A CANCELED SHOW.A DEADLY VIRUS.

A SECOND CHANCE.

T WAS THE night before our first major gig, and I was determined to perform — no matter how terrible I felt. Even in the Emergency Department at

Northwest Hospital & Medical Center, all I talked about was making it to the show. That’s about the time they placed me into a coma.

Two weeks later, I woke up to learn that I was a miracle. It was the H1N1 virus, and I had been given a 10–15 percent chance of survival. Two things helped save me: the high-tech rotating bed that kept fluid out of my lungs, and people like Dr. Keenan (Physician, Northwest Hospital & Medical Center) who refused to give up on me. She even slept at the hospital until I was through the worst of it. I feel like she and her team gave me this amazing gift. I remember walking outside for the first time and seeing the trees swaying in the wind like they were waving to me, saying, “Welcome back to this beautiful world.”

I never want to forget that moment.

WELCOMEFrom Seattle Theatre Group, a non-profit arts organization

Welcome to the “outrageously FUN musical” PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT. The uplifting story of a trio of friends on a road trip of a lifetime, who hop aboard a battered old bus searching for love and friendship in the middle of the Australian outback and end up finding more than they could ever have dreamed.

Some of us are already dreaming about the holidays and the glitz and color of PRISCILLA might be exactly what we need to inspire our decoration ideas. To inspire your planning for great holiday experiences, STG will present a few offerings to consider adding to your holiday calendar.

This holiday season we bring a mix of classics, family fun, and great singing, with a little dose of naughty fun. Kicking off our holiday season is the classic Manheim Steamroller, with Chip Davis. Experience the magic that has been America’s favorite holiday celebration for over 25 years. Grammy Award-winner Chip Davis has created a show that features the beloved Christmas music of Mannheim Steamroller along with dazzling multimedia effects. The season continues with a delightful evening featuring the Canadian quartet, The Tenors, A Perfect Holiday Tour. Come see why they say, “Music is the language of the soul.” Both performances are fun for all ages and the family.

Looking for something different this year? John Waters - legendary filmmaker (Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, A Dirty Shame), and author of the 2010 bestselling book, Role Models - cruises into town on his sleigh full of smut this December, landing at The Neptune Theatre to spread yuletide cheer and lunacy with his critically acclaimed one-man show, A JOHN WATERS CHRISTMAS. Putting the “X” back in Xmas, Waters’ rapid-fire monologue explores and explodes holiday rituals and traditions as he shares his compulsive desire to give and receive perverted gifts, a religious fanaticism for Santa Claus, and an unhealthy love of real life holiday horror stories. Obviously, this one is intended for mature audiences.

Rounding out the season, join us for Cirque Dreams HOLIDAZE. An international cast of over 30 multi-talented and brilliantly costumed artists come to life and perform astonishing feats of disbelief. Experience gingerbread men flipping mid air, toy soldiers marching on thin wires, snowmen daringly balancing, and reindeer soaring high above a landscape of holiday wonderment. Sounds like the perfect escape after a day of shopping downtown and will be a great night out with family visiting from out of town. Fun for all ages.

And as we prepare to close the door on the current year and open up the brand new one, come raise your glass with us and welcome EVITA, opening New Year’s Eve. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award®-winning musical returns at last! This passionate and unforgettable true story, features some of theater’s most memorable songs, including Don’t Cry for Me Argentina. Don’t miss this stunning new production.

Please enjoy the show and we look forward to seeing you during the holiday season!

Cirque Dreams Holidaze lights up the 2013 holiday season when it transforms the stage at the Paramount Theatre into a dazzling wonderland of fantastical amusement. The brilliantly costumed international cast comes to life as they perform astonishing feats. Experience gingerbread men flipping mid-air, toy soldiers marching on thin wires, snowmen daringly balancing, icemen powerfully sculpting, penguins spinning, puppets dancing and reindeer soaring high above a landscape of holiday wonderment. An original music score and some seasonal favorites accompany over 300 spectacular costumes and holiday dreams in a setting of gigantic gifts, colossal candy canes and a towering 30-foot Christmas tree. Broadway World describes Cirque as: “colorful, festive, imaginative, inventive, and thoroughly entertaining…Holidaze rivals The Rockettes’ Radio City Christmas Spectacular in terms of production quality and entertainment value”. Do not miss this international sensation that is sure to bring a unique sparkle to this holiday season.

Lelavision’s Heavy Metal DeVicesDECEMBER 14 & 15

THE MOORE THEATRE

$20 (NOT INCLUDING FEES)

“ We are planning to fill the newly renovated Moore Theater with big objects as likely to flip a body 16’ in the air on a steel pyramid as they are to produce exotic melodies that would sooth the wildest child or the staunchest art critic.”

– ela lamblin, co-director

Over the past twenty years, Lelavision co-director, Ela Lamblin, has devised over twenty odd archetypal metal devices that can be used in all manner of surprising ways. This performance brings together these peculiar devices with human collaborators. Some spin, some rock, some fly, some are worn as costumes. Some are bowed, some honk, some sing, some are hit, some crash. All the contraptions are equally at home as apparatus for contemporary dance and physical theater as they are as devices for ambient musical transport. When these objects are brought to life with sound and action the results are like mind-boggling hallucinations that elicit awe and curiosity.

Behind the Vision: Lelavision co-director and choreographer

Leah Mann have spent the past 20 years working closely with Ela and his objects to create performances in which the playing of these contraptions is a fluidly formed collabo-ration of bodies becoming one with objects to generate patterns of movement and sound. Composer Jason Staczek (well known for his work in scoring films) is working closely with Ela and his devices to create new music that is as innovative as the instruments themselves. Director AJ Epstein will bring a fresh eye and developed theatrical sensibility to the show. In addition to this four person creative team, the stellar cast includes dancers Abby Enson and Lynelle Sjoberg, and musicians Aimee Zoe Tubbs, Arlette Moody, and Christopher Overstreet.

EVITADECEMBER 31 – JANUARY 5 | THE PARAMOUNT THEATRE

Eva Perón used her beauty and charisma to rise meteorically from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as First Lady. Adored by her people as a champion for the poor, she became one of the most powerful women in the world – while her greed, outsized ambition and fragile health

made her one of the most tragic. EVITA tells Eva’s passionate and unforgettable true story, and features some of theater’s most beautiful songs, including “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Another Suitcase in Another Hall” and “High Flying, Adored.”

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award®-winning musical returns for New Years Eve!

Don’t miss the stunning new production of EVITA, directed by MICHAEL GRANDAGE and choreographed by ROB ASHFORD, that Channel 4 New York calls “THE HOTTEST TICKET IN TOWN!”

Like a wayward Santa for the Christmas obsessed, John Waters – legendary filmmaker (Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, A Dirty Shame), and author of the 2010 bestselling book, Role Models – cruises into town on his sleigh full of smut this December, spreading yuletide cheer and lunacy with his critically acclaimed one-man show, “A John Waters Christmas.” Putting the “X” back in Xmas, Waters’ rapid-fire monologue explores and explodes the traditional holiday rituals and traditions as he shares his compulsive desire to give and receive perverted gifts, a religious fanaticism for Santa Claus, and an unhealthy love of real life holiday horror stories. Delving into his passion for lunatic exploitation of Christmas movies and the unhealthy urge to remake all his own films into seasonal children’s classics, “The Pope of Trash” will give you a Joyeux Noel like no other.

Andrew Conru

Stephan Elliot, who wrote the book,

screenplay and directed the original

film, got the idea for the film “Priscilla”

when he saw a feather blow off a drag

queen’s headdress at Sydney Mardi

Gras and roll down the street like an

old Sergio Leone tumbleweed!

In addition to a Tony Award® for

their costume designs for the stage

production of Priscilla Queen of the

Desert, Costume Design team Tim

Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner won an

Oscar® for the film version. When

accepting her Oscar®, Lizzy Gardiner

wore a dress made entirely out of

American Express cards.

The famous flip-flop dress from the

movie “Priscilla” only cost $7.00.

A reconstructed version of the dress

is featured in the stage production

as well.

The song “It’s Raining Men” was

originally offered to iconic pop divas

Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Cher

and Barbara Streisand, before being

accepted by Martha Wash and Izora

Armstead of The Weather Girls.

Their version sold over 6 million

copies worldwide.

Since the 1970s, the Baltimore Orioles

have played “Thank God I’m a Country

Boy” during the seventh inning stretch

of every game.

The Broadway production of Priscilla

Queen of the Desert used 295 ostrich

feather plums in the costumes and

headdresses.

During the Broadway run, approxi-

mately 1,500 makeup remover wipes

were used each week and 24 pairs

of eye lashes for each performance;

175 tubes of lipstick, 75 pots of eye

shadow and 2 pounds of glitter were

used each month!

12 rolls of packing tape are used per

week to remove glitter from lips!

There are over 500 costumes, 60 wigs,

150 pairs of shoes and over 200 hats

and headdresses in the show!

There are close to 65 wigs changes

in Priscilla Queen of the Desert, the

fastest one around 15 seconds!

Priscilla Queen of the Desert features

9 different styles of lashes, and the

longest pair measured at 3.5” long.

26 SEATTLE THEATRE GROUP

Do you have a favorite spot in Seattle to unwind?

My favorite place in Seattle to unwind is the garage roof of my apartment building. If you’re lucky enough to have roof access in the city, you have a private place to picnic in the middle of the day. I love our “lanai,” as I refer to it – in honor of the Golden Girls; it gives me and my friends the perfect amount of seclusion for our outdoor activities.

What did you learn about yourself while being a contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race?

The thing I learned from my time on Drag Race that I appreciate the most is the ability to look at yourself objectively, and commit to improving your weak spots. As an artist, you have to be open to growth and evolution in your art form, no matter how long you’ve been working. 

What is your favorite scene to preform from Hedwig and the Angy Inch?

My favorite scene to perform in Hedwig is the Sugar Daddy sequence, when we first meet Luther and we learn a little more about Hansel’s affinities for American culture. “Sugar Daddy” is one of my favorite songs to perform in the show.

Are you more comfortable in the role as Hedwig this year? Should we expect any alterations in your performance?

I think the biggest alteration you’ll find from my Hedwig performance earlier this year is that I’ve had a lot more time on the road. I’ve been to so many new places in such a short amount of time, and I’ve seen many more sides to the lifestyle of a performer –

Q+A Jerick Hoffer / J I N K X M O N S O O N

both glamorous and hideous. I hope to use my experience and deeper understanding to infuse Hedwig with a bit more gravitas and weariness, now that I’m a bit more mature and maybe, just maybe, a slight bit more jaded.

What was your experience like during your New York theatre début preforming in The Vaudevillians?

My music partner, Major Scales, and I have joked for years about The Vaudevillians going to New York, taking it by storm, and getting to perform our zany show all over the world... NEVER did we think this was a sincere possi-bility, and so soon! It’s been amazing, seeing everyone’s reactions to our show. I think it proves that Seattle cultivates unique and developed talent that incorporates a special Northwest aesthetic in all they do. I feel honored to be a Northwestern artist taking our work out into the world for audiences everywhere to enjoy.

What piece of advice would you give to aspiring drag queens?

The best advice I could give to any drag queen – whether they’ve been at it for years, or they’re an aspiring newcomer – is tenacity. Tenacity, because if you not only stick to what you’re passionate about, but are also committed to it enough to want to improve your art form even at the expense of your own ego, then you can take it farther than you may have guessed. Be willing to put in hard work to your craft, and don’t shy away from honest, sincere, constructive criticism.

Seattle Theatre Group

and Balagan Theatre

is excited to welcome

back local artist Jerick

Hoffer (also known

as Jinkx Monsoon) to

reprise the lead role

of Hedwig in Hedwig

and the Angry Inch.

Jerick Hoffer studied at

Cornish College of the

Arts and recently won

“America’s Next Drag

Superstar” on season 5

of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
