Seven Deadly Zins

If you are fortunate enough to live in or visit Seattle or San Francisco and can scrape together the green, go see Teatro Zinzanni. I’ve been twice now. They change the show three times a year, but the basic concept is the same: “Love, Chaos & Dinner.” The current show is “Under the Gypsy Moon.” How appropriate! We were probably the only people there singing along with the gypsy songs. I give you my TZ Seven Deadly Zins, in video form. Actually, I couldn’t do justice to sloth and wrath, so I tossed in extra helpings of lust and envy:

LUST 1: Bernard Hazens

GLUTTONY: I have never had dinner served by passionately tangoing couples whose final flourish was a sweeping dip to pull the covers from our steaming plates. The food was good too.

GREED: In the lobby there’s a boutique filled with decadent playthings. I wanted it all. The whole look. But settled for a little sparkly butterfly hair clip. Purple, of course. But in my heart I wanted this:

LUST 2: Ben Wendell of Duo Madrona

ENVY 1: Blues legend Duffy Bishop. I so want to be her.

ENVY 2: But I want Elena Borodina’s body:

VANITY: I could do this. I really could. OK, well maybe not the hand balancing thing. But the diva thing. And the comedy thing. Right? Where do I sign up?
