Heritage Square Amusement Park, Golden

it was great I GOT MARRIED THERE 26 YEARS AGO THANK YOU GENO GIANELLI

If you're just looking for a place to take the wife out and want to do something different than a movie, look no further. You really have to give The Heritage Square Music Hall a try. Warning: This is an all-evening affair. This is not something you "run out and do" along with a few other plans you have for the evening. Set the entire evening aside for them. You can optionally start your evening here with their buffet dinner served upstairs before the show. Their buffet is always decent, comparable to what you would find at a typical buffet restaurant such as Country Buffet in quality, without quite the latter's broad selection. But the selection is typically decent enough for most people. After dinner, everyone is mustered downstairs into the theatre for the real treat: Their live play performance. The Heritage Square staff writes their own comedy-oriented original material, typically spoofs written off more 'serious' stage shows, and the result is hilarious. I have found that it simply doesn't matter what show they happen to be running at the time. I've been attending the Heritage Square shows since 1993, I haven't seen a show of theirs I didn't fully enjoy yet. Typically, a full show consists of a play which includes an intermission, with a music review of some type after a second intermission. When I last went in September of 2005, it was still mostly the same cast that I first saw there in 1993. They've been doing this for a long time, and they are GOOD at it. Pleasantly, you will find at the end of the night that the total cost of your evening will be only a little bit more than you would have spent had you gone out to an equivalent restaurant for dinner, and then a movie afterwords. For the extra bit this will cost you, you get a live performance by a professional cast pushing three hours in length altoegether. I've seen a lot of bad movies in my lifetime, but I have NEVER seen a bad show at the Heritage Square Music Hall. They also cator to larger parties for things such as Company outings, larger special family events, and so on. They typically stay booked solid throughout the Christmas season from Companies who have found them to be great value for an employee Christmas Party. Reservations definitely required from Thanksgiving through New Years. They also run kid's shows on weekends, specially priced for the little guys. Although I have never seen one since I don't have kids, I am trusting that the compliments I have heard about their children shows are as completely well deserved as their evening shows I have seen for myself for 13 years.
