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

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.
