You don’t have to travel to New York City’s Broadway to see this Tony Award winning musical because it’s now playing at the Candlelight in Johnstown, Colorado. You know it’s got to be a great musical when it’s still being produced 78-years after it was written, and Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” is just that. We started our evening by ordering the baked Brie. Served with a side of chutney, almonds
Two very different Christmas shows are now playing in Northern Colorado, and I have had the chance to see them. Read my reviews and decide which one is right for your family this season. The two musicals are strikingly different, and each has strong points, so you may decide to see both. “Scrooge! The Musical” While the entire cast is talented, Brian Burron, as Scrooge, is the heart of
As the summer festival season slows and we get closer to the holidays, you’ll start seeing new theater reviews here at HeidiTown.com. I truly believe theater – especially dinner theater – is an event and while theater is available year round in Colorado, I start getting back into the scene during the fall and winter. Last week I was a guest at Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding, held at the Midtown
Huck Finn has made his way to the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse and has been welcomed with open arms. “Big River, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” originally performed on Broadway in the late 1980s, opened at Candlelight on Father’s Day. When I came to the Candlelight for “The King & I,” the actors had a lot to live up to – and they did -but I had no such expectations for
“The King & I” is a movie I have cherished since childhood, and after my first experience at the Candlelight watching their production of “Clue,” I was a little concerned. Could they put on such a well-known and well-liked classic? While I was a little let down by “Clue,” I can happily report that my concerns about their current show vanished as soon as the first scene began to unfold.
My husband and I finally had the opportunity to check out Carousel Dinner Theater thanks to a great deal they ran on Facebook. Carousel has been in Fort Collins, Colorado since 2002, and they recently moved to The Midtown Art Center at 3750 South Mason. The new location is classy and houses a foyer, bar area, a theater and a ballroom for conferences, parties and weddings. I never saw the
There are so many opportunities to enjoy live theater in Northern Colorado and the season is in full swing. If you haven’t been to the theater lately it’s time to go. We went out to see “The Odd Couple” at The Rialto Theater on Friday evening. Located in the heart of downtown Loveland, The Rialto is a great place to catch a show. The theater is a throwback to a
When the weather in Colorado turns cold and the holidays are upon us, I get into the mood for theater. Thanks goodness for the active theater scene in Northern Colorado! I decided to do an inventory of upcoming shows in Northern Colorado, and here’s what I discovered.

I recently wrote an article for the Berthoud Weekly Surveyor entitled “Cracking the Nutcracker.” I wrote about where this famous ballet originated and how it has become the most popular and most performed ballet in the world. Here are a few facts I discovered and will share with my readers here. 1. The Nutcracker Ballet was based on a short story entitled “The Nutcracker & the Mouse King” by German
I don’t usually cover large shows like Cavalia on HeidiTown.com, but this time I’m making an exception. This show was created and directed by one of the founders of Cirque de Soleil, and while I have enjoyed Cirque de Soleil shows, none moved me in the same way as Cavalia. The show is a combination of acrobatics, dance, theater, horse back riding, horse whispering and magic. Cavalia is performed in
