A new musical is making its first appearance for one weekend only at the Aurora Fox, and it's tackling something a bit more contemporary. Bookface…the Musical explores how a family can both disconnect and reconnect through social media.

Even superheroes need a little help putting on Shakespeare. By tele-fundraising. From the inside of a submarine. And that's how The Catamounts' are kicking off their fifth season, with Mickle Maher's Spirits to Enforce.

Director Nick Sugar found a way to take the typical grandeur of West Side and condense it into Town Hall's tight space, bringing a deeper focus onto the character's emotions; something you don't get from most productions of the show.

One must take his criticisms into careful consideration when there's an entire number in a show dedicated to critic-hate...but don't worry cast of Vintage's Curtains, I was just as thrilled as the guy screaming 'BRAVA!' next to me after every number. 

A time that birthed unapologetic hairstyles and some of the catchiest tunes ever, it was only a matter of time before the '80s collided into the world of musical theatre. Midtown Arts Center in Fort Collins is currently electrifying the regional premiere of Rock of Ages. 

Fearless Theatre's production of Spring Awakening left me reeling for a sincere vibrancy the show typically stimulates in me.

Just like the infamous duo, Bonnie and Clyde: The Musical had a short life on Broadway, but it left a mark on the theatre scene. Denver's Equinox Theatre Company is currently presenting the show's regional premiere.

The Spitfire Grill, based on the film of the same name, follows Percy (Megan Van De Hey), who just got out of prison. A page from an old magazine brings her to the town of Gilead, Wisconson, where she finds a job at the Spitfire Grill working for Hannah (Anne Oberbroeckling), an aging widow who also lives in the building. While Hannah has been trying to sell it for years, Percy suggests she raffle it off for whoever writes the best essay and sends a hundred dollars. They team up with Shelby (Kelly Watt), who also works at the grill.

We hung out with the cast of Forbidden Broadway: Greatest Hits with Evergreen Players opening weekend, documenting the cast and crew's backstage antics as they scramble to prepare for the next scene.

The winners of best actor/actress at the Bobby G Awards, Evatt Salinger and Emma Buchanan, sat down with BroadwayWorld to discuss their lives up to the ceremony, what they've been up to since and what they're stoked for at The Jimmy Awards.

The relationship-comedy genre is no stranger to the intimate Galleria. Neither is Caveman, which is making its fifth visit to the Mile High City.

The show is nothing flashy, and it doesn't try to be any more than it is. But if you already don't love Annie, this production won't change your mind.

The Aurora Fox is letting its inner-geek show…and it's kind of a bad-ass.

The 12, a new rock musical about the days after Jesus's death, has had an interesting life, and now it's getting a full staging in Denver.

I sat down with Colin Hanlon, currently performing in the world premiere of The 12 with Denver Center Theatre Company.

Motown the Musical, currently playing at the Buell Theatre, provides a bit of a history lesson for the record label, but mostly it feels like a really impressive tribute concert.

The mind of someone with a mental illness is a stimulating place to visit, currently being explored in a Boulder production of Misterman by Enda Walsh.

Broadway star and Denver native Annaleigh Ashford is bringing her hit cabaret show Lost in the Stars to the Garner Galleria at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts on April 11-12.

This is part 2 in a two-part review of Cock, featuring both The Edge and Avenue Theater's concurring productions.

I once worked with a girl who claimed she was a distant relative of Walt Disney. That's about the extent I knew of the tycoon's personal life, aside from his cheery commercial identity. That, and apparently his head is frozen somewhere.
