Quite Possibly the Funniest Play...

Last Thursday I had the amazing opportunity to see The 39 Steps, performed by the Denver Center Theatre Company. I can literally describe this play in one word: hilarious. I guess I liked this play a lot because it's a play that uses everything possible stagewise. Every scene is completely different from the next, but you would have to see it to understand. All four cast members were incredibly comical, and after the show, I didn't see a single audience member leaving the theatre without a smile. Okay, so maybe some of you who know me really well are reading this and thinking, Gee, I thought the Broadway Queen was totally against all straight plays. Well, my friends, you are wrong on this one, hence the title of this post. If any of my readers live in Colorado, no matter where you live, it will be totally worth it to see this production of The 39 Steps.

With One Look

On Friday night, I finally had the chance to see Sunset Boulevard at the Arvada Center in Denver, and let me tell you that it was not at all what I expected it to be. Of course, my dad did warn me that the plot was dark and it was not a "makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside" kind of musical. But in my opinion, this musical was very creepy! The performances were overall great, and again, I LOVED the music, as it was done by Andrew Lloyd Webber (one of my faves). There was something beyond all the creepiness, though, that really had me wanting to go back to the scenes in Norma Desmond's home. I must say that I don't care if everyone absolutely raves about Patti LuPone, who was the original Norma Desmond on Broadway; I hate she sings and presents herself onstage. What is there to like about Patti? That remains to be a mystery. Nevertheless, I do highly recommend that everyone reading this post (living in Colorado) go see this show!
