Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) announces the company and creative team for What a Glorious Feeling!. Produced by DCPA Cabaret, this fictional account of what might have taken place behind the scenes during the making of the classic film Singin’ in the Rain, plays the Garner Galleria Theatre Nov. 7, 2026 – Apr. 4, 2027, and is part of the 2026/27 Broadway subscription package.
“Bringing What a Glorious Feeling! to the Garner Galleria Theatre is such a privilege, as it features an intimate sneak peek into the life and creative process of a dancer, a story deeply reflective of my own, and one often told without words,” says Director and Choreographer, Piper Lindsay Arpan. “Celebrating a snapshot of Hollywood’s Golden Age and featuring the most iconic performances from the MGM classic Singin’ in the Rain, this fictional account reveals the beauty, sweat, and chaos from which creativity inevitably blooms. The dancing in this piece will knock your socks off, and our all-local cast of triple threats is sure to sweep our audiences off their feet along with them.” Piper makes her Denver Center for the Performing Arts Director and Choreographer debut with What a Glorious Feeling!.
The What a Glorious Feeling! company includes Kayleigh Bernier as Debbie Reynolds; Matthew Dailey as Gene Kelly and Co-Choreographer; Drew Horwitz as Arthur Freed; David Otto as Stanley Donen; Leiney Rigg as Jeanne Coyne; David Nehls as Music Director and Kenny the Accompanist; Kira Wendland, female swing; Bob Hoppe, male swing; and Jordan Ortman, musician substitute.
The What a Glorious Feeling! creative team includes Lisa M. Orzolek, Scenic Design; Sarah Zinn, Costume Design; Charles R. MacLeod, Lighting Design; Alex Billman, Sound Design; Carrie Colton, Intimacy/Fight Consultant.
