Review: TICK, TICK... BOOM! Blows it Out of the Water at Vintage Theatre

Review: TICK, TICK... BOOM! Blows it Out of the Water at Vintage Theatre

by Jon Bee — March 28, 2023
What did our critic think of TICK, TICK... BOOM! at Vintage Theatre? Jonathan Larson is one of those artists who, because they died young (and infamously), will live on through their treasured work. Rent, of course, is the big one for him. Though his lesser known work, Tick, Tick... Boom! ...

Review: National Tour of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF Establishes a New 'Tradition' at DCPA

by Jon Bee — March 16, 2023
What did our critic think of NATIONAL TOUR OF FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at DCPA? The summer after high school, I was in a local community theatre production of Fiddler on the Roof.

Review: HOTTER THAN EGYPT at DCPA Theatre Company

by Jon Bee — March 8, 2023
What did our critic think of HOTTER THAN EGYPT at DCPA Theatre Company? Some say the world will end in fire - they must not be familiar with husbands who can be as cold as ice. Such is the case in DCPA's latest local production, Hotter than Egypt....
Review: LAUGHS IN SPANISH at DCPA is a New Classic in World Premiere Production

Review: LAUGHS IN SPANISH at DCPA is a New Classic in World Premiere Production

by Jon Bee — February 15, 2023
What did our critic think of LAUGHS IN SPANISH at DCPA Theatre Company? Theatre is often boiled down into two things: comedy and tragedy. From there, the seeds take root and bloom into a plethora of unique stories. However, I often find the greatest stories capture both elements and therefore are th...
Review: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD At The Buell Theatre Hurts as Much as it Heals

Review: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD At The Buell Theatre Hurts as Much as it Heals

by Chris Arneson — January 30, 2023
Directed by Bartlett Sher, the characters are fleshed out, a little more flawed than I remember. The children are played by adults, narrated with more self-awareness. It doesn't feel like nearly 3 hours of theatre....

Review: It's Grool. It's Fetch. It's Mean Girls the Musical.

by Chris Arneson — December 22, 2022
What did our critic think of MEAN GIRLS at DCPA?It's easy to be a bit of a mean girl when it comes to cult movies being adapted into musicals. They happen too often, and sometimes they're tragic.  Thankfully, not Mean Girls....

Review: AIN'T TOO PROUD, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TEMPTATIONS at DCPA

by Jon Bee — November 3, 2022
What did our critic think of AIN'T TOO PROUD, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TEMPTATIONS at DCPA? It's been said that people love nostalgia. There are certainly examples that reflect various time periods in our history but I would argue that last 10 years has seen the biggest increase in 'homage art.' M...

Review: COME FROM AWAY Reminds You of the Good in People

by Chris Arneson — October 10, 2022
You probably remember a few random details of your life on the day of the September 11th attacks. Not just what you saw on the television--but who was with you, where you were, how you felt. On that day, 38 airplanes were redirected to a small Canadian town--Gander, Newfoundland--the site of a large...

Review: It's Not Hell, It's HADESTOWN

Review: It's Not Hell, It's HADESTOWN

by Chris Arneson — September 7, 2022
What did our critic think of HADESTOWN? It's essentially the retelling of the Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Review: Kristin Chenoweth in Concert at Colorado Symphony

by Jon Bee — August 15, 2022

Review: Immerse Yourself in FROM ON HIGH's Office Cult(ure)

by Chris Arneson — June 27, 2022
