BWW Review: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN AT VINTAGE WILL LEAVE YOU IN STITCHES at Vintage Theatre
My senior year of high school, my final literature class book report was on Mary Shelley’s gothic novel, Frankenstein. Since then, I’ve read that book probably three or four times. For some reason, I always come back to the rather dark tale that inspired later projects such as the Mel Brooks com...
BWW Review: Performance Now's DROWSY CHAPERONE Is Nowhere Near Tired
At some point in the last year, we were all a lonely person in a chair, nostalgically listening through every one of our favorite Broadway cast albums, reminiscing of a time we were able to see them live....
BWW Review: BDT Stage's AVENUE Q is Just As Clever As You Remember
Oh, how I missed raunchy theatre. It's been years since I paid my old pals at Avenue Q a visit. And the jokes still feel as fresh as...well, the salad I had right before I watched puppet sex at a dinner theater....
BWW Review: Forge Light's HOWARD BARNES is More Than Just Noteworthy
As a theatre person, I can confidently say if my life were suddenly a musical, I'd be thrilled. Isn't the what many of us crave, anyway? The combo of having the world not only revolve around our story, but supplemented with harmonies and well-rehearsed choreography?...
BWW Review: Parker's LITTLE SHOP is Full of Big Moments
Just by hearing the title, you've probably got the familiar bops of Little Shop of Horrors running through your head....
BWW Review: VAN GOGH is ALIVE at Stanley Marketplace
Even if you're not much of an art connoisseur, you probably know a bit about Van Gogh. At least enough to be excited about an immersive exhibit featuring his work....
BWW Review: SHOUT! at Town Hall Arts Center
SHOUT! The Mod Musical, now playing at Town Hall Arts Center, offers a silly (and sometimes somber) escape from our current world....
BWW Review: MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at Arvada Center
I’ve always had a soft spot for the songs of yesteryear. Jukebox musicals usually leave me in a happy place by the time the show ends. In the case of Million Dollar Quartet at Arvada, this show left me feeling the same way I felt from the moment it started - joyful....
BWW Review: LITTLE WOMEN Marches On at Candlelight Dinner Theatre
Let me start by saying how lovely it was to sit and enjoy live theater again after so much time away. As we all start to come out of the woodwork and step into a new world, I stand ready and exhilarated for the new renaissance of art that is headed our direction. Welcoming me to this new age was Can...
BWW Review: BOULDER OPERA THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO at Home Computer Screens

BWW Review: Aurora Fox's TOMFOOLERY isn't a Foolish Choice
You might not be ready to go back to indoor live theatre a?" but if you are, the Aurora Fox is ready for you....
SUMMER isn't Necessarily the Hottest Stuff
I've almost started to lose track of how many jukebox bio musicals have come out. To be honest, Summer: The Donna Summer Musical isn't one I've given a second thought to since it played Broadway. After seeing ita??I probably won't give it much more either....
BWW Review: MARGARITAVILLE is Best Enjoyed with Extra Tequila
If there's one thing we all could use right now, it's an escape from the winter weather to an island resort sipping on mixed drinks. If that's a little tough for you to pull off during the holidays, you might wanna try to Escape to Margaritaville, the Jimmy Buffett jukebox musical playing downtown ...

BWW Review: You'll Be SPEECHLESS at BLUE MAN GROUP...But You Might Not Know Why
Some shows don't leave you with a ton to saya??so I guess Blue Man Group's Speechless tour lives up to its name, at least....
BWW Review: Miners Alley's ONCE is a Spectacle of Raw Musicianship
Immediately upon entering the theater, you'll realize Once isn't going to be your typical musical theatre fare....
BWW Review: MISS SAIGON is More Than Spectacle - But It Helps
It's probably been quite a while since you've seen Miss Saigon...but if you have, you'll likely recall its extravagant moments most. The vibrantly large sets, huge ensemble number and of course the legendary helicopter....
BWW Review: Stirring BRIGHT STAR Shines at Arvada Center
If there's one thing you can expect at the heart of a bluegrass musical, it's a great storya?"and that's only one of the many ways the Arvada Center's latest musical shines....
BWW Review: ANASTASIA is a Bit More Than a Journey to the Past
Let's be real -- if you're catching the musical Anastasia, it has more to do with your fixation with the 1997 animated movie than your fascination with Russian history....
BWW Review: The Second City's IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME
If you're familiar with The Second City, you know what to expect from their shows - a clever mix of sketch and improv comedy, throw in musical number or two. And of course the audience gets to play along....
BWW Review: CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is a Visual Sugar Rush
You might think you've seen the tale of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory enough, but the musical stage adaptation now playing at the Denver Center's Buell Theatre has got plenty of fresh treats to offer....
BWW Review: Immerse Yourself in DCPA Off-Center's THE LAST DEFENDER
If you want to feel like you've saved the world (or at least died trying), there's a theatrical experience for you. The Last Defender, which was conceived at The House Theatre of Chicago in 2016, feels a bit like an escape room…just more theatrical. Currently it's being presented through the Denve...
BWW Review: OTHER DESERT CITIES at Cherry Creak Theatre
