Thursday, Dec. 4: Seattle Men's Chorus "...Our Gay Apparel"

Pantages Theater

By Christian Carvajal on December 1, 2014

Did you know Seattle boasts one of the largest community choruses in America? Did you know that justly revered group is making its way south to Tacoma this week? Better recognize! The Seattle Men's Chorus is celebrating its 35th season, so all 300-plus members are dressed up with someplace to go. The organization has hosted such Broadway superstars as Kristin Chenoweth, Megan Hilty and Debbie Reynolds. Now its members are stars in their own right, performing for over 30,000 people a year. That's not even counting the two and a half million people who watched their Cole Porter special Swellegant Elegance on PBS. It's estimated that one out of every six TVs in the Pacific Northwest was tuned to their 1990 telecast, Radio Craze. Not to put too fine a point on it, these guys are the most successful gay men's chorus on the face of the earth. They've remained out and proud since their debut in 1979, standing tall as a united "voice for acceptance" both here and abroad.
