All this talk of Jinkx Monsoon puts me squarely in the mood for a magical night of musical theater (so campy, so fey, so tragically gay!), and lucky for everyone, my probably third-favorite musical of all flipping time is happening at ACT Theatre (in conjunction with the 5th Avenue), featuring every Seattleite’s most paranoid nightmare—big weed that overconsumes you.
