Tickets are good for any show during public hours. There is no need to request any change if your schedule changes. Beyond is the hottest new attraction in Denver. To date, it is the only projection-mapped Laser light show in a church in the entire country. Already named Yelp's No.1 thing to do in Denver, BEYOND will have you chilling and thinking in the world-renowned art landmark chapel painted by Okuda san Miguel.
