Although the 5th Avenue is billing the show as Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!

(to distinguish it from, what, the Bertolt Brecht version?), you hardly need those legendary names to advertise whose fabled state you're entering. The exclamation point says it all. And for this revival, the 5th plans is using local choreographer Donald Byrd and his Spectrum Dance Theater to make sure the 1943 classic steps in time. Given that Byrd's company electrified the 5th's West Side Story five years ago, you'd do well to watch what becomes of this piece's famed (and sometimes dreaded) Dream Ballet. We've also been promised an examination of race in turn-of-the-century America--a dubious prospect, yet director Peter Rothstein has interestingly upped the stakes by casting a black actor as Jud Fry, the farmhand who sends an erotic chill down the lily-white spine of Laurey and rattles her cowboy love Curly. And you'll get a score that, especially if you haven't paid it heed in a while, still sounds both fresh and as unshakeable a part of you as your DNA. There's a bright golden haze on the meadow...

Running Time: 1 hour, 40 minutes (including intermission)
The Flying Karamazov Brothers are soaring back into Emerald City! Fresh from a year Off-Broadway, a summer in London's West End, a month in Madrid and a weekend in Peoria, their critically incriminating show is ripe and ready for Rain City. The Brothers will wash away your winter blues with red fire and yellow yolk. These pranksters dance, prance, pun, dunce, sing, aspire, perspire and mesmerize their way through an evening of reinvention.
"A Triumph!" yells the NY Times.
"The Marx Brothers meets the Juilliard String Quartet" adds the Boston Globe.
Your world will be new-made through this mad collision of skill and chaos, gutter lies and lofty beauty. Come join the crowd as these Seattle favorites juggle everything except your spouse - Bring an object* for The Challenge (a juggling feat), and bring grandma and the kids, who will all savor this saucy dish of laughter and levity that is "Fresh, impressive and genuinely funny, as close to a sure thing as can be found on stage." - The New York Times.
*Heavier than an ounce, less than 10 pounds and no bigger than a breadbox. The Champ will not juggle a live animal or anything that may prevent The Champ from continuing to be a live animal. More >>

Downtown-Queen Anne-Capitol Hill
Get a Clue is a race and stroll through the streets of Seattle. Choose Capitol Hill, Queen Anne or Downtown, or go for broke and complete all three. Course will be open for two whole weeks so you complete it on your own schedule - day, night, weekend, lunch break, sunny, rainy, have your office compete during work, all at once, break it up over several days, fast or leisurely...
The way it works: Sign up as an individual or as a team. You can also sign up in the designated businesses in your neighborhood (please see neighborhood info). You will receive an emailed clue sheet on March 18 with fun clues to places you might not have known about or well known places with interesting things you might have missed. Answer the question about each clue and submit your answer sheet to a participating business along the way. Every correctly answered clue sheet will be eligible for prizes from local companies.
You will also recieve your own local discount card to businesses in your neighborhood. Take advantage of offers like two for one coffees, or happy hour pricing all day long. If you would like to race the course, that is an option as well. Prizes will be awarded for fastest individual and fastest teams. Please see information for the neighborhood of your choice.
Prefer to use your GPS device? Geocaching option will be available on the clue sheets. Each neighborhood is designed to be completed in 3-4 miles. This is meant as a running or walking event. If you choose to use your bicycle please do not participate in the timed option.

The new high rises and the dredging of rivers around Phnom Penh...Sopheap Pich immigrated to the US from Cambodia in 1984.
