The season begins with Legally Blonde Feb. 2-14 in the Buell Theatre and ends with Shrek the Musical, also at the Buell, starting in November.
The DCA subscription series also includes the Denver Center Theatre Company's new original musical, Mama Hated Diesels, which had already been announced by DCTC. Its creators are Randal Myler and Dan Wheetman, co-authors of the Denver Center hits Fire on the Mountain and It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues. The "rambunctious musical portrait of America's long-distance truckers, drawn from interviews with the men and women who criss-cross the country in their 18-wheelers," will play the Stage Theatre (March 19-May 9) at Denver Center for the Performing Arts. DCPA is the home of DCA and DCTC.
South Pacific will also play the DCA season.
