Kaleidoscope Eyes: Songs for Busby Berkeley

Written and performed by Chris Jeffries. Directed by Ed Hawkins

Chris Jeffries, writer/ composer of beloved Seattle musicals VERA WILDE, THE FATTY ARBUCKLE SPOOKHOUSE REVUE, and I SEE LONDON, I SEE FRANCE brings the work of Busby Berkeley to life with a 75-minute live music performance featuring sixteen film sequences from the legendary Hollywood choreographer. Berkeley almost single-handedly defined the cinematic language of the Hollywood musical with his dazzling innovations in the design, scale, and presentation of production numbers as well as the revolutionary camera techniques employed to capture them on film. Jeffries and six vocalists will accompany the visual spectacles with live renditions of all-new songs. $15/ $12 NWFF members.
