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
Brilliant musicianship, soulful performances, and expert craft make Next to Normal at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts deeply identifiable.

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 ...
