Movie royalty
Saturday. The touring screening of “The Princess Bride” with star Cary Elwes is finally coming to Denver, having been postponed from Dec. 27, 2025. The shows at 1 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 28, both feature the 1987 movie and Elwes, who played the dashing Westley, on stage after the credits roll. He’ll talk about the film’s best behind-the-scenes moments — including working with director Rob Reiner, who died tragically last year along with his wife, Michele.
The “Inconceivable Evening,” as it’s called, takes place at the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place in downtown Denver. All previously purchased tickets will be honored, and new ones are on sale for $39-$54 at .
Frozen Dead Guy Days
Friday-Sunday. As one of Colorado’s weirdest and most on-brand festivals, Frozen Dead Guy Days has increasingly expanded into a full weekend of activities in Estes Park since it moved there from Nederland in 2023. The celebration of cryogenic lore (i.e., the dry-ice-packed corpse of Bredo Morstøl) this year includes a local art exhibition, a drone show finale and plenty of entertainment, costumes and food. And, of course, coffin races — those wild, obstacle-course runs where “pallbearers” must carry a teammate on (or in) a homemade coffin.Various activities and entrance fees are covered with tickets starting at $55. Some events are free to attend. Estes Park Events Complex, 1125 Rooftop Way in Estes Park. Free parking at 691 N. St. Vrain Ave. includes shuttles to the event. See the full list of bar crawls, brunches, a polar plunge and more at .
Meow Wolf’s trash-fashion
Thursday. Meow Wolf Denver is bringing back its trash-fashion show this month with “Absolute Rubbish: EXTRA Terrestrials.” The immersive-entertainment company’s alien theme fits well within the surreal sculptures at its Denver outpost as designers and models take the stage at its Perplexiplex venue for a night of beautiful and bizarre creations. Names this time range from Andrea Fischer and Autumn Olive Crochet to starrsprite and Wimsysways.
The 8 p.m., 18-and-up show on April 2 is hosted by Alisha Sweeney from Indie 102.3, with music from DJ Blaque Gurl and a show from performance artist Gale Force. 1338 First St. in Denver. Learn more and buy tickets, $44.75, at .
Denver Gay Men’s Chorus
Friday-Saturday. Last month, the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus renamed its spring show from “Party in the USA” to the more civic-minded “The Pursuit of Happiness: Warding the Freedoms of America,” in response to the current national climate, producers said. “We could not move forward without embracing a new charge: to protect those who need protecting, to stand firm in the face of tyranny, and to fight, as our forefamilies have done, in our pursuit of happiness,” according to the 40-plus-year-old LGBTQ organization.
That gives its performances on Friday, March 27, and Saturday, March 28, a bit more social urgency, though the chorus will no doubt inject the same joyous vigor and skill that it is known for. The musical showcase takes place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and 2 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Elaine Wolf Theatre at the Staenberg-Loup Jewish Community Center, 350 S Dahlia St. Tickets are $27-$43 via .
