T he catalog of productions which have played in Spokane spans well over three decades and reads like a who’s who of iconic and prestigious musical and drama presentations. Les Miserables; Miss Saigon; Phantom Of The Opera; The Sound Of Music; Rent; Disney’s The Lion King; 42nd Street; Annie; Mamma Mia; and Beautiful, the Carole King musical, are to name but a few. This 2019 season we can look forward to Legally Blonde the musical; School Of Rock; the return of Les Miserables (which actually happens to be Jack’s favorite); the percussive Stomp, Rain, a musical tribute to The Beatles; and there may be more super surprises in the pipeline. One of the newest Broadway productions that Jack would like to see brought to Spokane for a future STCU Best of Broadway run is the highly acclaimed Lin-Manuel Miranda musical Hamilton. 50 ART CHOWDER MAGAZINE
