WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Wagner's Ring cycle is spun as a witty Texas fable with five actors playing more than 30 outrageous characters at breakneck speed. Songs run the gamut from Broadway and Texas swing to jazz and twangy country western. Mismatched lovers who meet on the day of their shotgun double wedding, three generations of feuding families, a magic ring of power, wild west lariat tricks, a synchronized swimming revue, a song and dance tribute to the joys of guacamole, and the sweetest two-step ever to slide across a stage add up to wild comedy.

Variety wrote: "Your sides will ache by the end of the fast paced country western musical comedy," and Hollywood Reporter said: "Conjure up your basic Texas hootenanny, complete with lassos, long neck beers, fringed leather and steel guitars. Now, if you can, marry that image with Wagner's Ring Cycle, in all its operatic, melodramatic intensity. These improbable, no impossible, bedfellows come deliriously together in [this] splendidly giddy musical."

THEATER/VENUE INFORMATION:



ACT
700 Union St
Seattle, WA 98101

The Allen Arena Theater was once carved out of what was once the Eagles' Auditorium grand ballroom. Viewing the stage is not a problem with the wonderful sightlines. Seats are wide and comfy with a good amount of leg room.

RE:Das Barbecu - not to be missed!
I saw this show in Connecticut before it went to Broadway and have been searching for a decade to see it again. We are actually planning a vacation from Boulder to Seattle just to see this show. It is the most clever and funniest spoof on opera, and equally as enjoyable for non-opera lovers. Please dont miss this!
