ARTIST PROFILE

LEA SALONGA: THE HUMAN HEART TOUR With her perfect pitch and powerhouse voice, it’s easy to see why Lea Salonga’s career has spanned decades. Her resume is a collection of starring roles in some of the biggest musicals in the recent past, as well as multiple trailblazing honors.

Born and raised in the Philippines, Lea started her professional career at the age of seven in a production of The King and I and it seems like she hasn’t been out of the spotlight since. Her big break came in 1989 when she was chosen to originate the role of Kim in the musical Miss Saigon in London’s West End. She also starred in the Broadway production in 1991. She became the first woman of Asian descent to win a Tony Award for her performance as Kim. She has also garnered acclaim for her portrayals of both Eponine and Fantine in Les Misérables, Mei Li in Rogers and Hammerstein’s Flower Drum Song, Grizabella in Cats, and most recently as Erzulie, the goddess of love, in Once on This Island.

But you don’t need to have stepped foot inside a Broadway or West End theater to know and love Lea Salonga’s voice. She was named a Disney Legend in 2011 for providing the singing voice of two Disney princesses, Jasmine from Aladdin and Mulan from Mulan and Mulan II. She’s also appeared on television in a number of projects, including ER, As the World Turns, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and as a judge for the Miss Universe pageant in 2011. In the Philippines, she’s a judge for The Voice.

In addition to the multiple cast recordings and soundtracks that she’s contributed to, Lea also has multiple recordings of her own.

Her repertoire on these albums ranges from traditional songs of the Philippines to Top 40 pop hits, as well as some of the musical songs that she’s so famous for. Her night at LTAC will be just as eclectic and is sure to delight audiences of all ages.

BEHIND THE MUSIC

60

‘s the Musical

The 1960s was a pivotal time in this country’s history. The Civil Rights Movement and the Women’s Movement took shape. The Vietnam War caused massive protests. John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. were assassinated. We landed on the moon.

It was an incredible time for music, with the rise of The Beatles and the Rolling Stones with the British Invasion. The music coming from artists in the United States, though, reflected much of what was happening politically and changing social norms. This is evident with the rise of female artists, chronicled in Beehive: The 60’s Musical.

Created by Larry Gallagher, Beehive tells the story of six women who came of age during the decade, looking back at everything that was happening through the most celebrated and memorable songs

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

of the era. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Gallagher explained that he wanted to create a musical that would feature the songs he grew up with, and he and colleague Skip Brevis looked at videotape and film focused on music of the decade and researched weekly Top 10 records for every single year of the ’60s.

Beehive initially opened for a limited two-week run in 1985 at a club in New York City called Sweetwaters, where both Gallagher and Brevis worked. Its immediate success led to an extended run, and then a move to an OffBroadway house and national tours.

The Arts Center’s version features Candy Brown as director, with musical direction by Michael Williams, set design by Kevin Nelson, lighting design by Jen Kiser, costume design

by Kevin Copenhaver, sound design by Allen Noftall, and wig and hair design

by Diana Ben-Kiki. The cast features powerhouse (and LTAC favorites) Piper Arpan, Karen Jeffries, Sharon Kay White, and Sheryl Renee, along with newcomers Melody Moore and Valerie Igoe.

With songs from such luminaries as Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Lesley Gore, and the Supremes, Director Candy Brown says, “I dare you to stay seated!”

CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE Do you remember listening to an entire album when you first got it? The thrill of dropping the needle on the greatest music ever recorded? Classic Albums Live does. Note for note, cut for cut. That’s Classic Albums Live’s tag line, and for good reason: they perform every single sound on the album they’re covering, without any gimmicks that tribute bands often employ. Instead, they focus on the music itself, painstakingly recreating an album from cover to cover.

“We don’t dress up or wear any sort of costume. We just stand there and play. All of our energy is put into the music,” says Classic Albums Live founder Craig Martin. “We want the performance to sound exactly like the album.”

When Classic Albums Live first performed at the Arts Center with

SCFD HONORS THE LONE TREE ARTS CENTER In 2011, the Lone Tree Arts Center was just getting off the ground. As a new organization, eager to serve the Denver community and make our mark as a cultural leader, we focused on filling a need for outstanding, professional artistry in the thriving south metro area. Artistic excellence continues to drive our work, and so far, we have six prestigious industry awards to show for it.

Along with the Rex Morgan Award recognition, the Arts Center also received a monetary award, made possible through the generosity of PNC Bank. This funding will support our Sensory Friendly Initiative and other Community Impact programs that help us reach underserved audiences through the arts. These include Classroom on Stage Outreach to Title 1 Schools; SPARK!, a free cultural series for adults with memory loss and caregivers; and Arts in the Afternoon, a daytime series that invites seniors to be active arts patrons.

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

Recently, we brought home yet another award that represents the impact of our commitment to breaking down barriers for audiences with limited access to quality arts and culture.

This past November, the Arts Center received the 2018 Rex Morgan Award for Innovative Partnership and Regional Cooperation, a prestigious honor from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). The citizens of the SCFD help to support more than 300 arts organizations throughout the seven-county Denver metro area.

Since 1998, SCFD has recognized individuals—visionaries and change makers—whose leadership has helped the arts flourish for the benefit of local citizens, following the example of SCFD pioneer, Rex Morgan, for whom the award is named. However, this year, SCFD added a new category to recognize organizations, and the Arts Center is the first to achieve this distinction. The recognition from SCFD is particularly meaningful because it shines the spotlight on the Arts Center’s signature Sensory Friendly Initiative and our important work to ensure access, encourage participation, and extend welcome to those in our community with intellectual, developmental, and sensory disabilities.

We launched Sensory Friendly programming within a year of opening our doors. In 2012, working with local experts in the disabilities field, we presented a modified, low-sensory performance of our Home for the

That explains why on the day the Arts Center received word of the award, the whole team beamed with pride and gratitude. “I think we each had a ‘lump-in-the-throat’ moment, realizing that our work resonated so deeply, even among those who were learning about it for the first time through our nomination,” Lisa recalls.

Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet, LTAC Executive Director Lisa Rigsby Peterson, and fellow honorees Federico Peña and Dan Hopkins

Holidays spectacular. This helped us understand the need for accessible performing arts in our community.

We also discovered that our emerging organization could lead the way in providing these opportunities!

Today, we approach the Sensory Friendly Initiative with the same ambition that drives every other aspect of our programming. With a full season of low-sensory performances in our SF Family Tree series, usher training for adults with special needs, and a new collaboration with Arapahoe Community College’s Elevate program to help students with intellectual or developmental disabilities explore careers in the arts, the Arts Center is now among the visionaries and change makers in our region.

“Sensory Friendly work is part of our DNA,” explains Lisa Rigsby Peterson, executive director. “Everyone, from our technical team, to our administrative staff, to our dedicated volunteers, embraces what we do and why we do it.”

This collective sense of pride also explains why, on November 28, the night of the SCFD’s public celebration in downtown Denver, the Arts Center’s cheering section was 29 strong, including staff, volunteers, corporate partners, and current and former City Council leaders.

Many other local arts organizations were among the crowd of 600 attendees, including many we have inspired in the common purpose of making Denver the most sensory friendly city in the nation. By sharing best practices, convening a network, and commissioning the finest artists in our region, including Colorado Symphony, Colorado Ballet, Swallow Hill Music, Phamaly Theatre Company, Fiesta Colorado, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Company, and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, we are collaborators—not competitors— in this movement.

The momentum continues to build, and now, six years after launching programs for those who have been excluded, the Arts Center is proud to be a leader in a community-wide initiative that is helping to redefine what audiences could—and should— look like in the 21st Century. Our greatest reward comes from doing our part to ensure that the arts are for everyone!

Ruben Sings Luther: An Evening of Luther Vandross Starring Ruben Studdard Wednesday, March 13 at 7:30pm Born in Germany, Christopher Ruben Studdard would later grow up in his beloved Birmingham, Alabama and begin an amazing journey that would lead him from a young boy who expressed his love for music, through singing at Rising Sun Baptist Church, to later having to choose between his love for music and his love for football. His love for music would eventually prevail and would lead him to what was perhaps his hardest challenge, which was convincing his mother that he should forego his music major at Alabama A&M to pursue his dream of singing. They reached a compromise; if he did not make strides in music within five years, he would go back to college.

On his quest for success and inspired by his idol, Fred Hammond, Ruben sang with local gospel groups and ventured into the R&B/jazz arenas. He later became the lead singer for local Birmingham R&B/ jazz group, Just A Few Cats.

Ruben’s involvement with Just A Few Cats would become a significant factor in his life. It was a background singer for the group that urged him to escort her to what he considered a cheesy talent show. While there, he also auditioned, and he was the one who ended up in front of the judges. This was the beginning of a phenomenal phase of his life.

The year was 2002 and the show was American Idol.

Sponsored by: 2018-2019 Season Sponsor

From the beginning of his stint on American Idol, Ruben made his presence known. His humble spirit and a voice so smooth that R&B legend Gladys Knight dubbed him “The Velvet Teddy Bear,” won the hearts of many. Each week Ruben was a star that shone brightly. His infectious personality and soulful voice led him to become the winner by over 100,000 votes.

His debut single, “Flying Without Wings/Superstar,” quickly achieved gold status. He earned a 2003 Grammy nomination for Best R&B Male Vocal Performance for “Superstar.” He also received a Billboard Award, BET Image Award, Teen Choice Award, and nominations for numerous other music awards.

His first full CD, Soulful, was released in December 2003 and still holds the record as the highest debut of any American Idol winner, with over 400,000 copies sold during its first week. Soulful would go on to sell approximately 1.8 million copies. The single “Sorry 2004” from this album reached #9 in the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard R&B singles chart. He has recorded five other successful albums since, and is thrilled to release his latest album as a tribute to one of his idols, Luther Vandross.

“For Ruben Sings Luther, my goal was not only to pay tribute to Luther but to add my own passion on top of Luther’s brilliant songs.

It all started with my mom who has always loved Luther and played his music in our home continuously−especially during Christmas. You can say I grew up with the world’s biggest Luther fan. In my young teens, I would perform a Luther song or two at weddings and people would keep requesting more of his hits. I recorded ‘Superstar’ awhile back which was Grammy nominated and sang different Luther songs during my live shows. But people always asked when I was going to do an album of Luther’s songs. Happily, the day has arrived. It was a thrilling experience selecting the songs from his different albums and putting my own interpretation on them. I am so proud of this record,” comments Ruben.

“As for the tour, we are not only recreating some of the production elements, musicians, background singers, wardrobe and lighting that were ever-present when Luther took the stage, but my heart and soul will be in every note I sing as I honor one of the greatest vocalists we’ve ever had.”

Rockapella Friday, March 15 at 8pm Rockapella has become one of the world’s most sophisticated, lasting, and imitated vocal groups around today. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more influential group out there in this new era of movies like Pitch Perfect, network television a cappella shows, and innumerable college vocal groups that own the corner of cool on campuses everywhere.

Since the early ’90s, when they first achieved national television fame on PBS’s Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, they’ve toured the globe and provided a funky powerful soundtrack to several generations of vocal music fans, while keeping it all fresh along the way. With buckets of catchy original pop songs, and complete contemporary revisions of sparkling Motown, pop, and soul classics, this group has always been the one to watch. “Often imitated−never duplicated” applies here. Now they’re better than ever!

As one of the progenitors of the astonishing full-band sound of “contemporary” a cappella, Rockapella has shown every audience the raw power of pure vocal talent and originality. “There’s nothing in the way between us and the audience; it’s very human music,” says Rockapella’s human beatbox Jeff Thacher. No instruments, no tracks, no mirrors…but never lame.

Calvin C. Jones was born and raised in East St. Louis, IL, and grew up idolizing Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. He started singing at an early age, then joined the vocal group Men of Note at 13 and traveled the world as one of their lead singers for many years.

PROFILE

SNAP SNAP comes to the LTAC fresh from their first American stop off-Broadway in Midtown Manhattan. All the way from Busan, South Korea, this cast of Korea’s greatest illusion artists is sure to capture your attention with their captivating magic and sleight of hand.

Chances are you’ve seen magicians before, but from start to finish, this troupe will surprise you with their seemingly impossible tricks in an ingeniously staged magic show which oozes with humor and mystery. The magicians from SNAP sought inspiration from Charlie Chaplin for his slapstick style comedy and silent storytelling.

This couldn’t be more evident as they brilliantly weave these Chaplinesque visual movements with pantomime, dance, juggling, comedy, and more in this multi-faceted performance.

SNAP is an exciting, heartwarming and family-friendly show with an interesting plot. When the three tricksters find a sealed door which transcends all of space and time, they encounter various characters such as the Alchemist, the Time Traveler, the Dreamer, and more. Together, they take you through a dreamlike fantasy experience of mystery and illusion ending through the same door of time and space as they say their farewells.

Audiences of all ages will be captivated by these extraordinary artists. The young will be mesmerized by the wonder and mystery of this perform-ance and the rest of us will be reminded of our childhood curiosity and awe.

You’ll want to grab your tickets now— before POOF! They’re gone!

SNAP Sunday, May 5 at 1:30pm and 7pm

Even before the Arts Center opened, the LTAC Guild was there and ready to help. Donating time and resources, this group of motivated women and men work behind the scenes to fundraise and bring awareness to LTAC year-round. One of the most important ways they support LTAC is by underwriting children’s access to theater by providing ticket fees and bus fees for hundreds of children to attend live theater at LTAC. It’s exciting to see their faces light up when an actor comes on the stage—and the Guild makes that happen! Recently the Guild expanded their support of LTAC programming by including support for sensory friendly programs.

In addition, the Guild uses its fundraising reach for other projects at LTAC such as providing booster seats for children in the Main Stage Theater and paying for the installation of a permanent bar in the Terrace Theater. This dynamic group works hard year-round with fundraisers including an opening night Gala and spring fashion show. They also host events and “friend-raisers” with behind-the-scenes tours and other unique activities. The Guild’s annual holiday community tradition of a tree lighting Holiday Kick-Off has now become part of the annual City of Lone Tree Merry Days. Sound like too much fun to miss? Join this dynamic group today by visiting lonetreeartscenterguild.org.
