Colorado native Beth Malone lived out a lifelong dream on Aug. 23, singing  the national anthem before the Denver Broncos’ 18-17 preseason loss to the Houston Texans at Mile High Stadium. In this fun video, we follow Malone through rehearsal, her interview with Cheryl Preheim of 9News, her game-day sound check, being joined by her family, and finally, her triumphant moment in front of 75,000 Broncos fans.

Malone will play the title character in the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ upcoming launch of the new The Unsinkable Molly Brown. It opens for previews on Sept. 12 and runs through Oct. 26. Tickets are on sale now at 303-893-4100 or go to the Denver Center’s web site at www.denvercenter.org.
