Anyone Can Whistle – Reboot Theatre Co. @ Theatre Off Jackson (Seattle – Int. Dist.)
This wacky, intelligent, highly unconventional musical points ahead to Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking work in the 1970s, even as it keeps a foot firmly rooted in musical theatre’s “golden age.” Anyone Can Whistle tells the story of a corrupt mayoress who fakes a miracle to revitalize her bankrupt town, and the ill-fated romance between the rational nurse, out to expose the fraud, and the easygoing doctor who is determined to enjoy the chaos that it brings. An unconventional satire of small-town life.
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Arthur Laurents. Directed by Jasmine Joshua, music directed by Kaelee Bolme, choreographed by Harry Turpin. Co-presented by Reboot Theatre Company and Theatre Off Jackson.
Tickets $6-$106 (sliding scale available for all) here.
