds can sing. As their respective friend groups help Troy and Gabriella audition for Juliet and Romeo—a “neo-feminist” adaptation of the classic tragedy, minus the tragedy plus catchy pop tunes—they reach the conclusion that we’re all different in a good way, and (spoiler) everybody wins! Moralizing aside, the cast is excellent, delivering stellar vocal performances and high-energy dance routines, which show off the wonderfully eye-catching choreography of Kathryn Van Meter. The show is campy and ridiculous, and you’ll have fun in spite of yourself—unless you’re an 11-year-old girl, in which case you’ll love it unconditionally and loudly. BRENT ARONOWITZ.

Misery
With Simon Moore's script based on the film based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, this two-character play delivers what its posters advertise: “A scary story as we head toward Halloween.” Misery is the tale of Paul Sheldon, a best-selling romance novelist, who is pulled from the wreckage of his car by Annie Wilkes, his “number one fan,” and transported to her home due to inclement road conditions. Once there, a situation that begins as your classic creepy web of lies quickly turns violent. It’d be hard to one-up Kathy Bates and James Caan’s performances in the film, but this stage rendition is satisfyingly suspenseful. SecondStory Repertory’s Mark Waldstein (Paul) actually manages to make attendees chuckle in the midst of cowering from Sara Trowbridge (Annie) and the terror/awkwardness of what is unfolding in front of them.

Sweet Smell of Success
Meet the guys who’d eat Perez Hilton for lunch By J. HOBERMAN
Part
inside, snide celebration, part self-righteous exposé, this 1957 showbiz melodrama has never seemed more timely or more evocative of a vanished period. Written in acid by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman, peerlessly directed by Alexander Mackendrick,
Sweet Smell of Success defines a particular urban style. The bitter bon mots, the brassy, jazz-inflected score, and the way tabloids are treated as messages from on high all amplify Tony Curtis’ hectic performance as an ambitious flack, Sidney Falco, in the Kingdom of Dreadful Night ruled by a monstrous corpse—the gossip columnist immortally played by Burt Lancaster, J.J. Hunsecker. (Lancaster is pictured at right, with Martin Milner.)

The Summer Before The Summer of Love
A romantic comedy featuring a pair of gay lovers set during the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, Scot Augustson’s play feels like a thin and rather listless exercise in revisionist nostalgia. Director William Cole handles the material in a fairly straightforward manner, and there are some quiet, touching moments that capture the giddy, nervous thrill of early romance; confronting the storied liberalism and sexual license of the ‘60s in a manner at once so political and deeply personal is a brilliant conceit, but the play is so bereft of cultural signifiers that the love story feels sketched and two-dimensional.

Pubertee’s Pub
Billing itself as a show from which puritans are prohibited, Theater Schmeater’s new late night romp is not for those offended by such lewd topics as blow jobs, nudity, or Democratic presidential candidates. Part vaudeville, part improvisational comedy, it’s a look at the inner working of what is apparently a British bar in Seattle. Though loosely structured, no one really cares, because it’s funny.
Pubertee’s creator, host, and bartender, Troy Mink, an excellent performer and a convincing codger, is joined by a talented ensemble that includes a prostitute, a rapper-turned-tapper, and an alcoholic cab driver, and the performance has many moments of surprising wit. You’re invited and encouraged to purchase drinks during the show. BRENT ARONOWITZ Ends Oct. 6. [See related article

Dead men do tell tales By LAURA ONSTOT
Turns out Buddha wasn’t as fat as the t-shirts at Urban Outfitters suggest, and Nostradamus cured plague sufferers with clean water and vitamin C before predicting the Apocalypse. Local author
Michael Stusser grills 45 of history’s most notable and notorious in
The Dead Guy Interviews, a collection of his comic columns from trivia-centric magazine
mental_floss. The premise is a good one: fake interviews with people from the little blue sections of sixth-grade textbooks. Creating 45 different voices isn’t easy, and Stusser doesn’t always pull it off; Napoleon, Coco Chanel, and Joan of Arc all have zee same stereotyped French syntax and a penchant for calling people “imbecile!” At times, Stusser raises questions that go deeper than his history lite is prepared to discuss, asking George Washington Carver if “African Americans had themselves to blame for not achieving higher status in the South.”
“Ya know, I try and avoid public statements on my philosophy and mainly stick to peanuts,” faux-Carver responds. With enough trivia to help high schoolers through their history Advanced Placement tests, it’s a good thing to have on hand the next time you’re watching a Jim Jarmusch movie and trying to remember who that Nikola Tesla guy was.

Million Dollar Quartet
A momentous meeting in Memphis, recreated on stage By VIRGINIA ZECH
It has been just over half a century since four rock/country/gospel/rockabilly legends, later to be known as the
Million Dollar Quartet, found themselves together in a small Memphis studio recording impromptu tracks. The Village Theatre production of the same name, perhaps more accurately described as one of the best cover shows in the history of man, chronicles the story and music of that evening at
Sun Records. December 4, 1956 could have gone down in the annals of obscure musical history as the day
Johnny Cash and
Carl Perkins gave notice of their intentions to leave Sun at the expiration of their contracts; it could also have been recorded as the date of a nostalgic reunion between
Elvis Presley and his friend and former champion, then-owner of Sun, Sam Phillips. Through some divine miracle of scheduling these events transpired simultaneously, their accompanying tensions hilariously mitigated by Sun’s recent hire: hillbilly, pianist, and vocal legend
Jerry Lee Lewis. Everyone in this play deserves praise, Jerry Guest’s almost eerie channeling of Cash and Levi Kreis’s hysterical rendering of Jerry Lee in particular. Inspired musical performances punctuated by moments of wit and sadness made this show the most fun I have had at the theatre in a long time.
