The Hot Wing King, A Silly, Yet Serious “Dramedy”Thru May 25, LLD Review
By the time intermission came around, the tears were already flowing. Wait, what? I thought this was supposed to be comedic play about a group of guys trying to win the title of “The Hot Wing King” in the annual “Hot Wang Festival” competition in Memphis, Tennessee. So why was the audience so emotional?
Cinco de Mayo 2025, A Celebration Like No Other, Ten of Thousands Join In, LLD Photo Gallery
Cinco de Mayo 2025 was another fantastic party at Denver’s Civic Center Park over the weekend May 3rd and 4th. Tens of thousands of people from all walks of life came out to enjoy the perfect weather and to celebrate community and culture. The music, the dancing, the food and the fun was amazing. Produced by NEWSED Community Development Corporation this was the 38th year for the festival. Latin Life Denver was pleased to be a media sponsor.
Outdoor Summer Concert Series at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park June 18 Thru July 30
From Latin to Rhythm & Blues to Bluegrass to Rock ‘n’ Roll, there is nothing quite like an outdoor summer concert at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park. It provides a mid-week escape to an idyllic hillside with sweeping mountain views and dramatic sunsets, local brews, hip food vendor fare and community members of every age and background—all ready to rock
Insatiable, ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ Leaves Audiences Wanting More, Feed Me! Thru May 25th, LLD Review
Sometimes, I just want to be entertained. I want to kick back, relax and just enjoy a production, be it a movie, TV show or a concert. That includes live theatre as well. I just want to escape everything that is going on in the world if only for a couple of hours. I don’t want to try to figure out all the hidden messages and meanings behind a show. I just want to be intrigued, made to laugh, or cry.
Little Shop of Horrors, currently playing at the Wolfe Theatre at the DCPA through May 25th allowed me to do just that. The show is about a mysterious
Cirque du Soleil On Ice & The Trapeze of Maria Jose Monje In ‘CRYSTAL’, April 24-27 at the Broadmoor World Arena, Colo. Springs
For Maria Jose Monje, who is from Chile, the trapeze came naturally, not as a kid but the age of 22. She told Latin Life Denver Media she had previously been a ballerina, she loved to spin and dance and launch herself through the air, but she wanted more.
Crystal is about a young girl name Crystal. One day, feeling misunderstood and out of sync with the world, she ventures out on a frozen pond and falls through the ice. In this underwater world of her own imagination, she has a vision: she sees a reflection of herself – her alter ego – that guides her, showing her a distorted version of her life.
Take My Word For It, “Gutenberg, The Musical” Hilariously Fascinating, LLD Review Thru May 4th
So how is a theatre play about printing press inventor Johannes Gutenberg supposed to translate into a successful broadway play? Good question. Maybe, not such a good idea. But playwrights , Bud, Brett Ambler, and Doug, Bryce Baxter, think it is, so with every penny they have they set about to write, produce and stage the play.
“The Wiz”, A Reimagined “Ease On Down The Road” Adventure, Thru April 20th Only, LLD Theatre Review
But who is this Dana Cimone? with the beautiful, voice who plays Dorothy in this current touring Broadway rendition of the play that changed Broadway forever and is currently playing the Buell Theatre at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts through April 20, 2025.
Mean Girls, To Belong or Not To Belong? Thru March 2nd, LLD Review
Mean Girls is a must-see, laugh out loud, high-energy musical. It is a “cautionary tale” about discovering who you are while also trying to fit in. Can you really be your authentic self while pleasing others? Written by Tina Fey, music by Jeff Richmond, lyrics by Nell Benjamin and directed by Casey Nicholaw. It is a whimsical yet seriously relevant story now playing at the Denver Center of Performing Arts through March 5, 2025.
