United is pleased to serve as the official airline of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) and proudly supports its remarkable contributions to the performing arts community in Denver and beyond.

Together with the DCPA, United celebrates the energy that artists and dancers bring to Denver and the global stage.

But United does more than connect passengers through safe and convenient air travel; it forges strong relationships with the people and communities it serves.

United employees also have donated thousands of hours of service to various local partner initiatives, such as Food Bank of the Rockies.

Employees have conducted school supply drives, food drives, fundraisers for the March of Dimes and breast cancer organizations, and spent a day working with Habitat for Humanity. United’s Volunteer Impact Grants program offers employees the opportunity to apply for cash grants for area nonprofits where they volunteer frequently and has provided thousands of dollars to local organizations since the program began.

United employees especially love bringing smiles to hundreds of local children undergoing medical treatments through the annual holiday “Fantasy Flights” trip to the North Pole and teddy bear deliveries to hospitalized children. Ben Flyin, the United Adventure Bear, brings his own passport full of travel fun and games to share with everyone he meets.

For the past five years United has sponsored special matinee performances at DCPA for hundreds of local students. United enjoys the privilege of sharing the thrill of a live theatrical performance accompanied by an educational talkback with these students to expand their view of themselves and the world.

“At United, we take our role as a community partner and corporate citizen seriously, and we are proud to support the DCPA. With more than 75 years of service to the Mile High City, we are also proud of our long-standing commitment to the Denver community that thousands of employees and customers call home,” said Suzi Cabo, Director of Corporate and Community Affairs.

In addition to the DCPA, United is honored to support several other Colorado organizations including the Colorado Symphony, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Public Schools Foundation, Latin American Education Foundation, and Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum.

Beautiful is subtitled The Carole King Musical and contains many unforgettable Carole King songs (“Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “Up on the Roof,” “A Natural Woman”). But this show is a musical anthology that King had little to do with beyond agreeing — kicking and screaming — to let the producers base it on her life and songs. Crazy?

The other players in this jaunty evening of musical comedy — a breezy mix of nostalgia, great songs, spirited dance and romance from the 1960s and 70s — are Cynthia Weil (words) and Barry Mann (music), good friends of King and King’s then-husband and collaborator, the late Gerry Goffin.

The Manns’ own romance and marriage is prominently featured in it, often as comic relief. So are some of their compositions (“On Broadway,” “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ ”), along with snippets by others and including that 1929 anthem, “Happy Days Are Here Again,” used by Franklin Roosevelt as his 1932 presidential campaign song, but offered here with reinvented Weil-d new lyrics.

So, what gives…?

Enter sunny producer Paul Blake, strongly suspected to be the mastermind behind this Beautiful gambit.

“Yes…! No,” he said, quickly reversing himself. “The phone rang one day and it was the president of EMI music who said, ‘Paul, we own these songs and I think there’s a show in there.’ Why call me? ‘Well, you got the [Irving] Berlin sisters to give you the rights to “White Christmas.” You’re the most persistent producer I know.’ ” It was a comment Blake had to live up to. But when he approached Carole King, she demurred. A musical? About her? Too personal! Too private! Too invasive! He pleaded, she hemmed; he begged, she hawed; persisting, he made a commitment: “You say no,” he told King, “I say yes. And if you don’t like it, I’ll kill it.”

It was reassurance enough to get King to relent, but when invited to a first reading, she walked out. What?!

When Blake caught up with her, she said she had to leave; the musical, which prominently features her break-up with

(l - r) Curt Bouril (“Don Kirshner”), Liam Tobin (“Gerry Goffin”), Abby Mueller (“Carole King”), Ben Fankhauser (“Barry Mann”), Becky Gulsvig (“Cynthia Weil”) and the Company of Beautiful.

AS BEAUTIFUL AS SHE IS

Goffin, was too emotional for her to watch. But, she added, she could see “people loved it, it was very well written and performed” and, while she didn’t want to get any closer to the production, she would allow it to go on...

Time to exhale.

It took another couple of years to pull it together. The bookwriter Blake wanted, Doug McGrath, also kept saying “no,” but Blake told him what he’d told King: “That’s the first no; we’ll eventually get to yes,” for which he smartly enlisted the help of McGrath’s wife. Bingo.

“Once we really got going,” said the persistor-in-chief, “it worked!” By then, Weil and Mann were on board and the messy collaboration was underway. McGrath wrote the book, made decisions and song choices, with the others — except King — chiming in, disagreeing or not.

Interviewed at their Los Angeles home in June, Mann and Weil said the idea for this musical had started with Carole’s manager at the time.

“She thought it should be a story about all four of us,” offered Mann, “Cynthia, me, Carole and Gerry.”

“Because we were best friends and also fierce competitors, we were to have equal weight,” Weil clarified.

“Then Paul came in and we interviewed writers with him.

When we settled on Doug [McGrath], the first version was about the four of us. But after that first reading, which ended with us getting married and Carole going off to California, everybody felt cheated that they hadn’t heard a single song from Tapestry, which is Carole’s big album.”

“We saw this was a problem,” Mann added. “Of the four of us, she was the famous one. It was her album. People wanted to hear that story.”

King, meanwhile, continued to insist the show should be about the four of them, but by then everybody knew better. “We kept telling Doug that Carole and Gerry were Lucy and Desi and we were Fred and Ethel,” Mann deadpanned, “and it kind of worked out that way.”

How difficult was this to sort out?

“You can imagine,” said Weil, “four people, all with

different ideas of what the show should be…” Less difficult, Mann insisted, because McGrath is “a great guy and real talent who was very sensitive to us.”

Weil and Mann have seven songs in Beautiful to King’s 14, and while they would have loved to have more, “we had to go home with it.

Carole is a terrific talent and she’s family,” said Mann. “If she was a lousy person, it might have been hard, but Carole is so wonderful, we took the realistic view.”

COMING UP FROM BROADWAY:

He pleaded, she hemmed; he begged, she hawed; persisting, he made a commitment: “You say no,” he told King, “I say yes. And if you don’t like it, I’ll kill it.” — PRODUCER PAUL BLAKE

Sylvie Drake was Director of Media Relations & Publications for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts 1994 – 2014. She is a former theatre critic and columnist for the Los Angeles Times and current contributor to culturalweekly.com.

When the Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre opened in 1991, the first Broadway show to take center stage was The Phantom of the Opera. Drawing a quarter of a million people from 26 states into the Denver Performing Arts Complex’s new $34 million facility, the sold-out, ten-week run of the production helped launch The Buell as a beacon for Broadway in the Mile High City.

Now, a new version of the beloved classic promises to cast its spell all over again.

Here are 15 Phantastic Phacts about the Phanomenon to hit Denver this fall: #1 The North American tour is currently the only way to see this new version of The Phantom of the Opera. #2 The Buell Theatre’s high ceiling was built to accommodate the famous chandelier scene. #3 The production is one of the largest shows on tour.

“Carole is not someone who seeks to be the center of attention,” Weil affirmed. “The show is what it was meant to be. That Carole walked out of that first reading saying ‘I don’t want to relive that,’ tells you everything.”

“The musical zips along,” Mann concurred, “and we did get to approve the actors who play us!”

Beautiful had a pre-Broadway try-out in 2013 at San Francisco’s Curran Theatre selling out its run. It opened on Broadway in January 2014.

Fearful of her emotions, King did not attend. When Beautiful was declared a hit, recouping its investment in a dizzying eight months, and when her friends told her how much they loved it, King again relented.

“She sat in the audience in full disguise,” said producer Blake, chuckling at the memory. “No one knew she was there! She couldn’t stop crying. ‘I wasn’t ready for Cynthia and Barry getting married,’ she told me.”

They got her out of her disguise, up on stage and eventually joining in song with the show’s star and King impersonator, Tony® Award-winner Jessie Mueller. It was the joyous capper to an exhilarating evening.

Some kind of wonderful.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

#4 Since its Broadway debut, The Phantom of the Opera has grossed more than $890 million. #5 Worldwide grosses of $6 billion in 2014 have made the stage production surpass the highest-grossing films, such as: Avatar, Titanic, The Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park and Star Wars. #6 The flagship London production opened in 1986 at Her Majesty’s Theatre and celebrated its 25th anniversary in October 2011. #7 The brilliant original production has won more than 70 major theater awards. #8 More than 65,000 performances have been seen by 140 million people in 30 countries and 151 cities in 14 languages worldwide. #9 Twenty trucks are used to move the production from city to city. #10 This production has 52 cast and orchestra members. #11 More than 1,200 costume pieces are used during the show. #12 Over 120 wigs travel with the show — all except five are made from human hair. #13 Phantom uses more than 200 speakers.

GERRY GOFFIN (Words and Music).

Born in Brooklyn in 1939, Gerry Goffin met Carole King at Queens College, and their musical collaboration began almost immediately. They married in 1959, and that same year wrote their first hit song “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” (The Shirelles). The duo penned more than 50 Top-40 hits including “The Locomotion,” “Natural Woman” and “Up on the Roof.” In 1987, Goffin and King were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

Goffin has left an indelible mark on American music.

CAROLE KING (Words and Music).

Pop music would be very different without the contributions of Carole King, who at age 17 wrote her first #1 hit with Gerry Goffin, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” for the Shirelles. The dozens of chart hits Goffin and King wrote during this period became legendary, but it was 1971’s Tapestry that took King to the pinnacle, speaking personally to her contemporaries and providing a spiritual musical backdrop to the decade. More than 400 of her compositions have been recorded by over 1,000 artists, resulting in 100 hit singles and six Grammys.

BARRY MANN (Words and Music) has written the melodies of some of the most influential pop songs in musical history. In addition to “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” the most-played song of the last century, and the songs heard in Beautiful, he composed later standards like “Somewhere Out There” (winner of two Grammys), “Here You Come Again,” “Sometimes When We Touch,” “Just Once” and “Don’t Know Much.” Together, he and Cynthia Weil have amassed an incredible 112 pop, country and R&B awards from Broadcast Music Inc. for significant radio air play. He has been inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

CYNTHIA WEIL (Words and Music) is known as the lyricist of classic songs such as “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” the most-played song of the 20th century. In addition to the songs heard in Beautiful, she set the words to later standards including “Somewhere Out There,” “Here You Come Again,” “He’s So Shy,” “Just Once” and “Don’t Know Much,” to name just a few.

The Epicurean Culinary Group proudly sponsors the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) in part because we are in full agreement — theatre is a spark of life.

To create memories that impact an audience, performance arts deserves a stage. At Epicurean Catering Group, we applaud DCPA for its expertise in setting that stage so well. The DCPA provides the support, logistics and a platform for the incredibly talented performance artists, troupes and companies that take the stage here in Denver.

After 35 years of crafting Colorado’s finest catered events, Epicurean Culinary Group knows first-hand the hours of practice and commitment to detail necessary to set the stage for live experiences that ignite the senses.

It’s in the details that the Epicurean Culinary Group thrives as well, bringing an eye for design and a palate for fine flavor that perfectly complement the stunning urban architecture of the Seawell Grand Ballroom with its unparalleled views. From a swath of red to match a Rocky Mountain sunset to a sparking glass of wine served as the lights of the downtown skyline begin to sparkle, we imbue each event with a unique and zestful spirit.

We do all this to build and bestow remarkable moments. Not because bigger is better. We deliver magnificent, unrivaled experiences as an act of service, dedication and devotion. For 35 years Epicurean Culinary Group has built a reputation par excellence by providing our clients culinary excellence and stellar service. And we want to exceed even that. So we stay hungry and dream, as artists do. We seek wider horizons with unbridled imagination. We go above and beyond.

This unabashed passion for our craft and community results in our clients and their guests experiencing joy and rapport together as we attend to every detail — from that first impression to that last toast. That last dance.

That last goodbye. We’re there from start to finish in our role as memory makers. It is our own collaboration of performance and culinary artistry.

After all, performance arts provide more than a good show — they give us hospitality for the soul. Live events put on by talented actors, musicians, dancers and other artists engage our senses, our minds and our hearts.

Thank you to the DCPA for providing us that spark of life and inspiring all of us to do the same.
