Shrek-taculous

This past Thursday I went to Buell Theatre in Denver to see Shrek the Musical. Alright so it was definitely not better than Wicked (well, duh, nothing is) but I have to add it to my top twenty list of faves. The lyrics were clever, the choreography was basic but good, and I loved all the characters! There has never been a show where I was surrounded by 10 year olds (and it will probably never happen again). If you see this, prepare yourself for multiple Broadway musical references (trust me, it happens a LOT). I highly recommend that all my readers living in Colorado see this show, or if it's coming to your town, get your tickets NOW!!!!!!!!

Dancing Queen...hey I just might join 'em!

I know it has been a while since I have posted, but I'm back! Anywho, just this past Tuesday I had the chance (FINALLY!!!!) to see Mamma Mia! at Buell Theatre. Okay, so it was no Wicked, but I have to say that I really enjoyed it overall. The music was very entertaining and familiar (despite the fact that I did not live through the 70's), the choreography was unexpected, and the talent...well, let's just say that there are better voices out there. Each and every one of the guys playing Sophie's three potential fathers made me laugh at some point in the show, they were awesome. Overall, I enjoyed this production. BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW IF YOU LIVE IN COLORADO because the show will be gone in a few days!

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.
