WITH A FIVE-COURSE FEAST. Each tasty course is intertwined with the show
T
plot. Presented in the round, the entertainment unfolds above and alongside the audience as they dine on a gourmet meal. The show and menu changes quarterly, but there are constant themes of improv comedy, vaudeville revue, music, dance, circus arts and sensuality. Many of the performers have worked with Cirque du Soleil and renowned European circuses. Running through January 2012 is the witty Bon-
soir Liliane!, directed by legendary Broadway star Tommy Tune and starring Dame Liliane Montevec- chi, a Tony Award winner. Other notables in the cast are Ariana Lallone, fresh from her 24-year stint as a principal dancer at Pacific Northwest Ballet, and Kevin Kent, one of the original Teatro ZinZanni per- formers and a crowd favorite. “The show has many new items -- it’s a new original show,” explained Tina Gonsalves, director
EATRO ZINZANNI
IS A THREE-HOUR
SHOWCASE OF QUALITY CIRCUS ARTS, COMEDY AND CABARET ACCOMPANIED
of communications for Teatro ZinZanni. “It’s a first for Tommy and Ariana to work with Teatro ZinZanni, and we have a new executive chef, Erik Carlson, who has created a wonderful new menu with a French flair.” Carlson, along with his team of sous chefs,
sommeliers and bartenders, have created a delectable multi-course feast with an unques- tionably French flair to complement the decid- edly French star, Liliane Montevecchi. Menu selections are elaborate yet accessible, such as the wild mushrooms served in light puff pastry dough and sprinkled with smoked pepper. The current dessert offering is a creative hazelnut & Frangelico touille cookie, garnished with fruit sorbet, cinnamon-vanilla cream and a salted caramel stick. Although there is no nudity in the evening
show, there are adult themes, so this may not be a good choice for families with young chil- dren. The weekend brunch, however,
is de-
signed to be more family-friendly; check on specifics when reserving.
