Taylor Hicks again takes the “Sold Out” stage as he and the cast of “Grease” play to a packed house in their final performance tonight at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in Seattle.
Wednesday night’s “Sold Out” Shadow Tour party at The Triple Door was an all-out last hurrah for the West Coast according to reports and videos. It was jamming on a week night as Taylor showed up in style with guitar and harmonica tuned to hot and an A-list of Saturday night musicians behind him turning up the heat. Seattle got a full energized dose of Taylor Hicks live on stage!
If the meter measured fun, The Triple Door audience scored big! The whole West Coast scored big as Taylor spent the last three months living and working in the neighborhood where it all started on American Idol. In a grueling schedule of eight shows a week starring as Teen Angel in “Grease,” four solo Shadow Tour shows and endless media appearances and performances in every city, Taylor was on the move. He also released his new album, The Distance, on his own label, Modern Whomp Records and shot a music video for the second single, “Seven Mile Breakdown,” without skipping a beat in “Beauty School Dropout.” Frenchy is still going back to high school. And Taylor even learned to “tweet” on the Left Coast!
The fun is about to wind down in the West. After closing in Seattle tonight, Taylor travels with “Grease” to Appleton, Wisconsin, opening on June 2nd and continues appearing in the East and South into next year.
Get ready Deeeetroit! Taylor’s next Shadow Tour appearance is at the Magic Bag in Ferndale, Michigan, on June 22th. Motown is going to know that Taylor Hicks is in town!
From Seattle, “Sold out” is a nice way to go!
Safe travels to all…
Note: From here, it seems like the best of times and the worst of times…it doesn’t get any better for a stage entertainer than “Sold Out.” How very cool that Taylor Hicks can leave the West Coast this way!
But leave he must. It’s been an amazing three months out here. Of course, he will be jetting back and forth—often, we hope. And we’ll be doing a little jetting ourselves. It’s been amazing to have him in our corner of the world.
Thanks, Taylor, for coming and hanging out for a while!

" Do you want what's behind door # 1, or door #2 or door #3 ," says Monty ( Hicks ) Hall.
Door # 1 is Taylor the musician as exemplified by his wonderful concert performances.
Door #2 is Taylor the musical stage performer as seen in 'Grease' as "Teen Angel".
Door #3 is Taylor the songwriter as exhibited by the many songs he has written for his CD's.
A TRIPLE THREAT: No wonder he had to appear at the TRIPLE DOOR in Seattle. No other venue would showcase the THREE FACES OF TAYLOR .
I wanted deperately to say dancer for door number three......just couldn't ..........yet.
I'm happy that Taylor is headed back to us on the east coast, but it is a little sad that he is leaving the west coast.
I can't hardly wait to see him in Grease, when it hits the state of FL. Also, a shadow tour somewhere in FL would be so sweet.
Thanks, RagsQueen, for gorgeous pictures from The Triple Door!
I like your analogy, Cath, about the Triple Door! BTW, the show was fabulous!
Always a pleasure to share my goodies!
And Seattle was definitely good to and for Taylor!
Wonderful recap of his time in Seattle, yes they did like him and embraced him while he was there. The pictures are great, thanks to all for bringing Taylor to those who could not travel to see him.
