The Merry Widow (2017)

“You’ll see beautiful gowns and beautiful people, and you’ll laugh. The music is tuneful—so tuneful you might even want to sing along.”

Jill Kimball, CU Presents

The Merry Widow (2017)

"Franz Lehár’s Merry Widow, the classic Viennese operetta, is a delicious platform for wonderful singing, graceful dancing, colorful costumes, and an inexhaustible supply of humor."

Peter Alexander, Sharps and Flatirons

The Merry Widow (2017)

Full dress rehearsals Tuesday and Wednesday indicated that this will be one of CU's best ever productions. Holman and Carthy keep raising their own bar, but they outdo themselves here in ways patrons should expect from them.
