a great musical production of ‘Hairspray’ at the Seattle Musical Theater

Yesterday was Margo’s birthday. Tonight we went to dinner and a musical.

Dinner was at Harissa’s Lebanese restaurant across the street from Margo’s place on 65th in Seattle. We split an combo appetizer of baba ganush , tahini, a chili/walnut salsa, and hummus with pita bread. We ate slowly and were full by the time the lamb kabobs showed up.

After dinner, we headed over to Seattle Musical Theater’s home for the last four years at Magnuson Park. We had a strategic seating discussion with Amanda the house manager. Amanda was not able to solve the problem directly. With Margo’s intervention, another patron sat in a different spot so we could sit together.

The actors were incredible with great energy and skill. The band sounded great. It was an amazingly high caliber event. We are sure to be back again soon. Each play runs for about a month. SMT will take a break for the holidays and be back next year with A Chorus Line.

I am grateful for a great evening with Margo, a surprisingly good Lebanese restaurant (I thought having salmon kabobs on the menu of a middle eastern restaurant was a bad omen—the lamb was delicious) and incredibly musical theater.
