Littleton native Matthew Dailey, a cast member in the national touring production of Miss Saigon, sang the National Anthem before the Denver Broncos’ game against the San Francisco 49ers on August 19 at Mile High Stadium. He was accompanied by family, friends and fellow cast member Rae Leigh Case of Arvada. Dailey, a graduate of Arapahoe High School, last visited Denver in the Arvada Center’s 2018 production of A Chorus Line and the 2016 national touring production of Jersey Boys. Miss Saigon comes to the Buell Theatre from September 10-22. “We can’t wait to bring this amazing show back to our hometown,” Dailey said.
