Shows to See at the Paramount Theatre in the Emerald City

If you know of anyone complaining that nothing to do, let them know right now that they are so wrong! If you live in Central Washington and don't mind making the drive up to Seattle, I've got three excellent Broadway shows plus two out-of-the-ordinary experiences that you might find to be worth the drive, tickets, and parking prices!

Locals Tip: Save your cash by using the Sound Transit Park and Ride system. It is free to park if you use the Link or city bus and most rides to downtown are 30 minutes or less! Here is a list of park & rides.
