Denver Center brings Broadway hits to 2014-15 season

February 12, 2014

The Denver Center Attractions 2014-15 season features Tony Award-winning hits and family favorites straight from Broadway including the national tour launch of “Pippin”; “Forbidden Broadway: Alive & Kicking!”; “Kinky Boots”; Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella”; “Motown the Musical” and “Annie.”

“Pippin” is back on Broadway for the first time since it thrilled audiences 40 years ago, and has now won the Tony Award for Best Musical Revival! With a beloved score by Tony nominee Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell”, “Wicked”), “Pippin” tells the story of a young prince on a death-defying journey to find meaning in his existence. Direct from an acclaimed run at Boston’s American Repertory Theater, this new production is directed by Tony winner Diane Paulus (“Hair,” The Gershwins’ “Porgy and Bess”).

Winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, “Kinky Boots” follows a struggling shoe factory owner who works to turn his business around with help from Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos.

Together, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible proving that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world. Inspired by a true story, “Kinky Boots” features a Tony-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, direction and Tony-winning choreography by Jerry Mitchell and a hilarious, uplifting book by four-time Tony winner Harvey Fierstein.

“Forbidden Broadway: Alive & Kicking!” returns with an all-new, fresh view of the highs and lows of recent Broadway shows, including “Porgy and Bess,” “Anything Goes,” “Spiderman,” “The Book of Mormon,” “Follies,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “Death of a Salesman.”

“Motown the Musical” is the true American dream story of Motown founder Berry Gordy’s journey from featherweight boxer to the heavyweight music mogul who launched the careers of Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson and many more.

Leapin’ Lizards! Annie returns in time-honored form.  Directed by original lyricist and director Martin Charnin, this production of Annie will be a brand new incarnation of the iconic original.
