'A Streetcar Named Desire'
Some dis Blanche, some dis Stanley, and everyone agrees that the sound design is a hate crime. Despite all its flaws, Intiman's Streetcar is the rare revival worth getting yourself to the theater for. Tennessee Williams's poetic potboiler is brought to gripping new life by an inventive cast (best in show: Chelsey Rives, whose Stella is a revelation) but the true star, as always, is Tennessee Williams. (Intiman Theater, 201 Mercer Street, 269-1900. 7:30 pm, $42–$47. Through Aug 2.)

Sold Out! Any ideas how one could still get tickets?
They sell 20 Standing Room Only tickets when the show is sold out (for $20.00 over the phone with a $2.00 or at the box office), and you can pick up entrance numbers after 5pm. They let SRO ticket holders in at 5 to show, and you can sit in available seats or stand. I did this last night and sat in the second row of the center section.
Yeah, just call ahead for a standing room only ticket.
I also went as a standee last night. Stood for the first 90 mins and then was seated in the second row for the final act.
The show was great! Kudos to the ASL interpreters. I went because I'm an ASL student at UW and I really got a lot out of watching those two.
