Review: ENGLISH at Denver Center For The Performing Arts


by Tessa Nelson - April 29, 2026

Elham, playwright Sanaz Toossi’s brilliant character played by an equally brilliant Vanah Assadourian, frustratedly exclaims in a tongue unfamiliar to her mouth, “I want everyone to know I am not an idiot and also I am nice.” English, produced by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, capt...

Review: ALICIA KEYS' HELL'S KITCHEN at Denver Center For The Performing Arts


by Tessa Nelson - April 21, 2026

Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts tells a perfectly coherent story—it’s just not a very interesting one. An overprotective mother badgers her daughter to stay safely in her apartment and away from the glitz, glamour, and danger of those pernicious New Y...

Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at The DCPA Theatre Company


by Tessa Nelson - April 15, 2026

by Jon Bee - January 26, 2026

Review: THE NOTEBOOK Makes it Rain at DCPA


by Jon Bee - December 18, 2025

It is no wonder so many movies, tv shows, and musicals start out as the written word. I would argue the best stories are those that draw you in and keep you engaged from start to finish, regardless of how long it takes to finish. Perhaps that is why when I first read The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks ...
