HHello and thank you for joining us at the theatre. Whether you’re attending Life of Pi, and/or THE WIZ, I hope your experience at the Buell is full of the theatrical magic that is uniquely Broadway! And if this happens to be your first time at the theatre…welcome!
I was fortunate enough to see each of these shows during their Broadway runs in New York and think back fondly on those experiences. I also remember thinking that I couldn’t wait for each of them to go on the road to entertain audiences across the country. We are fortunate in Denver to have so many of the most entertaining and moving shows from Broadway come to the Buell Theatre. In fact, at the time of this writing, we are putting the final touches on our 2025/26 season, which we plan to announce in the first quarter of the year.
I’m very much looking forward to all of the exciting new shows that are hitting the road and making their way to Denver. I’m also appreciative of you, the audience, because it’s your support of the theatre that makes the Buell one of the top tour destinations in the country.
In the pages of this Applause magazine, you’ll see many exciting theatrical projects that are playing our stages in the months ahead. I hope you find something that intrigues you and invite you to join us again.

With appreciation,

SEEING YOURSELF IN T H E WIZ
BY LISA BORNSTEIN
SStanding in the pastel-blue living room, hair in some incongruous “Broadway” style, an 8-year-old sings “Home,” wistfully crooning in her best Stephanie Mills style. Three years later, she and her friends choreograph a dizzying, spinning version of “Tornado” for the school dance show.
That little white girl? She loved The Wiz, but she had no idea of the impact the 1975 musical and its 1978 film version had on generations of Black audiences and artists. The Wiz wasn’t the first all-Black Broadway musical (Purlie and Raisin came first), but it was the most impactful.
“On the 50th anniversary, it’s great to be able to step into these shoes and to tell the story,” says actor
Elijah Ahmad Lewis who plays Scarecrow in the national tour. “The Wiz was my first introduction to musical theater and the role that I played was Scarecrow in my eighthgrade production. It is the American story of believing in yourself and knowing that whatever we go through in life, we are able to conquer.”
Lewis was not the only one impacted by the show. Broadway national tour choreographer and leading local Black artists recall the joy and power that their experiences with The Wiz brought.
because it was such a strong part of my childhood.”
For a young Black artist, the show’s impact was particularly powerful. “The meaning of seeing yourself on screen and stage is invaluable; there’s no other feeling like that,” he says. “Knowing you have a place in this industry, that there’s space and room for you was such a big part of my upbringing in understanding art, dance, and movement. Seeing The Wiz and falling in love with it inspired who I’ve become today.”
Cleo Parker Robinson, founder, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance
Cleo Parker Robinson had wellestablished her Denver-based dance company by the time she saw the original Broadway cast of The Wiz.
“It was sort of like a radical cultural thing that took place for an all-Black cast to do The Wizard of Oz,” she says. “We were so inspired by it.”
Robinson choreographed numbers from The Wiz for local performances with Shadow Theatre founder Je rey Nickelson playing the title role. Her son, Malik was just in kindergarten and asked to be in the show.
JaQuel Knight, choreographer, Broadway revival
Knight has had plenty of moments in the spotlight, from choreographing Beyonce’s 2009 hit “Single Ladies” to multiple awards shows and Super Bowls. Still, he says, “Getting the call to be a part of The Wiz was probably more special than any other job
“I said, ‘Malik, this is not for children. There are no children in the show,’” she says. “Well, he managed to get his own audition in the show, and we had a few little ones in there. I think he invited his whole kindergarten class.”
Later, Robinson took the show into schools. She remembers the particular power of the gospel-influenced song “A Brand New Day,” written for the musical by Luther Vandross. “We were coming out of the ’60s and coming out of some real turmoil in our communities, and I think that was like a theme song, that things are going to be brighter.”

Mary Louise Lee, actor and singer
Denver native Mary Louise Lee has spent her life performing in area theaters including playing Glinda in The Wiz for Afterthought Theatre, now Vintage.
“I remember as a little girl, we would be in the basement, and that was when your basement was mirror-cork, mirror-cork,” she says with a laugh.
“My sister and I would be in those mirrors just singing away to the soundtrack of The Wiz. The very first time I saw The Wiz in the movie theater, I was absolutely awed. I loved seeing people who looked like me on the screen.”
“I’ve always loved The Wizard of Oz, but to see a production like The Wiz just gave a whole new meaning to a little Black girl. I would just use my hand, pretending like that was me up onstage, and just singing those songs of joy and hope and love. It was amazing.”
Today, Lee frequently performs “Home” and “Ease on Down the Road” with her band. Her most frequent choice to perform is the song “Believe in Yourself.”
“It has such a powerful meaning for everybody,” she says. “You’ve got to believe in yourself and know that you can do anything you set your mind to. That’s what Lena Horne (as Glinda on Broadway) was telling Dorothy.”
The very first time I saw The Wiz in the movie theater, I was absolutely awed. I loved seeing people who looked like me on the screen.
— MARY LOUISE LEE, DENVER ACTOR AND SINGER
Betty Hart, actor, director and co-artistic director of Local Theatre Company
“[The Wizard of Oz] never resonated with me,” says Betty Hart. “I grew up in Miami, we had orange groves, but farms?”
Seeing The Wiz as a teen was a di erent story. “Something about The Wiz caused me to lean in in a way that The Wizard of Oz caused me to lean back,” she says. “The movie aspect of The Wiz is one of the touchstones as a teen to be able to look up and see incredible Black artists performing with passion and heart and humor. It was a further confirmation that I wasn’t crazy for wanting to do it.”
The magnitude of the stars populating the screen further swayed her.
To see iconic celebrities such as Diana Ross, comedian Nipsey Russell, and Michael Jackson in the roles is “an a rmation of what Black artists and all artists are seeking. You want to be perceived as artists, and you want to be perceived as the best, and they all were. You think, I can be a part of that.”
APR 8 – 26 • BUELL THEATRE

COMING UP FROM BROADWAY & JULIET
It’s time to flip the script on a centuries-old tale. & Juliet hits the Buell Theatre this summer, bringing your favorite pop anthems and a new romance to the stage. Forget the Juliet you thought you knew and see what might have happened if she ditched her untimely ending for a new life and a new love.
With a book by Emmy and Golden Globe-winning writer David West Read (“Schitt’s Creek”) and music by internationally recognized producer Max Martin, & Juliet was launched into the spotlight after transferring to the West End. Upon its Broadway opening, audiences fell in love with the timely, hilarious, and high-energy show. Variety said “& Juliet is exactly the show Broadway needs right now: fun, exuberant, supremely joyful, [and] hilarious…”
& Juliet features beloved tracks like “Baby One More Time,” “Stronger,” and more by Britney Spears; “Roar,” “Teenage Dream,” and other hits from Katy Perry, plus dozens of other recognizable songs from artists including The Backstreet Boys, Demi Lovato, and Ariana Grande.
With great music comes dancing — and Tony Award-nominated choreographer Jennifer Weber delivers. The Washington Post says & Juliet is “a pull-out-all-the-stops sensation that gets your heart racing.”
Catch this romantic comedy when it comes to Denver on June 4 – 15 and see what life could be after Romeo. The only tragedy would be missing it.

TThese days, there’s a commemorative day for everything. A quick Google search led to the National Today website, which lists 132 dates dedicated to literature alone.
To celebrate National Reading Month (March), Read Across America Week (March 2-6), Shakespeare Week (March 21-27) and, of course, Edible Book Day (April 1) — because who doesn’t like to nibble on paper and ink? — it’s a perfect time to introduce Denver Center for the Performing Arts audiences to Book Stars.
Statistically speaking, the value of early childhood literacy is enormous. According to E ective Early Childhood Programs: Turning Knowledge Into Action, 37% of children start kindergarten without the literacy skills necessary for lifelong learning and only 2% can read simple sight words. Yet, the National Commission on Reading has identified that the single most significant factor influencing a child’s early educational success is an introduction to books and being read to at home prior to beginning school.
So, in 2016, DCPA Education & Community Engagement introduced Book Stars, an early childhood literacy program designed for PreK through Kindergarten students. Each year, the Education team carefully selects a variety of beloved children’s stories to take to area schools and community centers. This year’s selection includes Yoko by Rosemary Wells, The Very Quiet Cricket by Eric Carle, They Say Blue by Jillan Tamaki and Goodnight Moon by Doreen Cronin among a dozen others.
The team of 15 teaching artists doesn’t just read a book to excited children; instead, they come prepared with props and activities that are used by the children to act out the stories, embody the characters, and solve the problems posed in the plot. Unbeknownst to the children, they are learning literacy concepts for life including print motivation, print awareness, letter recognition, and phonological awareness.
These free 30-minute workshops are so popular that the program currently has a waitlist. In fact, last year the program offered 1,380 workshops for 27,026 children. That’s nearly eight workshops per day throughout the school year. The program continues to see exponential growth, increasing more than 15% in each of the previous years. In total, more than 121,000 students have participated in Book Stars since its inception.
Schools and community centers serving PreK through Kindergarten students are encouraged to join the waitlist at education@dcpa.org

TPUPPETEERS BRING ANIMALS TO LIFE IN
The life of Pi has been long and fruitful, although full of challenges for the title character. The peregrinations of Piscine Molitor Patel began with the best-selling 2001 novel by Canadian author Yann Martel, continuing 11 years later with the Ang Lee film, which won four Academy Awards. In 2023, it moved to Broadway in an adaptation by British playwright and actor Lolita Chakrabaty, in a production that won three Tony Awards and five Olivier Awards.
With the self-given nickname Pi, young Pi explores and adopts as his own Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity while helping his family run their zoo in Pondicherry, India. Leaving the repressive government of Indira Gandhi in India, the family emigrates to Canada with the zoo. But when a storm sinks their ship, Pi is left adrift on a lifeboat with a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, and a tiger named Richard Parker for company.
As the boat drifts, so too does the story, an examination of domination, cooperation and the quest for survival. The novel was considered unfilmable but instead emerged as a critical success. Onstage, animalistic natures are recreated through puppetry, created for the London stage by Nick Barnes and Finn Caldwell. Last month, the stage production began its North American tour in Washington,
BY LISA BORNSTEIN
D.C., with Jon Hoche as the associate puppetry and movement director.
“The puppets in Life of Pi are like no other,” Hoche says. “You could say that they use concepts and ideas from Bunraku puppetry, a Japanese traditional puppetry style, where a small human-like puppet is puppeteered by three people.”
In fact, three actors are required to puppeteer Richard Parker, in order to give him both lithe felinity and maneating ferocity. Animals are not the only parts of the awardwinning set brought to life by the puppeteers.
“Besides the animals, there are objects in the show being puppeteered to act as objects in the ocean after a massive shipwreck,” Hoche says. “We have eight dedicated puppeteers in our cast that focus mainly on the animals but every member of the acting ensemble also puppeteers something in the show.”
Hoche’s own love of puppetry began as a child, watching TV shows including “The Muppet Show” and “Eureeka’s Castle.” As a young actor in New York, he was cast by the downtown company Vampire Cowboys in a sci-fi comic play called Fight Girl/Battle World. On the first day of rehearsal, he was told his character had become a puppet.

Puppets appeal to the audience’s sense of play, and there is a silent contract between the audience and the puppeteers to suspend all disbelief.
— FINN CALDWELL, PUPPET CO-DESIGNER
“I took to it rather quickly,” he says. He continued performing with them as a puppeteer, leading him to study with The Jim Henson Company and serve as puppet captain on the national tour of War Horse. Hoche made his Broadway debut in King Kong as the title character.
“I think we all are puppeteers as children,” Hoche says. “We have such active imaginations, we bring action figures, dolls, or stuffed animals to life. I love to keep that essence, that spark alive through puppetry. I also love the ensemble nature of multiple people coming together to bring a single entity to life.”
Puppets are often thought of as children’s fare, but those in Life of Pi can be terrifying and vicious. The tiger alone had to jump, climb, attack prey, and even swim. Barnes and Caldwell began their design process by experimenting with simple shapes cut from wood, then moved on to computer aided design and manufacturing. Puppets were milled, 3D printed, and laser cut.
“Richard Parker is made to look weather beaten and like driftwood, but the audience will consistently see the form of the tiger,” Barnes says. “The orangutan is more like a traditional Japanese bunraku puppet with a flexible nylon rod creating its rib cage. The operation of the giraffe is more like object puppetry, whilst Richard Parker and the orangutan are operated by three people and are the most complex puppets in the show.”
As former performers, Barnes and Caldwell were aware that the puppeteers had to create character as well as manipulate the puppets.
“The most important thing to remember is that the audience needs to believe the puppet is alive. If that doesn’t
happen, everything else is lost,” Caldwell says. “Puppets appeal to the audience’s sense of play, and there is a silent contract between the audience and the puppeteers to suspend all disbelief. It’s the same as two children agreeing to play with a toy. There’s an unspoken agreement that the object is alive.”
That tacit agreement reflects the play’s themes through its design. When Pi eventually arrives in Mexico, the police there prefer one version of his story to the other. The question of a reliable narrator and storytelling in general pervade the tale, much as the puppets create a flexible reality.
Nearly every member of the cast takes on at least one puppet during the play. Bringing them to life requires precise breath control and flexible bodies with backgrounds in dance, acrobatics or martial arts. All of that physical labor onstage takes a toll offstage, says Fred Davis, one of the puppeteers who originated the role of the tiger Richard Parker.
“We all had to do quite intense weight, endurance and stamina training in order to be able to puppeteer the tiger effectively,” he says. “We achieved this with thorough physical warm-ups, wearing ankle, wrist, or chest weights while rehearsing, and by just using the puppets for as long as we could bear to in each rehearsal session. It was essential to build the required muscles as early on as possible so as to reduce the chance of injury and to facilitate us to be able to rehearse the show and not have to stop for a rest because of fatigue.”
The puppets and actors are coworkers, bringing the mystical, spiritual essence of Life of Pi to live performance, says Hoche.
“I could not imagine this amazing story being told on stage any other way.”

[The arts] inform, inspire, and uplift while bringing the community together.
— ANDY AYE, CO/AZ/NV/NM MARKET LEADER, GIS
TThe arts are a significant part of making Denver an amazing place to live and work.

That is why U.S. Bank is a long-time supporter of the magnificent programs and spectacular performances at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA).
The arts educate, promote understanding, broaden our perspectives, and enable communities to share rich cultural experiences. Denver is fortunate to have a thriving arts community, which is home to some of the nation’s finest theatres, museums, and artists.
“We’re proud to serve the DCPA because it provides the best in live entertainment, in addition to education for all ages through the art of theatre,” said Andy Aye, Global Industrials and Services Market Leader for Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. “We know the critical role that the arts play in our society. They inform, inspire and uplift while bringing the community together.”
In 2023, the U.S. Bank Foundation committed $96.4 million in corporate contributions to nonprofit organizations across the entire enterprise, $3.1 million of which was invested to Colorado nonprofits. Those contributions had an emphasis on community development diversity and inclusion, financial education, and the environment. Additionally, its employees volunteered more than 360,000 hours, demonstrating that employee engagement is a major component of its community success.
“The DCPA brings us together to appreciate our diversity of thought, perspective, and talent,” said Aye. “I am always amazed at how much we share when we all laugh or gasp during a key moment in a performance. It is a sense of participation and belonging that strengthens our community. Supporting the DCPA is making an investment in ourselves, the arts, and the place we call home.”
