Riverdance 25th Anniversary Show in Denver: High Kicks & High Notes

In 2001, Ryan and I got engaged at the Fourth Story Restaurant above the Tattered Cover in Cherry Creek. Later in the evening, we attended Riverdance at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

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.

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
