Mall*Mart:10 plays to watch


"Mall-Mart: The Musical"
Curious Theatre
By: Joan Holden (book) and Bruce Barthol (lyrics)

When: April 12-22 at the University of Colorado-Boulder; April 28-June 9 at the Acoma Center in Denver.

The story: This new comic musical commissioned by Curious follows "the best businessman ever," who returns from World War II to revolutionize retail sales. Sound like someone you know? This fast-paced epic comedy shows the price that must be paid to get the best price possible.

Why this play's the thing: This is not only Curious' first musical, it is a complete collaboration with CU-Boulder's department of theater and dance. The cast mixes five professional actors with eight CU ensemble actors. Production duties will be evenly shared as well.
