The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Colorado.
While I do appreciate the liberties some directors take in exploring classics with alternative/parallel universes and the whole "what if?" scenario, sometimes a classic is best left a classic.
Curious Theatre presents their first show of the New Year and it's a compelling doozy!
This play is a painfully tender and realistic story that has refreshing grit to it and is fearless in its exploration of abject depression, body image as it relates to emotions, familial estrangements, religion, and death.
I can honestly say this performance was life changing for me, offering a broadened perspective that blasts stereotypes right out of the water.
From its gravity-defying acrobatics and smooth dance numbers to its lovable characters and toe-tapping music and lyrics, this show made me squeal like a 12-year-old girl at cheer camp!
When dealing with smart comedic timing such as Coward's, one must examine what works to enhance the show and what doesn't.
When we actors are starting out, we have to pay our dues, whether it's performing in dinner theatres, amusement parks, or cruise ship entertainment.
Multi-Tony award winning choreographer and director Jerome Robbins gives us a contemporary version of Arthur Laurents' classic book.
Ladies and gents, put on your zoot suits and convertible attire, sweep up your hair (or slick it back) and head to the show!
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.
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.
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.
