Growing up, plays and musicals may have played a greater role in our lives than we thought—we’ve all had to read Shakespeare in class or have, at the very least, seen “High School Musical.” It’s always fun singing along to iconic songs or having a night out at the theater. There are some top notch performances coming to Denver soon—look at the list below for some shows taking over the stage.

“Dirty Dancing,” Jan. 26-31, Buell Theatre

This play tells the story of Frances “Baby” Houseman’s experience while staying with her family at a resort full of talented entertainers. Baby falls for one of the resort dance instructors, Johnny Castle, and begins to take lessons from him learning how to dance. “Dirty Dancing,” featuring songs like “The Time Of My Life” will be a treat dancing-wise as well as musically. Buy tickets to see the show at the Buell Theatre through the Denver Arts website.

“The Wizard of Oz,” Feb 7-14, Buell Theatre

Follow Dorothy and her visit to the Emerald City in this classic story of adventure, friendship and Toto the dog. There’s nothing better than watching the novel-turned-movie-turned-musical hit the stage at The Buell Theatre in February. To snag a seat to the show, buy tickets through the Buell Theatre website before this long-loved musical sells out.

“Eurydice,” Feb. 10-14, Byron Studio

The University of Denver’s own Department of Theatre is slated to perform “Eurydice” next month. The play, named after and featuring Greek mythological figure Eurydice, tells the story of the nymph and how she is faced with the life-altering decision of choosing between her father or her lover Orpheus. Will Eurydice stay in the underworld, or will she join Orpheus on Earth? Watch the Department of Theatre answer this question as they perform Eurydice at the Byron Studio. To attend the show, buy tickets through the Newman Center Website.

“Little Shop of Horrors,” Feb. 25- Mar. 6, Byron Theatre

Creepy, fantastic and scary show “Little Shop of Horrors” will be hitting the stage at DU next month. Seymour and Audrey will take on New York City as they struggle to get out of the rundown neighborhood Skid Row. When Seymour brings a strange plant to showcase at the flower shop the two work at, things take a dark, bloodthirsty turn. Mosey on down to the Byron Theatre next month to watch the Department of Theatre act and sing in Little Shop of Horrors.
