All the Way Seattle playwright Robert Schenkkan’s acclaimed drama about LBJ’s passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 earned Tony Awards for Best Drama and its star, Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston, after reaching Broadway last year. Now Seattle audiences can finally see the work, with Jack Willis assuming the title role. (Kenajuan Bentley plays MLK, who lobbies for speedier progress on civil rights; Richard Elmore portrays J. Edgar Hoover-and we know which side he’s on.) In this, the 50th-anniversary year of the Civil Rights Act, with an African-American president in the White House, All the Way is automatically the biggest stage event of the season. Bill Rauch directs both this play and Schenkkan’s new companion piece about LBJ’s struggles from 1965-68 (chiefly Vietnam), The Great Society, which opens December 5 and alternates with All the Way (sharing the same cast) through January 4.

Dogfight Where were you in ‘91? Nancy Savoca was then a rising indie filmmaker who gathered two bright young stars, River Phoenix and Lili Taylor, for a sad, lovely period drama filmed right here in Seattle. Dogfight follows a pack of young Marines bound for the Vietnam War in 1963, when Rose and Eddie become a couple-if only for one tender night-because of a cruel bet made among Eddie and his pals. (Essentially: Find the ugliest girl you can, a dog, for a fake date bound to end in humiliation.) Now this is not the most likely Hollywood property for a stage show, yet Peter Duchan and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul crafted a musical adaptation that debuted off-Broadway two years ago. The show received decent reviews (an “intimate, carefully tended new musical,” quoth The New York Times), and it’s here making its Northwest premiere despite the sudden collapse of Balagan Theatre, which was originally set to co-produce the show. Local audiences will remember the Pasek/Paul team from their A Christmas Story, The Musical at the 5th Avenue four years back. What they’ve done, cleverly, to evoke the late-JFK era is to have Eddie and the boys harmonize like the Four Seasons, while the more progressive-minded Rose is already looking ahead to Dylan and Joan Baez. The show’s nominally set in San Francisco, and she’s a flower child in the making. Kody Bringman and Devon Busswood star as the central couple, leading a local cast directed by Mathew Wright.

In the Heights See Village Theatre’s percolating production of In the Heights and be baffled anew at why this show hasn’t earned the fanatical popularity of Wicked or inspired the critical orgasms of The Book of Mormon. Sixty years ago, Lin-Manuel Miranda (music and lyrics) and Quiara Alegria Hudes (book) would have inked a Hollywood deal during intermission of opening night, so solid and surefire is their 2008 story of the changes that beset residents of Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood during two sultry summer days. The show’s challenges are not only emotional-from one scene to the next, it’s a roller-coaster from humor to anger to tragedy to salsa-driven joy-but technical too. In particular, the opening and closing numbers of Act 1 mix dialogue sung, spoken, and rapped in intricate succession with dance and, in the finale, a blacked-out stage. Nobody missed a beat of either kind, even though the show’s packed with incident and necessarily fast-paced. But everything lands; everything works; every song, scene, and bit gets its most impactful tempo and weight as guided by director Eric Ankrim. See villagetheatre.org for schedule. Ends Nov. 23.

Teatro ZinZanni: Beaumount & Caswell in Hacienda Holiday TZZ’s new show keeps its dinner-cabaret formula fresh with acts that mash up entertainment skills in pairs: aerial plus dance en pointe by PNB alumna Ariana Lallone; trapeze plus contortion with Duo Rose; juggling plus the speed and aesthetic of thrash metal by Gamal David Garcia; and ballroom dance plus pole work by the astounding Vertical Tango. All this is organized by just the lightest spritz of storyline: Vivian Beaumount and Clifton Caswell (Christine Deaver and Kevin Kent) return to a swanky hotel to renew their vows. By the end, the gender-melding is complete-Beaumount and Caswell reconcile, each adopting at least two sexes, maybe more. It’s a romantic finale as spicy as the Southwest-inspired menu.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike Chekhov and comedy don’t really go together. You’ll find a thread of wry, sometimes rueful humor in his plays, but nothing aimed for belly laughs on the order of this 2012 farce by Christopher Durang. He essentially takes a Chekhovian situation-a pair of thwarted siblings still living in their dead parents’ house-and gooses it. Vanya (R. Hamilton Wright) and Sonia (Marianne Owen) are the shut-ins whose routine is disrupted by the arriaval of sister Masha (Pamela Reed), an egotistical actress. Her trade allows Durang to send up both Chekhov and Hollywood. And to explain the names: The siblings’ parents were theater nerds; but Spike (William Poole), boyfriend to Masha, is the outlier. Durang laces the comedy with many lifts and themes from Chekhov (there are cherry trees, if not quite an orchard), and he playfully considers the Russian playwright’s relevance to modern-day neurotics like these. Says one, “If everyone took antidepressants, Chekhov would have had nothing to write about.” BRIAN MILLER ACT Theatre, 700 Union St., 292-7676. $55 and up.

Hamlet The prodigiously pliable Mary Ewald stars as young Hamlet, shedding decades off her impressive odometer with astutely formulated adolescent smoldering. Under the unambiguous direction of John Kazanjian, the play’s twists and shadows have never been more comprehensible to me. There are also many gems among the supporting performances. A svelte Peter Crook scrumptiously deadpans Polonius’ insouciant hot air. Tim Gouran’s Laertes self-detonates as only Gouran can. And the various lesser characters played by Brandon Simmons and Scott Ward Abernethy manifest more secret personality than many a principal character in other productions. Quibbles? Kristen Kosmas seems too mature for Ophelia, Todd Jefferson Moore’s wide-eyed, doddering Claudius too broad. Kazanjian stages the famous bedroom scene between Hamlet and Queen Gertrude (Elizabeth Kenny) with zero Oedipal tension, and the fight choreography is a bit tentative. Still, I found myself riveted by this tiny yet immersive production, where Nina Moser’s set evokes a compact, creepy Elsinore with candlelight and brick.

Fail Better Samuel Beckett’s admonition to “fail better” seems like a perfect fit for the kinetic artists of UMO Ensemble, whose physical practice is full of risk and challenge. Says the company, “Beckett’s writings speak directly to physical enterprise: walking, balancing, throwing, eating, hanging, and spinning.” For its contribution to the Seattle Beckett Festival, UMO is translating seven of the playwright’s philosophical conundrums into a kind of circus program. There, juggling, teeter-totters, and trapezes are the tools used to explore his existential imperatives. Elizabeth Klob directs a cast of four.

Shaprece CD REVIEW: Shaprece, Molting EP (out now, self-released via Noisetrade, shaprece.com) One listen to this album makes it clear that Shaprece is one of the most innovative artists in Seattle. Negotiating the boundaries between trip hop and chamber pop, each of its six tracks (five new songs, one remix by Blue Sky Black Death) is a world unto itself, with atmospheric electronics, orchestral strings, deep bass, and layers of vocals. Amid it all, Shaprece’s voice-restrained and intimate, with a quiet power-weaves a tale of unrequited love and loss. “Her Song” stands out for its straightforward storytelling, lush orchestration, and beautifully harmonized chorus: “Stop sabotaging her song for you/Why won’t you let it play?/Such a beautiful melody interrupted by the rain.” MFB McCaw Hall (Seattle Center), 321 Mercer St., Seattle, WA 98109 Varies, see ticket link Saturday, November 22, 2014, 9am
