2009-10 Season

Plaza Suite

By Neil Simon
Peek into the lives of the three separate couples occupying Suite 719 at New York City’s Plaza Hotel on three different occasions. The first couple is less than blissfully married and are spending an anniversary in the same suite that they had their honeymoon in. The second couple are old acquaintances meeting for a drink with rather different agendas. We find the last couple frantically trying to coax their nervous daughter out of the bathroom for her own wedding while the guests are waiting for them downstairs.

The play is constructed for each scene to be progressively more humorous.

Forever Plaid

By Stuart Ross
1950’s style clean-cut quartet “The Plaids” had their chances for stardom cut short when they died in a crash with a bus load of Catholic school girls. Fortunately, they are back from the afterlife with one last chance for musical greatness. This critically acclaimed musical is rich with great tunes like, “Three Coins in the Fountain”, “Undecided”, “Gotta Be This or That”, “Moments to Remember”, “Crazy ‘Bout Ya, Baby”, “Sixteen Tons”, “Chain Gang”, “Cry”, “Heart and Soul”, “Lady of Spain”, “Shangri-La”, “Rags to Riches”, and “Love is a Many-Splendored Thing”.

Cyrano DeBergerac

By Edmond Rostand
This classic piece, set in the 1600’s, tells the tale of the brilliant soldier and poet, Cyrano DeBergerac who, despite his intelligence, talent and skill, believes that he can never be loved because of his exceptionally large nose. He uses his talent with words to help the handsome but tongue-tied fellow soldier, Christian, woo the beautiful Roxanne. Although Cyrano secretly loves her, he only wants to see her happy. Filled with love and dramatic sword fights this play is also responsible for the word “panache” being introduced to the English language.

Cinderella

Music by Richard Rodgers
Book & Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
The beloved fairy tale told with music and song. Abused by her step-mother and horrible step-sisters, the sweet Cinderella is visited by a fairy god-mother who magically provides her with the gown and gilded coach to go to the royal ball. While there, the prince falls madly in love with her, but the magic wears off at midnight and Cinderella flees without telling the prince who she really is. Only a single glass slipper is left behind for the prince to use to find his true love.

He searches the kingdom and when he finds the foot that fits – happily ever after.

Shannon is on the verge of his second nervous breakdown when he brings his tour group of young women and their chaperone to a cheap hotel run by an old friend. They have turned against him due to his indiscretion with one of the under-aged members of the group.

Two New York producers scheme to make a fortune by producing a flop for Broadway. The plan can only work if the show is a total failure.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've seen several slows at this theater and have always enjoyed them.  The acting has always been good and the sets and costumes are well done. The theater itself is well designed so you won't get a bad seat. I do recommend arriving early as it is tricky to find parking.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (CATCF) at Theater Denton on Sunday.  What a fun way to spend a couple of hours on a hot summer day.  Cool theater off the square.  Much of it in its original glory.  The over all production was fantastic.  The singing, acting and the MUSIC 🎵, all exceeded my expectations.  The music was exceptional. Such talented artists.  A friend of mine played violin in the performance.  She played beautifully.  I was actually moved to tears during the show as I was transported back to fond memories of my youth, and to my  childhood memories of CATCF.

Our seats were perfect for viewing characters across the stage.  I didn’t see a bad seat (obstructed) in the house.

Parking - Denton can be tricky, especially The Square, and weekends.  Come early so you’re not stressing over finding a spot (like I did).

They sell snacks and beverages (alcoholic & nonalcoholic) at the concession store. They take cash and credit cards.

There’s a cute little WONKA CANDY SHOP spot for photo ops inside the lounge.  Candy props and all!

Final thought-
I expected the theater to be freezing inside.  It wasn’t.  It was cool enough inside to make me forget about the extreme heat outside. ☺️

This was my first time attending a show at Theater Denton.  I’m  looking forward to the upcoming shows I’ll see next.

Wonderful community production with an extremely talented cast!  We also loved the historical theater and the vintage vibe. Free parking was easier to find than we expected!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love seeing shows at Campus as well as at the Annex at the mall. I would recommend y'all set up a separate Google listing for your mall location with location details for out of towners. Specifically letting them know about the back door entrance & parking. It will go a long way in getting the word out about entertainment options on that side of town if it pops up in google & map searches!
