Seattle earns its standing ovations with world-class theater that will leave you wanting more!
Seattle’s lively theatre scene is second to none. Catch a bold new premiere or an inventive interpretation of the classics at Seattle Repertory Theatre or ACT. Be dazzled by a blockbuster Broadway show at the historic Paramount Theatre or 5th Avenue Theatre. If cirque and magic is more your style, don’t miss the unique Teatro ZinZanni experience. Housed in a stunning antique cabaret tent, it has delighted audiences with a fine blend of comedy, cirque and cuisine since 1998.
