Must Laugh
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.

Must Hear
Seattle Symphony Performs Works from Antonín Dvořák

(10/2 to 10/4, times vary) — Late-20th-century Czech composer Antonín Dvořák dominates the season at the Seattle Symphony, with Ludovic Morlot conducting several of his masterworks over three weeks. We suggest the performance of Symphony No. 9 in E minor (aka “From the New World”), the energetic, rhythmic work Dvořák wrote when he was living in New York City.
