Come see this compelling and wonderfully executed drama and decide for yourself - 'What Would You Do?' if faced with the same ethical vs.
The history of 'the butler did it' as a mystery plot device is filled with old-fashioned classism.
'No Guts, No Story' - Never has Curious Theatre lived up to their mantra more than in this kinky, intellectual oddity.
The ensemble as a whole was solid and worked so well together as a cohesive unit on this disturbing drama.
I was encouraged to see so many students in the audience experiencing this required reading masterpiece in a whole new light.
Sometimes less is more, but in this case more is more.
She took her spirited audience on a fun and fantastic journey as she once again charmed and delighted everyone with her quick wit and sassy ways.
Forever Plaid has what is probably my favorite premise for a revue show: on February 9th, 1964, a close-harmony quartet called Forever Plaid is on their way to their first big show when their car crashes with a bus and all four members are killed.
I laughed, I gasped, and during one shocking surprise moment….
From the singing, to the staging, and the multimedia effects, every song was a performance work of art and captivated me from beginning to end!
You will laugh, you will cry, but ultimately you will be moved by these exceptional performances.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this fun-filled children's show and found myself laughing throughout from the adult humor sprinkled in the script.
Dixie Longate brings all of her Southern sassy and trashy ways to make this a night that audiences will never forget!
What truly impressed me about this show and Judy's demise were the layers involved in her downward spiral and elevating this play with the absolutely stunning musical numbers.
This show and their cast are absolutely outstanding and that is abundantly apparent from the very successful sold-out run that they have been having!
While the physical staging and door play were spot on, it was the interpretation of the genius comedic dialogue that kept getting lost in the shuffle.
Theatreworks sure knows how to set a scene.
The performance on Thursday evening carried more than the usual share of preview jitters: lines were stumbled over, cues missed, and overall the performance did not attain the level of professionalism that the FAC is capable of providing.
In addition to a surprise jam session at the Hard Rock Cafe in Denver that was impressive and awesome; I was able to sit down with these talented musicians to discusss the tour, inspirations and challenges in playing these iconic roles.
When you are dealing with one of the most beloved children's love stories of all time, there is a delicate balance between the story and the dance.
The longest running play on London's West End (62 years), THE MOUSETRAP by Agatha Christie comes to the Arvada Center and plays now through February 23rd.
