2008.7.4. A Marvelous Party - The Noel Coward Celebration, at ACT. A collection of more than 34 Coward tunes along with comedic sketches, anecdotes and musings. Devised by David Ira Goldstein, Carl Danielsen, Mark Anders, Patricia Wilcox and Anna Lauris. The Coconut Girl played by Lauris is hilarious. The piano duels were entertaining.
There was a little bit of hors d'œuvre (a veggie tray and some salmon sticks) laid out before the show. A pleasant surprise. I had to leave in the middle of the 2nd act, in order to catch the fireworks at Elliot Bay. Splendid as always.
