Costume Designer Paul Tazewell and actor Beth Malone, pictured left, are at the Denver Center today for first fittings for the upcoming launch of the  newly refreshed musical, The Unsinkable Molly Brown.

The show opens for previews on Sept. 12 in the Stage Theatre and runs through Oct. 26.

Tazewell has been nominated for five Tony Awards as a costume designer, and has worked in the worlds of dance and opera as well. He has earned three Helen Hayes Awards for his work, and the Lucille Lortel Award (for On the Town).

While Tazewell created his designs in New York as part of his normal pre-production duties, his costumes will be built in Denver by the Denver Center costuming team in collaboration with Tazewell and his assistant.  Look here for our interview with Tazewell soon.

Molly Brown rehearsals begin in Denver on Aug. 5. Tazewell, Malone (a Castle Rock native and graduate of Douglas County High School) will be  in Denver then, along with entire the cast and crew to continue preparations for the Sept. 12 opening.

Tickets are on sale now at 303-893-4100. Online sales are temporarily  suspended in preparation for a re-launch of the Denver Center’s web site at www.denvercenter.org. Online ticket sales will resume Wednesday, July 30.
