Another week, another roundup of great theater on stages around the South Sound. Here are several shows worth watching:



Jenifer Lewis stars in one of the best musicals ever written as Hello Dolly takes the 5th Avenue stage for the first time in 27 years. The story follows the tale of Dolly as she sets out to play matchmaker to a set of clients that includes herself when she eyes the wallet of half-millionaire Horace Vandergelder (played by Almost Live alum Pat Cashman). This was a great show not just for the storyline but because of the voices. Heck, even Cashman has a set of pipes worth listening to in their own way.



The goofy Broadway musical Seussical, a fun-filled show based on the characters of Dr. Seuss, ends its run this weekend at Encore.



Another fun family show is You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, which is making its run at Olympia Family Theater. This comic-strip-come-to-life shows a day in the life of the lovable loser, Charlie Brown. Although he lives his life consumed by his insecurities, he has a seemingly endless supply of hope.



Tacoma Musical Playhouse is staging a theater version of Footloose, the classic 1980s movie starring Kevin Bacon in the role that defined him for a generation as he battles against the old farts of the town so he and his friends can dance to the devil’s music.



For a political bent, Lauren Weedman will perform at the Washington Center. This chick is considered by some as the female Robin Williams.
