Air Smarty
As I mentioned in a previous post, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gmjambear and I went to see Captain Smartypants' new show, "Air Smarty", at the Columbia City Theater on Rainier Ave in south Seattle. The show continues next Friday through Sunday (8 PM Friday and Saturday; 2 PM Sunday).
Without giving away too much of the plot, there's a spoof of the NOM "The Perfect Storm" ad, a cute little piece about Pluto's expulsion from the club of planets, and a brilliant quodlibet of O mio babbino caro, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", and "Lady Marmalade". There's also magic fairy dust, vintage gowns, preposterous chapeaux, exotic oboe solos, a surreal bit of public radio programming gone horribly wrong, and a fabulous rendition of a technically difficult piece by Annie Lennox.
I highly recommend it.
