If/Then Denver Performance Features Original Broadway Stars

DENVER (CBS4)-While If/Then will feature its Broadway leads on the stage, there is a fresh cast filling in behind them and that means rehearsal all in preparation for next week's opening.

Producer David Stone has helped bring shows like "Next to Normal" and "Wicked" to the stage and sent them out on the road. But he's never had a show where the Broadway stars all stepped out with the tour.

"We rehearsed in New York and Los Angeles for three weeks before coming here to Denver for tech so the show is ready now it's just making the few changes in the physical production and making sure the tech works for the tour," said Stone.
What he sees is a complete Broadway experience for the tour audience which is always his goal.

"It's unusual to say the least because I think it's unprecedented that the four principals are all launching the tour, they're not doing the entire tour, but they're doing the first 14 weeks," said Stone. "And that's been a blessing because frankly without them and without Idina, this tour wouldn't happen."

With that complete experience, Denver also gets Idina Menzel, the powerhouse performer who made Wicked, Frozen and If/Then fly.

If/Then is on stage at the Buell Theatre Oct. 13-25.
