COLORADO THEATER REVIEWS

I must say this version feels more like A CHRISTMAS CAROL: THE MUSICAL! So I thoroughly enjoyed it, of course!...

THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER by Mark Twain and adapted for the stage by Laura Eason is currently delighting audiences at the Denver Center until December 18th. This classic follows Tom Sawyer and his parter in crime Huckleberry Finn as they live out their childhood adventures together. ...

But even as after school special as the show feels, it does make you think about things like fracturing and falling and failing. ...

Clue has nothing on this show! The anticipation of the murder was killing me! ...

To say that Julie Taymor is a genius would be repeating what every critic has said before me, but it is so damn true....

While the modern college-roomies milieu is an interesting concept, this particular production lacks the execution. ...

Quite honestly this is one of the most tender and touching shows I have ever had the pleasure of seeing....

5-6-7-8! This show is really great! ...

Nothing is going to harm you in the buffer zone. ...

The Denver Center gathers all of its veteran all-stars for this timeless masterpiece....

A groovy review and lessons in etiquette!...

Tonight our actors will be speaking entirely in verse. Seriously. No lie! ...

With a power upset among the lead characters, I got to see my favorite musical through a new pair of glasses!...

If these walls could talk, oh the stories they would tell. ...

I swear to God I only came down here for a glass of milk! ...

By bringing everyone into Jeff's mounting obsession through strategic revealing of his neighbors' various dilemmas, the audience is able to experience Jeff's increasing anxiety and feelings of helplessness and claustrophobia as events unfold....

The play essentially deals with the constant power and ego struggles of who is more important in the filmmaking process - the producer, the screenwriter, or the director?...

ON AN AVERAGE DAY by playwright John Kolvenbach is a bizarre story, but made for several funny (loved the fridge bit) and profoundly affecting (mania and depression) moments. At times I wondered if I was in a dirty kitchen or an insane asylum. When they warn of gunshots before entering the theater, ...

HAIRSPRAY makes its Denver regional debut at the Arvada Center and follows the crazy adventures of Tracy Turnblad, a girl with a big heart, big hair and big dreams of integration! ...

ROCK OF AGES is definitely our generation's first original rock musical - 'our generation' meaning us kids born in the '60s and '70s. With its totally bitchin' playlist of Top 40 '80s ballads and songs of rebellion, no wonder Hollywood is clamoring to make this into a movie. ...

Questions, confessions, morals and ethics are the name of the game in the fascinating play A NUMBER by Caryl Churchill. ...

What is Pride....a demonstration, celebration, or a fashion show?...

So what else can be said about BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL after rave reviews from London to Broadway and across the nation except for the reviewers are so right and this show deserved every Tony it has earned....

When your past hits you like a sledgehammer, how do you react and what do you do to improve the situation? This question is what is ultimately explored in this examination of character, trauma, and interpersonal dynamics....

Sex, drugs, deceit...and delicious dialogue! ...
