The Denver Center for the Performing Arts

Since the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is where the majority of traveling Broadway shows perform, I thought it was interesting when I saw this cool video about how they automate the sets at the Denver Center. It's pretty cool, especially if you're not used to seeing how things happen behind the scenes in Denver Theater productions. Makes me want to go down and take a class to see how it all works live and in-person!

The Addams Family Is Going On Tour

One of the shows that I absolutely can't wait to see next year is The Addams Family. I've only heard awesome things, which means it's going to be a must see. I even saw them on David Letterman, and it looks hilarious. I guess Addams Family tickets are going to be on my birthday list this year! Don't believe me? Check out a little clip below. I believe you'll be hooked and just have to see this show live for yourself too!

The Little Mermaid on Broadway

I have a confession. While I would never put The Little Mermaid on Broadway down as one of my top ten must see shows, I still want to see it. Why? Because I just have to know how they're mobilizing a mermaid on stage. They couldn't have her walking around - it would totally ruin the illusion. But that being said, I'm not so sure that the moterization dohicky that they've got going (see video) is really all that snazzy, either. I mean, Disney has boko bucks and they couldn't make Ariel's tail look a little more realistic? Come on guys...

American Idiot Tickets at the Buell Theater

Were you guys big fans of the band Greenday back in the day? I was a bit, I suppose, but part of me feels like this band was like, part of growing up in our generation. So the fact that they came out with a musical that centralizes around their music actually sounds kind of interesting to go check out, if only to see if it really matches up with the feeling of that time - middle school and high school. Ick. So I picked up a pair of American Idiot tickets for the show on March 10th - and I'm actually pretty pumped. I decided to make a night out of it. I'm dragging my bff from High School along with me - if nothing else we'll go for ice cream afterward and make it the full high school experience, no?
