STEVIE NICKS LIVE!
Stevie Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975, quickly becoming a sensation. The band’s members faced many personal challenges but, nevertheless, triumphed critically and commercially. Their sophomore album, Rumours, has sold more than 21 million copies and won Album of the Year at the 1978 Grammy Awards. Nicks has also enjoyed a successful solo career—despite years of struggling with addiction—with the hit album Bella Donna and popular songs “Edge of Seventeen” and “Stop Dragging My Heart Around,” with Tom Petty. The rock star is the first woman to be twice inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

LAST WEEKEND TO SEE: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY
Hailed as “a genuinely epic production” by The New York Times (original New York run), The Lehman Trilogy follows three German-Jewish immigrant brothers, and their descendants, as they navigate fire, flood, war, and panic to build a financial behemoth that changed America.
In 1847, the Lehman brothers open a modest clothing shop in Alabama. But they have big dreams. They evolve as new opportunities arise. They capitalize on railroads, oil booms, personal computers, and, eventually, capital itself. They become so intertwined with the U.S. government, and in the daily lives of millions of stakeholders, that some begin to believe that Lehman Brothers, the institution, is too big to fail.
This extraordinary feat of storytelling (winner of the 2022 Tony Award for Best Play) uses only three actors to trace 163 years of family history and business. Until one day, in 2008, when it all comes crashing down…

LAST CHANCE TO SEE: WHERE DID WE SIT…?
Nine-year-old Bee Quijada sits in a suburban classroom. During a history lesson on Rosa Parks, she asks, “Where did Latinos sit on the bus?”
What follows is a theatrical mixtape of Bee’s life. It’s a one-person show that immerses the audience in elaborate, layered soundscapes by fusing Latin rhythms, hip-hop, and spoken word poetry. And it’s all made, in-person, in real time, through the magic of live music and storytelling. Where Did We Sit on the Bus? captures both the innocence of youth and the pressures that come with being the child of immigrants. It asks, “What is my place? Where do I fit in?” It builds from the ground up, one step at a time, taking audiences on a soulful musical journey as its hero finds hope and meaning through art.
Singleton Theatre, DCPA Complex, 14th and Curtis St., Denver

FINAL PERFORMANCES: COMPANY
Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical, Company is “sophisticated, intimate and in-tune with the currents of modern life—brilliantly conceived and funny as hell.” (Variety). Helmed by three-time Tony Award-winning director Marianne Elliott (War Horse, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Angels in America) this revelatory new production of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s groundbreaking musical comedy is boldly sophisticated, deeply insightful, and downright hilarious.
It’s Bobbie’s 35th birthday party, and all her friends keep asking, Why isn’t she married? Why can’t she find the right man and isn’t it time to settle down and start a family? As Bobbie searches for answers, she discovers why being single, being married, and being alive in the 21st-century could drive a person crazy.
Company features Sondheim’s award-winning songs You Could Drive a Person Crazy, The Ladies Who Lunch, Side by Side by Side and the iconic Being Alive. Let’s all drink to that.

MOONDIAL
Moondial is a band for the opportunists, the music obsessive; the people who want to escape the day to day for a moment and live. Moondial began as four friends, so it’s only natural the show is like hanging out with friends. Since they play music together for fun, if the concert wasn’t fun for the listeners too, then what’s the point? Like the rising and falling of a plot, the songs employ songwriting techniques of contrast, from calm passages diving back into powerful waves of sound. More than anything, the band is undeniably themselves. From their love of performance, to engaging stage presence and most of all their love for antics, their concerts are full of the signs of their personalities.
