“I knew not what laughter, tears, electricity, chemistry and cohesion awaited inside the doors of Seattle Center Theatre at Sound Theatre’s production of Andrew Lippa’s THE WILD PARTY, but I exited having witnessed what was clearly a highpoint of not just the sleepy summer but the whole 2013 calendar year theatre season in Seattle. …THE WILD PARTY is one you wish didn’t have to end.”

“Not only is it a sultry good time but the fear, love, lust, anger and danger coming off the cast is palpable…This production is a complete and utter winner. I was sincerely blown away by the piece and this will be the one for the season you will regret if you miss…do not miss it!”
– Jay Irwin, Broadway World
“Spectacular new production directed by Corey D. McDaniel…With choreography by Jessica Low and musical direction by Carl Petrillo, the party pulsates with dance numbers and euphonic rhythms in which the story of a love quadrangle is told in a quasi-Brechtian and operatic style…In short, Sound Theatre Company has another hit on their hands with “The Wild Party,” and I am so happy to see this theatre company become a force with which to be reckoned in the Seattle theatre scene. Congratulations cast and crew!” – Scott Taylor, Seattle Stage Revue
“There is nothing more exciting for the avid theater-goer than to see a production that you’ve been looking forward to and find that it is more powerful, more expertly performed and more artistically satisfying than you had hoped. That’s certainly the case with Sound Theatre Company’s production of “The Wild Party”…It is certainly one of the very best productions I’ve seen this season…. Sound Theatre Company may be a “small” organization, but you won’t find a bigger show, both in intention and execution, anywhere in Seattle. This is one party that no one who was present will ever forget.” – Jerry Kraft, Seattle Actor

“A wild party indeed, a jazz age bacchanal…this amazingly ambitious production by a small theatre company is amazingly well done. …this is a party you won’t forget. ” – Nancy Worssam, Seattle Rage, Arts Stage
“Much of the actors’ successes have to do with the raw power of their voices and bodies…the sheer expenditure of erotic energies in a variety of modes and combinations.” – Charles Mudede, The Stranger
