What fun! Myself, 3 kids (age 10-14), my parents were the attendees. We all loved it and were super impressed with Scotty's skills. We've been discussing for days on theories of how he pulled off the "tricks". It was very crowd interactive which made it more special. Scotty also conveyed a powerful life message that relationships with each other is the most important thing in life. Great to have that reinforced to my privileged kids. My only critique is that the show was short at 80 minutes. We were eager for more.

As I looked about the 'theater in a circle' seating, noting the souls who had braved Denver's weather Tuesday night I wondered, 'What joins us, as different as we all are, in this place, to do this thing?'. Two hours later I knew the answer: Great Art. We are all separate universes really, each of us; but Great Art can, by the conceived and intentional effort of great writing, great staging and especially great acting, wrest us from our separateness and join us in a single vast mind, in a single moment in time, to share an understanding, a laugh, a guffaw, a puzzlement and most especially 'awe'. From Viola's (Mehry Eslaminia) opening soliloquy, robust in its authenticity, through the shared metanoia of Olivia's (Krystel Lucas) awakening from her sadness all of us in the audience became part of the troupe, part of the story, part of the grand understanding. The performances by the legendary cast were rowdy, irascible, impertinent, and, at the same time, through the perfection of their personal transformation of themselves into living canvas, trans-formative. A 500 year old story, shared anew, every bit as amusing, informing, entertaining and elevating now as it has been. If you are in Denver between now and Dec 22nd, and you wish to see real theater the way it is performed in NYC and at the Globe - then you must try to see 12th Night at the Stage (Denver Center Theatre Company). You will cry from laughing, you be shocked at the context of famous lines you have heard all your life, and you will be more, when you leave, than when you arrived; this I guarantee!

We have been to a number of shows at the various venues within the complex. The Buell is always phenomenal, as is Boettcher Concert Hall. The whole atmosphere inside the complex is electric! There is almost always live music going on and lots of places to order food or drinks and just sit and absorb the vibe.

My girlfriend took me to the Clocktower Cabaret for an early Valentines date. What a great time. We had a blast and the cast was incredibly entertaining. The Clocktower hosts many different acts from Cabaret to aerial acts, comedy, drag and music acts. Very small venue makes for a great and personal experience. Good cocktails and appetizer menu. I will definitely see more shows.

I've been here a few times for various acts and always enjoy myself. It has maintained it's classic golden age charm yet wait times at concessions are normal and rest rooms are rarely full and usually clean. The stage seems a bit small but it hasn't proven a problem and audio is good. Start times are not always punctual. Public parking can be easily had just south of the theater at garages or open lots.

We had a lot of fun! The dinner was yummy! And even with covid we were allowed to interact (and investigate) others which was really fun! I like the fact that we got to walk around and interact with everyone instead of just watching a show! I would love to try the others!

This was our first time to visit the Bellco Theater. What a great venue for the dance competition we attended. I pay attention to detail at venues and everything about the Denver Convention Center and Bellco Theater was clean, well-maintained and up-to-date décor. It was a warm, beautiful spring Saturday and at first I was sad that we were going to be inside on that sunny day. But all the windows in the foyer areas offered such brightness I felt very comfortable and not so ‘trapped’ indoors. We took a break for lunch and were pleased at the selection of the food carts they had in the convention lobby area: açai bowls, smoothies, gyros, and lots more. Prices are typical popular venue menu prices. Not too bad. We parked at the convention center and I was surprised at how affordable: $12 for 8 hours. Can’t wait to return to see a concert in the Bellco Theater!
