NEWsical The Musical

September 7 - 25, 2022

The Garner Galleria Theatre

Direct from New York - the 5th longest running musical in Off-Broadway history is coming to Denver. Winner of the Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Musical, NEWSical is the hilarious, ever evolving, always changing, up-to-the-minute musical comedy of all the news that's fit to spoof. Through sketches, parodies, and original music, NEWSical tackles everything from the lowest depths of reality television to the highest office in the land.

The Crown Live!

November 2-20, 2022

The Garner Galleria Theatre

Two actors reimagine the story of how Elizabeth Windsor became Queen Elizabeth II (and recreate the resplendent Netflix show) in 80 minutes of frenetic hat-passing, period accents and corgi impressions. A perfect treat for both fans of the show keenly waiting for the fifth season - and for those wondering what all the fuss is about. This new comedy comes from the pen of parodic mastermind Daniel Clarkson, co-creator of Olivier Award nominee Potted Potter. Having been cruelly overlooked for her dream role as Queen Elizabeth in blockbuster series The Crown, budding starlet Beth brings her own take on the epic story of the Royal Family to the stage instead... with her agent Stanley coerced into playing (almost) all the other roles - from Prince Philip to Princess Margaret, and all the commoners in between.

Forbidden Broadway: The Next Generation

December 7, 2022 - January 1, 2023

The Garner Galleria Theatre

The Tony Award-winning Forbidden Broadway, Gerard Alessandrini's hilarious musical spoof of Broadway's biggest shows and brightest stars, comes to Denver with the all-new edition Forbidden Broadway: The Next Generation. Up to the minute spoofs include comic looks at Moulin Rouge! The Musical, the all-Yiddish Fiddler on the Roof, Hadestown, last season's Oklahoma! revival, along with Dear Evan Hansen, Tootsie, Beetlejuice, Frozen, and a whole new generation of Broadway stars, plus exciting turns by Bette Midler, Andre De Shields, Bernadette Peters, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and some classic laughs from The Lion King, Wicked, Phantom, Les Miz and others.

STOMP

February 21-26, 2023

The Buell Theatre

STOMP is explosive, inventive, provocative, witty, and utterly unique-an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered armfuls of awards and rave reviews and has appeared on many national television shows. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments - matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps - to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms.

The performers "make a rhythm out of anything we can get our hands on that makes a sound," says co-founder/director Luke Cresswell. A unique combination of percussion, movement and visual comedy, STOMP has created its own inimitable, contemporary form of rhythmic expression: both household and industrial objects find new life as musical instruments in the hands of an idiosyncratic band of body percussionists. It is a journey through sound, a celebration of the everyday and a comic interplay of characters wordlessly communicating through dance and drum. STOMP, see what all the noise is about.
