SATURDAY NIGHT ALIVE

SAVE THE DATE FOR MARCH 11, 2023

For one magical night Colorado’s most generous theatre fans are coming together to celebrate live theatre and its transformative power in our lives. And you’re invited.

Saturday Night Alive 2022 was a success!

Talk about a spectacular Spectacular! Saturday Night Alive 2022 transported 500 guests to the glamour and glitz of the Moulin Rouge. Held on June 25, the DCPA’s 41st annual fundraiser raised more than $830,000 for arts and education. Lynn & Kevin McDonald of the Genesee Mountain Foundation were honored with the Daniel L. Ritchie Spotlight Award for their outstanding philanthropic contributions to DCPA Education including Theater for Young Audiences.

The soiree included an online luxury auction featuring DCPA VIP Theatre experiences, travel packages all over the world courtesy of hotel partner the Westin Denver Downtown, a seated, three course dinner, and a memorable performance by Moulin Rouge! The Musical.

Saturday Night Alive 2022 to include that evening’s performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical at the Buell Theatre

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is the winner of ten 2021 Tony Awards including Best Musical, the Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Musical and it received ten Outer Critics Circle Award Honor citations, including New Broadway Musical.

Enter a world of splendor and romance, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur and glory! A world where Bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows and revel in electrifying enchantment. Pop the champagne and prepare for the spectacular spectacular… Welcome to Moulin Rouge! The Musical.

Baz Luhrmann’s iconic film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza. Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a theatrical celebration of Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and – above all – Love. Moulin Rouge! The Musical is more than a musical; it is a state of mind.

As in the film, Moulin Rouge! The Musical celebrates over 160 years of music – from Offenbach to Lady Gaga. The stage musical features many of the iconic songs from the movie and also includes recent hits released since the movie premiered 20 years ago.
