Winter to Spring
SPECIAL SECTION / seattletimes.com
A guide to the season’s best entertainment and arts
The arts are in the air. In the winter.
Yes indeed, the area’s arts scene is just as
lively and varied during the winter and
spring as it is during the fall. But in the past,
this newspaper has limited its seasonal arts
previews to the Fall Arts Guide and the Holiday Entertainment Guide, shortchanging
the winter and spring months.
Well no more. Today we present The Seattle Times Winter & Spring Arts Guide, a
list of arts-and-entertainment highlights
from the nightlife scene (including con-
Highlights inside
Theater
“The Seafarer,” “Frost/Nixon,”
“Crime and Punishment” > 2
Pop, jazz and comedy

certs, clubs, jazz/world and comedy), theater, classical music, dance, books and authors, and visual arts. We’ve compiled them
all — with top picks from our staff writers
and critics — in a handy, keep-and-save, 12page pullout section, inside the regular
MovieTimes pullout.
Since this week’s NWTicket is really three
sections in one, you might find it easier to
read if you pull the book apart.
NWTicket — A&E for the week ahead,
Feb. 6-12.
MovieTimes — Movie reviews and showtimes.
Winter & Spring Arts Guide — A&E highlights from today through May.
For constantly updated listings, new
shows, cancellations and reviews, keep
reading The Seattle Times: in print on the
Monday-Saturday Your pages in the B section, in NW Arts & Life on Sundays, and
NWTicket every Friday; and every day at
seattletimes.com/entertainment.

Three won kudos in London and New York: “The Seafarer,” a study of fraying male friendships by Irish
dramatist Conor McPherson (at Seattle Repertory Theatre); “The History Boys,” Alan Bennett’s take on
ambitious English schoolboys and their eccentric teacher (at ArtsWest); and Peter Morgan’s play
“Frost/Nixon,” a keen look backstage at former President Nixon’s momentous TV interview with talk-show
host David Frost. (“Frost/Nixon,” coming to the Paramount Theatre, beats the Oscar-nominated movie
version in sheer immediacy.)
Book-It Repertory Theatre unveils “The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears,” a new work based on Dinaw
Mengestu’s novel about an Ethiopian immigrant finding his way in America.
For celebrity hounds, Carrie Fisher bares all in her solo memoir “Wishful Drinking” (at Seattle Rep).
And ACT and Intiman theaters open their 2009 seasons with fresh treatments of some superbly dark,
classic fiction: “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (at ACT) and “Crime and Punishment” (at Intiman).

If spring’s almost here, you know one thing: Major pop- and rock-music concerts are on their way.
The hottest pop ticket has to be Britney Spears. After her much-publicized meltdown and comeback, she’s returning with a full
arena tour, playing the Tacoma Dome on April 9. Continuing the pop trip, Lady GaGa is touring, too, singing in Seattle at the
Showbox at the Market on March 16.
In the hip-hop vein, the Blue Scholars and Common Market rap for three nights at Neumo’s mid-March. Another show not to miss
is Estelle. The singer — Kanye West’s muse on the single “American Boy” — sings at the Showbox at the Market on March 2. Later,
indie icon DJ Peanut Butter Wolf spins at Chop Suey on April 25.
For those hoping to make Mom all giddy, Barry Manilow is performing at a special benefit for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation on
March 15 at the Comcast Arena in Everett. Another idol of a similar era, Rick Springfield, plays the Emerald Queen Casino on April
24.
If Christian rock is your thing, mark your calendar for March 19. That’s when MercyMe, Jeremy Camp and Hawk Nelson — all
favorites in Christian contemporary — play KeyArena. Another popular singer, Chris Tomlin, is scheduled to perform the new
ShoWare Center in Kent on March 8.

Several names on the spring classical-music calendar have sellout potential. Among them: Violinist
Itzhak Perlman (Feb. 25); bandleader Doc Severinsen (Feb. 26-March 1); violinist Joshua Bell (April 19,
all at Benaroya Hall) and pianist Krystian Zimerman (April 21, at Meany Hall).
Also put your ticket requests in early for Mark Morris Dance Group, performing with the Seattle

It’s spring (well, almost) and time to dance, be it classic or contemporary. Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) presents Kent Stowell’s “Swan
Lake” in April, complete with Tchaikovsky and rows of white tutus, and the Mark Morris Dance Group returns to the Paramount in May
with “Mozart Dances,” an evening of work accompanied by the Seattle Symphony’s musicians. For something jazzier, PNB’s Broadway
Festival features Jerome Robbins’ “West Side Story Suite” and Susan Stroman’s “Take Five”; for drama, Spectrum Dance Theater
reprises Donald Byrd’s “The Theater of Needless Talents” and “Interrupted Narratives/War.”
