A musical twist on the 1982 film “Tootsie” is the latest Broadway show to take the stage at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
“Tootsie” the musical opened in Denver on Tuesday night and is showing at the Buell Theater for the next two weeks.
While the music is upbeat and the dancers and singers are talented, the jokes throughout the musical are the most memorable parts. The cast told CBS4’s Dillon Thomas that the producers of Tootsie made a modern twist on the classic movie, adding in jokes which are in tune with current times. The cast said not every joke will be understood by every audience member. However, younger audiences may laugh at one part of a joke, while older audiences may laugh at the other.
Becker said the main character, Michael Dorsey, is a classic example of someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to seek out social success, without realizing how it impacts his peers. “I’m your conscious,” Michael Grant said to Becker. “I am your Jiminy Cricket, but you don’t listen.” The cast said the show also encouraged people to accept themselves for who they are, while also making sure they are genuine to themselves and their loved ones.
