Arvada Adds Up

Again, I'm very sorry that I haven't written in a long time (I've been tied up with rehearsals and shows!) Anyways, this past Tuesday, I saw Nine at the Arvada Center in Denver, which was really AWESOME! I was so excited to see this production after being impressed by Arvada's productions of Miss Saigon and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. And also, of course, after seeing the recent movie release of Nine (starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Marion Cotillard), which was BRILLIANT! This stage production, though, had only one set, which was spa-themed decor. I was actually very disappointed with this and also that the dance numbers weren't as high as my expectations. The performers, though, were great; however, the woman playing Luisa Contini should have played Claudia, the actress, and vice versa. The guy playing Guido was perfect for the role though and I was excited to see him playing this great role. Overall, this production was worth seeing and I highly recommend that anyone who lives in Colorado should go see it! (just look up Arvada Center of Performing Arts)
