BWW Review: THE LITTLE MERMAID at BDT Stage

As a child of the 90s, the classic Disney movies have a special place in my heart. The company's track record of transforming these tales into full-length musical productions has always been met with anticipation of how the magic of the movies will blossom on stage. The Little Mermaid, the current production at BDT Stage, is no exception to the glitz.

Come brush up your Shakespeare with The Candlelight Dinner Playhouse's production of the classic Cole Porter romantic comedy Kiss Me, Kate.    Originally staged on Broadway in 1948, Kiss Me, Kate won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Its successful revival on Broadway in 1999 proved that this behind-the-scenes theatrical love story has a timeless appeal.

BWW Review: THE ADDAMS FAMILY at BDT Stage

SPAMALOT Plays Boulder Dinner Theatre, Now thru 3/1

Rude Frenchmen, cancan dancers, the Lady of the Lake and her Laker Girls, killer rabbits, catapulting cows, and the somewhat odd Knights who say 'ni' are just part of the adventures and dangers awaiting King Arthur and his knights of the very, very, very round table in their quest for the holy grail. Lovingly ripped off from the motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is the fresh and irreverent parody of the Arthurian legend. It was nominated for 14 Tony Awards, winning three, including Best New Musical for 2005. During its initial run, it was seen by more than two million people and now you can see it right in your own backyard as Boulder's Dinner Theatre sets forth on the quest for the Holy Grail this winter - playing tonight, November 16, 2013 through March 1, 2014.
