In February, Hale’s Palladium will host a special double-feature of live theater, with two productions on limited runs in Seattle.

First off, from February 6^th – 23^rd, Frank Olivier returns to Fremont with his unusual one-man vaudeville Twisted Cabaret, this time with a seasonal demented Valentine’s twist. Sweethearts beware – Cupid is in the air! This wild 90-minute mix of cabaret, burlesque and theater – declared “wickedly funny” by the New York Times – careens from sword swallowing to pickpocket magic to a ballet performed entirely on a unicycle. Purchase tickets through Stranger Tickets, before the show sells out again.

Then, at weekend matinees from Feburary 8^th through 23^rd, enjoy cruel banter and child-hating wonderfulness with the U.S. Premiere of the ‘I Hate Children’ Children’s Magic Show. A smash hit for four years at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, magician/performer Paul Nathan absolutely delights children and adults with this show of magic and sarcasm, with live music by John Anaya. The one-hour show gets every child 8 years-old and older up on stage to participate in the antics. Post-show, kids and parents can meet-n-greet their new favorite magician. Purchase tickets, costing between $15 and $35, through Stranger Tickets.

Take time this February to enjoy some unusual, outrageous and never-before-experienced live performances. Order tickets now, before time passes by and the opportunity vanishes!
