We have attended several performances at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. The Buell Theater, in particular, is beautiful. The entire setting is very nice with a large airy atrium connecting the various theaters and a parking garage attached. Parking was reasonable at $12 on a Sunday. More

The choice of venues, the small theater to the large Buell. In three evenings we experienced the Buell, Ellie Caukins, and the Galleria. Each unique theater had its own special charm and suited its venue perfectly! More

We saw the Johnny Cash show, it was a great show. I liked that no one person tried to be Johnny but they used several great singers to tell the story and sing his songs. More
