Our seats were front row balcony and I'm normally afraid of heights. When I first got to our seats i felt kind of woozy but before the end of show I was over my fear. The set was set up brilliantly along with the story.

Just FYI for those thinking about Balcony seats: we were close enough to see and hear just fine, but sometimes you could see things you weren't supposed to, like actors crawling behind a wall. Still, with price factored in, I'd probably choose the same seats.

The DCPA was the original developer of the Denver Performing Arts Complex in 1978. The complex was…read morethen donated to the City of Denver. A City agency, Denver Arts & Venues, manages the overall complex and rents to the Colorado Ballet, Colorado Symphony, Opera Colorado, and others. The Denver Center is now responsible for the Helen G. Bonfils Theatre Complex which includes the Wolf Theatre (640 seats, large thrust stage), the Kilstrom Theatre (380 seats, theater-in-the-round), the Singleton Theatre (233 seats, proscenium), and the Jones Theatre (196 seats, black box). The DCPA also manages the Broadway show schedule at the Buell Theatre (2,830 seats, proscenium) and the Garner Galleria (213 seats, cabaret). A $57 million renovation of the Theatre Complex facilities was completed between 2017 and 2023. This included a total modernization of systems, technology upgrades, a unified central lobby, new elevators, improved ADA access, and many backstage additions. This is a state-of-the-art complex fueled by one of the top professional theater companies in the country. The DCPA is particularly noted for the Colorado New Play Summit which has repeatedly been the genesis of major new work that has become part of the national repertoire. The DCPA runs a major administrative operation with six theaters staging classics, modern, and contemporary works, Broadway shows, and cabaret plus the 10,000 square foot Seawell Ballroom and a number of smaller event venues. A highly-regarded educational operation provides school enrichment programs, professional training for all ages, and opportunities for students to explore careers in all aspects of theater. The DCPA production shops are huge and well-worth a tour. All sets, props, and costumes are designed and built in-house. A large team of technical specialists, scenic artists, costume designers, and prop makers utilize the Scenic, Paint, Prop, Costume, and Wig/Makeup shops to put all the pieces of a production together. Productions here are top professional quality in every aspect. The DCPA is a tremendous resource and offers such a wide variety of theater choices that there is always something for everyone.

We always enjoy our time at the Denver Center for Performing Arts!…read more The venue itself is always well-organized, comfortable, and welcoming.

We're already looking forward to our next show!

For those who don't know, this is the OG of Fenver comedy clubs. I first started going here all the…read moreway back in 1999. Back then they allowed smoking and it was pretty hard to breathe at times. They would often do a non-smoking show on a late Sunday afternoon, but it never had the same energy as the other ones and the comedians tended to trash talk it. I've seen some amazing acts here over the years. And I very much appreciate how much they help develop up-and-coming local comedians. Yeah, there is a two drink and/or item minimum. This doesn't bother me. I'm not someone who really goes out to see comedy and NOT drink. Honestly, my biggest complaint would be the chairs being bolted down. It can get a little tight down there for larger folks. I totally get it, they don't have to keep moving them around back to position, and they can definitely maximize the space. So it doesn't always make it the most comfortable for me, but hey, I do feel that the staff go out of their way to accommodate people's individual needs. And speaking of the staff, everyone that I've interacted with here is always just the friendliest and most helpful person around. Particular shout out to Adam and Adrian, who always give me A++ service when I am at a show.

Always great to see what comedians specifically picked this place! I went for a Taylor Tomlinson…read moreshow where she was testing out new material! They partnered with a parking garage across the street where you could get discounted parking and then you just walk over so that's where most people park. I went for an earlier show so we ended up waiting outside in line before they let us in. You do have to pay for your tickets in advance online and then you pick them up at will call. The problem is the person who bought the ticket needs to physically go and show your ID so make sure that you're committed. It's first come first serve so if you want a good seat upfront, make sure you show up early. They also partnered with a restaurant next-door so if you eat at the restaurant, then you're guaranteed a front row spot. The Comedy show has a two item minimum. I really enjoy this because I don't drink so being able to get two items instead of having to get two drinks is a great option.This time around, I got the chicken basket that comes with fries as my first item and then a cookie sundae as my second item. Both were definitely overpriced for what they were, but besides that it was fine. Definitely order your food as soon as you sit down because the longer you wait the longer it's gonna take to get your order and when they start piling everybody in the orders tend to back up. They also take your phone when you first go in so make sure you have it on do not disturb and they'll also take your smart watch. They put them in the secured bags and then you take the bag with you so your phone is always with you. You just can't access it until the end of the show. Overall, I like this Comedy location because of the two item minimum. I just wish the prices were a little more fair. If they drop the prices, I would definitely order more than two items and probably still pay the same amount that I did for the two items that I had to pay for.

Yes, I'm definitely a fan of Cherry Creek Theater!…read more CCT is a relatively new addition to the Denver theater scene, and have just begun their second season of productions. They're so new, in fact, they don't actually have a traditional theater space. They partner with the Shaver-Ramsey rug gallery in Cherry Creek and hold their performances in the large room off to the side of the main showroom. The acoustics are wonderful, and the space works really well. The performance we saw was in-the-round, so there wasn't a bad seat in the place. They don't focus on one specific type of theater - you'll find dramas, comedies, even musicals. I suspect that anything you see will be quite good as they get some of the best acting talent in Denver, and do a solid job with their script selection. The CCT also offers refreshments before the show and during intermission, including wine, most of which seemed to just have a suggested "donation" amount. You are allowed to bring drinks into the theater - yay! They find places around the area (Whole Foods, for example) and bring in pretty decent bites. So, there you go - yet another theater in Denver you perhaps never knew was there. Check it out!

I was pleasantly surprised by how clever, risqué, and funny this show was. We attended the Alice in Wonderland show and it was the perfect mix of sexiness and comedy. We got the VIP seats right up next to the stage, but from looking around, it appears there are very few "bad" seats in the house, maybe a seat or two behind some columns. My friends and I laughed and clapped and cheered. The performances were top notch. The drinks weren't gourmet cocktails, but that's not expected. I got a pretty good sized mule and dark n stormy and my friend's husband enjoyed his many martinis. The performers were kind enough take photos with us at the end of the evening. So down to earth. I also had a great experience with their staff. Early in the year I purchased two tickets in hopes of getting a good table. Then months later, they introduced the VIP tickets right next to the stage. I purchased three of those (I had added two friends by then) and the company was kind enough to refund my two regular tickets. They were very prompt and professional in emails. Regular tickets were 50-ish, VIP tickets were 70-ish. Worth every penny. No photos or videos during the production, but they allow for some photos and video at the end. Also close to many restaurants and bars, essentially in a pedestrian district. We walked to a close by mediterranean place (reviewed separately) that was fantastic.

We saw a burlesque tarot performance. The host was so funny and all the dancers were amazing and so talented! Love the body positivity and the diversity amongst all their dancers (male dancers were included!). They provide fun little noisemakers to use during the dances to cheer them on. They have lots of drink options too and come around to take your order. I got the non-alcoholic Aperol spritz which was a little strange but that's ok haha. Other girls seemed to like their cocktails and wine. The music, the costumes, the dancers, everything was so much better than we expected! So fun!

Also, my parents used the audio sets, provided at the disability desk, and it was absolutely worth it.

Just enough to introduce changes in style or era. I can't imagine any improvement to this play.The multi talented Kenya Fashaw is always excellent, but she took us to a new level with her sexy rendition of Someone Else Is Stepping In. It would take a while page to give props to each of the cast members who had us bouncing, rocking and trying hard to refrain from singing along.

The show was hilarious, the venue was super clean, and both the audio and views of the stage were excellent. The only reason I'm taking off one star is the seating situation. Some of the floor seating consisted of what looked like basic lawn chairs rather than actual theater seats. For a venue like this, I would have expected something a little more comfortable, especially when paying for floor seats. Other than that, everything was great! Parking was surprisingly easy, with a parking garage conveniently located nearby. When I arrived, there were tons of people entering the theater, so I expected long lines for food and drinks. Surprisingly, the lines moved quickly, the prices were fairly reasonable, and I was able to grab something and make it to my seat without any issues. The theater was well maintained, the staff kept things moving efficiently, and the overall atmosphere was great. I had an excellent view of the stage, the sound quality was fantastic, and Gary Owen put on a great show! Overall, a really enjoyable experience at the Paramount Theatre. Upgrade those floor seats to something more comfortable, and this would easily be a five-star venue!
