A new kind of dinner theater takes off in Seattle
19.05.12
It's the latest production from Café Nordo, a company dedicated to remaking dinner theater as we know it. Suburban dinner theaters tend to offer bland food and stage fare. Café Nordo isn't a cheap date, and it won't change the world. The destination is the Seattle World's Fair. Lurking in their midst are Russian, Chinese and CIA spies and a scientist bent on changing the world through. Seattle's Teatro ZinZanni serves continental cuisine with circus and cabaret trimmings. Welcome to Pan Am flight 892, otherwise known as "To Savor Tomorrow," at the West of Lenin theater in Fremont. But it promises something different — and is growing enough of a fan base to warrant its own venue (with a flexible stage and, hopefully, an on-site kitchen). convenience food. Perky stewardesses, wearing powder-blue suits and glossy perma-smiles, serve cocktails and a four-course meal, along with vivacious song
and design routines. The year is 1962.
