BWW Review: SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER at Arvada Center
The year is 1977 and Disco is the name of the game. Brooklyn is overrun with small gangs and poverty, but club 2001 Odyssey is the oasis that all the well-dressed dancing youths flock to. Inside the doors of the club, the rules change, and dreams are made and broken on the glowing dance floor. Arvad...
BWW Review: MATILDA THE MUSICAL at Buell Theatre

BWW Reviews: THE SPITFIRE GRILL at Vintage Theatre

BWW Reviews: MARY POPPINS at BDT Stage
'Mary Poppins' is a film classic that children of all ages have enjoyed for many years.

BWW Reviews: 42ND STREET at Lakewood Cultural Center
Few shows capture the glamour and spectacle of the original Ziegfeld Follies as well as 42nd Street. The elaborate showgirl numbers and huge dancing choruses were the stuff of legend, and provided the inspiration for many gaudy Broadway musicals. While the show mocks some of the silliness of the ori...
BWW Reviews: Theatreworks Spins Tall Tales With THE LIAR
Caught somewhere between classical and modern modes, The Liar is a truly entertaining evening....
BWW Reviews: THE PILLOWMAN at The Bug Theatre
Razorblade-stuffed apples, body mutilation, and being buried alive: all the stuff of nightmares, right? Such are the elements of the twisted short stories that are a key element in The Pillowman. And how does one combine these gruesome elements into a story that is still palatable enough to sit thro...
BWW Reviews: A LATE SNOW at SET
Written just over forty years ago, Jane Chambers' A Late Snow shouldn't be controversial anymore. Yet here it is, 2015, and the church I drive past on the way to the store has a sign out front declaring, 'DON'T GIVE IN TO THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA,' so it's safe to say that SET's latest production will ...

BWW Reviews: A Journey of 4000 MILES at the FAC
Her name was Lee Joseph. She passed away in 2013 at the age of 96, after what was in every sense of the term a full life. She hung around with the sort of people who got called before the HUAC, was married for a time to Arthur Herzog, Jr. (who co-wrote the Billie Holliday standard 'God Bless the Chi...
BWW Reviews: DRAG MACHINE at Garner Galleria Theater, DCPA
The Denver Center's Garner Galleria Theater is home to some very interesting cabaret-type shows. The most colorful, of late, has been Drag Machine, an original work that combines a traditional drag show with a narrative about the history of drag culture....
