Elite Event @ Teatro Zinzanni!

Katy knows how to throw an event!!!
I am becoming more and more eager to go to Elite Events that Katy puts on…
Each one tops the previous and this one topped them all!!!
I had never been and the brief show we saw has definitely tempted me to go back for the whole experience!!!
Add onto that, great food and free champagne, amazing costumes (by both performers and fellow Unilocalers) and friendly staff with a full bar if you wanted something other than champagne.
I believe my +1 had a good time. He has been previously, knows some of the staff and I believe some of the performers.
A definite 5 star event!!!

Am Am Am Ammmmm’azing! Teatro Zinzanni has been one of those key Seattle «things to do» that well, I haven’t done! Mostly due to its hefty price tag but after getting a little sneak peek at the wonders beneath this cirque-​like tent, I’d say it’s definitely worth it for a special night out.
The night was full of glitter, masks and intrigue, very bendy acrobats swirled above the middle of the dining floor while copious, endless streams of champagne magically kept ending up on our table. We joked that we had become YAA, Unilocalers Alcoholics Anonymous — our table was completely covered with glasses.
Food bites were divine: creamy salmon enveloped in crisp cucumber cups, walnut/​gorgonzola bruschetta and some divine chicken bites. Tom Douglas, you never disappoint and neither do you Katy! Your ringmaster costumer was spot on & thank you for having the sense to wear pants, especially around «Katy’s Mom» and «Katy’s Dad.» =)
Only wee sadness was that the preview was so short, guess that just means I’ll have to come back soon!

Fantastic event — we had a blast! It has been several years since we’d been to Teatro ZinZanni so I had never seen the new space. It is gorgeous. We even got a little mini tour from El Vez! The trapeze act was stunning and the champagne was flowing freely. I was also very impressed by their gift shop, everything I looked at was lovely and the prices seemed reasonable. They’ve also got some specials running for upcoming dates where tickets are $ 69/​person. I think that will be enough to entice me back! Bravo, Teatro ZinZanni.
It was also great to meet and chat with a bunch of new Unilocalers! Thank you Katie for such a wonderful event.

–The outfits were red, black, sexy, FAB.
–Free champagne, thankyouverymuch.
–Trapeze artists (athletes?) made me want to come back for more.
–I met 3 fantastic women: Vanessa H, Clover, and Uhura. I am dying to spend more time with you ladies. charming, witty, beautiful.
–Yelpers know how to have a good time; we know this because of the AFTER PARTY at the Pink Door which was OFF THE HIZZY HOOK!!! We sat with the French male acrobat and fabulous Unilocalers, dined on delicious noshes, danced to the eccentric music, laughed and took pictures.
–Leonardo you should wear a suit every day.
–Katy you’re a fab ringleader if I do say so myself. Even IF you didn’t recognize me wearing the black bandit mask…

I’ve always wanted to go to Teatro Zinzanni, this EE gave me a perfect chance to taste the experience. It was a small, but lasting bite, and I can see how a full dinner/​show at TZ would totally rock out!
Side note: I could have gone to TZ for my 30^th birthday but I went to Forks instead. Hahaha.
Anyhoo, we were checked in by the lovely Katy, Kira, and Jenni who provided our nametags and a brief overview of the evening’s events.
Inside TZ, they had a couple backdrops for great photos, a gift shop area where you could buy masks, feathers, and other souvenirs. The restrooms were pretty swank — the ceiling was rows upon rows of plush velvet pillows! They were clean and well stocked, with plenty of mirrors for one to adjust make up and feathers. There was also a coat check available because fishnet tights simply do not have pockets for your keys or phone, right?
In the bar area there was face painting which looked super fun and the staffers were churning out trays of bubbly (complimentary) or mixed drinks (for fee). The servers were very nice and friendly. Eventually we realized that we should head into the stage area and score some primo seats so we did that and received some Unilocal swag — compli-​MINTS, a poncho (made a brief appearance back in May), a beaded necklace which read «Show me your Unilocal» (or something, it was cute). There were also coupons for returning to TZ and photo session from one of the photographers that night which we snapped up. Thanks!
Anticipation was building for the show, but we busied ourselves with the various small bites circulating — caprese (didn’t try), goat cheese crostini, chicken on puffed pastry, salmon mouse in cucumber, and chocolate-​covered strawberries. WOO! It was a time getting the servers’ attention (I swear they kept skipping our table every time) but it was part of the fun and eventually we got our bites. :)
Velvet suit man began his announcements and introduced the talents and kinds of show TZ regularly puts on. Katy made her speech and told us her folks were in attendance, cute! There were two winners from the dress-​up contest (Congrats to Clover and the other gal… I missed her name, sorry). I bet the prize was awesome!
The actual show featured an aerialist pair from Canada. They were effortlessly flowing from one pose to the next, all without a drop to the main floor. Or breathing heavily! It was about 10−15mins and then we were off to circulate, mingle, and take fun pics. I saw a lot of people I haven’t seen since the start of summer, which was soooooooo much fun. The venue also allowed for actual conversations (and not the yelling kind) which was appreciated.
Thanks for everything! We are looking forward to coming back for real!
