The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Colorado.
There are roles that come along that are opportunities of a lifetime and Violet Weston is one of them.
I have to say that this is one of Arvada Center's finest productions to date, hitting every comedic note flawlessly much to the delight of the audience!
I have to say that I did not expect to like this show as much as I did, but it was simply a delight to watch about a topic that I never thought I would ever see on this award-winning stage!
ASSASSINS or as I like to call it, 'Killers in Purgatory' is a controversial show, especially given the unfortunate events that occurred in Colorado at the beginning of the summer that are still haunting so many of us today.
This American classic tickled every gay bone in my body!
This ensemble was full of quirky characters and outstanding performances.
This twisted show was outrageously offensive and Denver couldn't get enough!
That's when it hit me - while my generation (Gen X) had their defining musical, fondly known as RENT, this was an entirely new generations musical.
One thing that I love about community theater is that you get all walks of life, be it young or old that have a passion for performing; and the one thing that stands out above all the other elements is heart.
Usually directors tell actors they are being over-the-top and need to pull it back, but exactly the opposite needed to happen with this production.
New menu items and a totally adorable show make for a lovely evening!
This show is a PBS After School Special of the very naughty kind!
Simply put, this play is a work of art thanks to genius directing, a wonderful natural set, and two amazing performances!
Malvolio is much, much darker and when he vows revenge in the last scene it comes off as ominous and sinister.
This is one of the aspects I truly adore about Spark Theater--the intamacy.
Do not take your hair out of those curlers, grab a lawn chair and a PBR and go see this instant cult-classic!
THE DROWSY CHAPERONE is truly a gay, show-within-a-show romp for the ages.
This show is so witty, so odd, so.
So this is what happens when everything goes right in a production.
The players went through the blocking just fine, but never truly embodied or developed the characters to the depths of their potential emotional scope.
This is really a funny and lighthearted play that highlights the technological promises of a new century and offers a fascinating glimpse into Denver history.
This show has the cutting wit that I so enjoy and almost literally had me on the floor with laughter.
Marcia Ragonetti is the very embodiment of Callas, an eerie reanimation of this demanding diva.
As is typical of Del Shores plays, SBS deals with real social and emotional issues, but does so in a way that makes us laugh at ourselves while nudging us to question our own prejudices in thinking and behavior.
This show haunted my lovely companion and me for days afterwards.
