Book of Mormon: What's all the fuss about?

A lot of people might be wondering what all the fuss is about this Book of Mormon show. I, for one, had no idea what it was about when I first heard of the show. I mean, yes, I know what the Book of Mormon is. But I can't really imagine an entire musical based around it. Until I checked out some videos about it. And it's all about two Mormon missionaries who go to a third world country where one loses some of his faith in his religion. It seems like it's actually going to be quite the show. And now I'm really happy that I got my hands on some Book of Mormon tickets. Check it out!

Top Five Shows I NEED to See

I love theater- obviusly - but there are several shows that I haven't seen yet that are on my "theater bucketlist" for the next year. Whether on Broadway or touring, these are my top MUST SEE SHOWS of 2012. Looks like there might be a little travel in my future...

Book of Mormon tickets: I need these. Yesyesyes. This show is coming to Denver next year, and this show is #1 on my bucketlist. Love.

Beauty and the Beast tickets: It's a classic from my childhood - and I've only heard great things about this show. So this one is going to be a traveler - perhaps Broadway this summer?

Mary Poppins tickets: I love the movie, and my nieces adore this show. Perhaps I'll have to take them on a little auntie vacay this year!

Legally Blonde tickets: Ok, I've totally seen this one. On Broadway, even. But seriously, this show is fantastic. I love the sets, the peppy blondes (maybe because I am a peppy blonde? who knows) and the fab music. Need to see it again. And again, and again, and again...

Jersey Boys tickets: And I've seen this one too. But again, it's another "must see". And my momma hasn't seen it, and I just know she'd love it. Which makes me think that maybe I'll have to meet her in a city on the Jersey Boys schedule for a girls weekend...


Travel + Theater = <3. I wish I had more time/money/frequent fliers for it!

Book of Mormon Tickets: DPAC System Crash

For those of you excited to check out the Book of Mormon when it comes to the Denver Performing Arts Center, you may have noticed that the DPACs website well, it didn't work so well. Although the organization is denying it, reports are saying that their computer system crashed during the Book of Mormon tickets onsale. The venue states that their system was bogged down, but that it didn't actually crash. Even if this is true, this is a state of the art center that we're talking about. A state of the art venue whose equipment couldn't even handle the traffic to function properly during the onsale of these tickets, leaving numerous fans and patrons incredibly disappointed. After the problems that some of the local sports teams had with this very same issue a few years ago, you would think that this particular venue would have used this to their advantage to install a much higher quality system than they currently run.
