"The core of this musical comedy is the tempestuous can't-live-with him/can't-live-without him love story that survives the Silver Boom, the Gold Rush, and the R.M.S. Titanic." Song titles include 鈥淚 Ain鈥檛 Down Yet,鈥� 鈥淏elly Up To The Bar Boys鈥� and 鈥淐olorado, My Home,鈥� and 鈥淚鈥檒l Never Say No.鈥� 鈥淭he vision of the Theatre Company at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is about reflecting the stories and the issues of the day, not only in our local community of Denver, but also Colorado, the Rocky Mountains and nationally,鈥� said producing artistic director Kent Thompson in an earlier statement.

We have a first class Broadway creative team and an exceptional cast of actors that are going to bring this production to life like it has never been seen before.
