“The Andrews Brothers” In this new madcap 1940s musical by Roger Bean, three soldiers find themselves giving the performance of a lifetime after a certain distaff singing trio fails to arrive at their USO gig. Songs include “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Shoo Shoo Baby” and “Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree” — a few octaves lower than you are used to. Through Sept. 26. Rocky Mountain Rep, 1025 Grand Ave., Grand Lake, 970-627-3421 or
“Born Yesterday” Harry Brock is a Washington, D.C., power broker who hires a magazine reporter to teach his mistress what it takes to make a good impression on Washington’s elite. But when the reporter and his girl fall in love, the play becomes a statement on feminism and the power one woman can hold. By Garsin Kanin. Though Sept. 26. Presented by Spotlight Theatre Company at the John Hand Theatre, 7653 E. First Place, 720-880-8727 or
“The King and I” Rodgers and Hammerstein musical about the widowed teacher who moves from England to Siam with her son to tutor the children of the king of Siam. Despite cultural conflicts, Anna and the king find themselves getting along just fine. Through Oct. 18. Union Colony Dinner Theatre, 802 Ninth Ave., Greeley, 970-352-2900 or
“Phantom” This is not Andrew Lloyd Webber’s behemoth — it’s a 1992 variation on Gaston Leroux’s classic story, with music by Arthur Kopit and Maury Yeston. And it more than holds its own, offering more intimacy and richness of character than Webber’s better-known Broadway spectacle. This thoughtful presentation emphasizes the real human connection between the Phantom and his student soprano, Christine. Through Nov. 8. Candlelight Dinner Playhouse, 4747 Market Place Drive, Johnstown, 970-744-3747, 1-877- 240-4242 or
“Speed-The-Plow” David Mamet’s 1998 satirical dissection of the American film industry. Mid-level Hollywood producers Bobby Gould and Charlie Fox argue the eternal debate of art vs. money: Should Gould green-light another bad action blockbuster or put himself on the line for a more spiritually uplifting work? And of course, if it’s Mamet, there has to be a secret bet over bedding the office temp. Through Sept. 21. Presented by Modern Muse at the Bug Theatre, 3654 Navajo St., 303-780-7836 or
