Can't Miss It: Wednesday
GAME ON: Aside from perhaps the theme of The Golden Girls, few melodies are so deeply entrenched in the collective mind that those composed for video games. The Seattle Symphony pays homage to the artistry of these tunes, burned into the collective mindset from repeated tries to kill the Bowzer or find Aeris, with "PLAY! A Video Game Symphony." Featuring the images of The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Halo, and other games, accompanied by the Symphony's rendition of the songs, "PLAY!" is a fun treat for gamers and classical music junkies alike.
PLAY! A Video Game Symphony // Benaroya Hall // 7:30 p.m. // $17-$90
CAN YOU?: While Pike Place may no longer the drag of iniquity that it was in its glory days, there mercifully still a few places to see a little something on a slow night. Wednesday nights at the Can Can, for example, are the perfect opportunity for a risque peak. WTF Wednesdays, featuring the Can Can Castaways, feature an ..."outrageous, provocative and sexy" lineup of talented burlesque artists, who are highly skilled at tapping in to the market's original, sinful roots. Did we mention that Happy Hour is all night? And no, that's not a euphemism.
WTF Wednesdays // The Can Can // 7:30 p.m. // $10-$45 // +21
