Seattle Rep Presents The Vaudevillians
(10/3 to 11/2, times vary) — Performer Jerick Hoffer—aka Jinkx Monsoon—is at it again with this revival of a sold-out off-Broadway hit. Hoffer plays Kitty Witless, a vaudevillian who with her sidekick, Dr. Dan Von Dandy, was frozen while on tour in Antarctica in the 1920s. Thanks to global warming, the pair has emerged from the ice to find that many of their hits have been misinterpreted by such upstarts as Janis Joplin and Gloria Gaynor.
