This time we were seeing Ride the Cyclone. I had gotten tickets because a few friends were going and it was a favorite musical of my daughter's. She thoroughly enjoyed the production. Their cast is always top-notch and the music was fantastic! I highly recommend going to see a production here.

Every performer brought their A-game. If you love jazz and blues, you will get your fill at this musical. There is very little dialogue in between songs. 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. I encourage all music lovers to treat themselves to this experience.

The Bug Theater has some excellent local events! If you haven't been, check their website and find…read morean event to go to! I've been going here since moving to Denver when I searched out where the internationally held "Nerd Nite" in Denver would be. I used to go to Nerd Nite in Wisconsin and many of the major metro areas have a Nerd Nite. So, that is how I discovered The Bug Theater. It's not quite as cool as the WI chapter, but it's still a good time! It's fun to learn stuff! Another great event there was the Emerging Filmmakers. Local filmmakers present their short films and you can make a comment about it afterwards, if you'd like. Or you can just listen to other's comments! It's a great time if you're into movies! A must see are the Acrocats. Again, I've also seen the show of performing cats in WI and have been waiting for years to see them here in Denver. I couldn't believe the date range as the show ran for something like 2-3 weeks and even more shocking was that she sold out every single day!!! Fun fact is that her first performance was here in Denver at The Bug even though she started the Acrocats out of Illinois (and is in Georgia as of late). They have several other events like comedy, as well. Definitely check something out there that you're into! It's sure to be a good time! The theater is small, I don't know if it's 100-something seating. But also, nice and cozy for these fun locals on stage ;)

The seating is arranged in a way that everyone has a great view from any seat and from every location in the theatre! The staff is friendly and the actors are all star performers! I highly recommend that if you have extra time this December, buy tickets for one of the seasonal shows! I went with family to watch, "Stocking Stuffers!" And we were impressed with the script, the acting, the wardrobe changes and the amount of energy and excitement that was displayed from beginning to end! You won't nod off, take a nap or be disappointed! We laughed out loud and loved the show! Show up, bring friends and remember to get there early because they have a bar/lounge open before the show starts and you can check the website for hours and their happy hour! Get tickets ahead of time as they do tend to sell out!

The theater was a bit cold, but I had brought a large cashmere wrap, which my daughter and I shared. Photography is not allowed during the play.

We were super excited about the show. We've always watched him on tv. Now let me say I was a lil disappointed in the snack choices; so popcorn was the choice. I live Reese pieces , water and pineapple juice. I don't drink so the alcohol was where it was. The staff was very attentive and trying to fill every order. There were so many people and they were doing their thing. The lines were long but moving quickly. I haven't been in the theater since 2008. So I did not like the seats an how close they were. I felt cramped and crowded.. The restroom was clean and the theater itself was neatly decorated and clean too. The first comedian that opened up was amazingly talented and great!!! He was funny and a principal.. I really enjoyed his and could see him again. He had the crowd cheering and laughing uncontrollably.. support this brother whenever you see him. He's worth the time. The dJ was fire he had the crowd amped up. He was dropping hit after hit getting us prepared for the show. When Ali came to the stage they erupted into applause and cheers. His mannerisms and demeanor were just characteristic and down to earth. He was funny and my side was hurting from all the laughing. We paid for the meet and greet and the line was long but worth the wait. He was so cool in person and love his fans. I would love to come and see him again.

I just LOVE the Festivus Film Festival! It is a 5-day event full of unique films, fun people and…read morefantastic after-parties. This film festival has been running for 6 years in the Denver Highlands at The Oriental Theater. It runs Wednesday through Sunday and every day has multiple blocks of films (either a long feature or several short films). And, on most days of the festival, there is a post-film after party for socializing with filmmakers and enjoying libations. The film styles run the gamut. There are dramas, comedies, documentaries, thrillers and more. This year, they did an all-Colorado filmmakers evening. And, after the films, the filmmakers take the stage to answer questions from the audience. Rad! This is also the most inexpensive film festival you can attend. Just $10 gets you into any single block of films and this year they had a 2-for-1 block on Saturday. I got an all-access pass for just $75. Compare that to the Starz Film Festival or Boulder International Film Festival, let alone Sundance or Telluride. The Festivus Film Festival really is for the rest of us :)

The set was set up brilliantly along with the story.

Although I didn't have any medal on me (no purse/phone/watch), the medal detector kept going off and the hand held wand was going off as well. The manager was convinced I had stuff in my pockets or in my tennis shoes. It was a back and forth for quite sometime. The theatre itself is pretty. The seats are comfy and each seat has a cup holder. The bathrooms were somewhat clean. The lines were long for both restrooms and drinks. A major pro was the parking lot was close by.
