Denver's Got It All

If you are a Broadway-musical geek living in Colorado (like myself), you will be excited to know that Denver Center Attractions has announced its 2010 season for national tours. I personally think that Legally Blonde the Musical, which comes to Denver February 2-14 at Buell Theatre, is going to be the best this season. Call me crazy, because I have never seen the movie. But I am a girl who loves pink and wishes she was blonde! However, I do think the rest of the season is going to be great, with awesome shows like Young Frankenstein, Shrek the Musical, In the Heights and South Pacific. I know what you all think of Shrek the Musical: it's childish. And after seeing a dance number from this musical at the Tony's, I do agree that it may seem quite immature at times, but I think it's worth seeing. (I do know for a fact that In the Heights and South Pacific are going to be great musicals!) So if you love seeing a lot of blondes dance across the stage, or even fairy tale creatures, check out the 2010 national touring season at the Denver Center!

Feline Frenzy

Okay, call me crazy: I have never seen a show on Broadway. Sure, I've seen some of the shows on national tour that come to Denver but never Wicked (even though it is my favorite musical!) I haven't even some of the great musicals, like say, Cats. (Now you can let out your gasps of horror.) I always have been a huge fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber (I have seen Jesus Christ Superstar and Phantom of the Opera, so don't worry!) but somehow I have never taken the time to see Cats. And although I'm finally seeing it tonight, I still have this question: why is it so popular?!? While I can't answer this particular question, I'm also trying to figure out why this show was on Broadway for so long (at least Phantom of the Opera deserved it). But based on these two facts, I hope it's worth seeing!

Yet Another

As with any other actor, you have to audition for shows if you want to be in it. It's not like you can always count on getting into a show without an audition first. Well, yet again, I'm auditioning for AlleyCat Theatrics production of Annie Jr! This is a local children's theatre company and I have performed with this group a few times before, so I know I have at least a 97% chance that I will get into this show. However, being 5'4" tall, I know for sure I'm not getting Annie, even though I did a year ago with a different children's theatre company. Anyways, whatever part I get, Ill be very happy with (just no more guy parts!)
