COLORADO SILVER
2 SISTERS. A GHOST TOWN. A HOPE OUT WEST.
Set against the backdrop of the late 1800’s sisters, Liza and Audrey, are making their way out west to reunite with distant family, when they find themselves lost at the base of the Rocky Mountain. Looking for help, the girls approach an old mining camp and join the townsfolk for a campfire. There, they hear the tale of The Lady in Blue: a faceless ghost roaming the woods.
Its just a ghost story, only some ghost stories dont. stay. dead.
Earlier this fall we completely sold out 54 BELOW presenting music from the show with performers from Broadway’s SWEPT AWAY, FLOYD COLLINS, and the national tour performers from HADESTOWN, MEAN GIRLS, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR and more.

WHY NOW”?
This last year (2024), 92% of Broadway orchestrators were men, 81% of books were written by men, and 76% of shows were directed by men. Schele Williams is the first Black female director on Broadway in 40 years (The Wiz, The Notebook). Quite frankly, that’s ridiculous.
We are marching towards the future where women lead the this industry; we see ourselves a part of a world that is eager beyond doubt to support women of color. We see our show as a beacon for all we believe in: exceptional community, independence from typicality, and collective support of unheard voices.
WHY THIS SHOW?
The show started with the question, “how do you wake the living dead?”
Our answer is hope. In a world laden with despair and apathy, we want to showcase resurrection of life onstage; to speak to the dad dragged to the theater against his will, and to the young person finding their place in the world. This is a show to wake up theatre makers and broadway audiences new and old. Our show speaks to the heart of Marina Keegan’s essay, Even Artichokes Have Doubts (if you haven’t read it, we highly recommend). We want to shake audience members and remind them they are alive and that means something. To pursue the thing that is etched on their hearts. To be awake in their own lives. The show started with the question, “how do you wake the living dead?” We see the financial district zombies everyday. How are these bright, youthful people deciding to waste away at these soul crushing jobs? Our protagonists speak to the power of decision making and risk. Our show also showcases redemption for those who think they are too far gone to be forgiven or to live again. As we’ve embarked on this journey the answer to our question seems to always point back to hope. The way to wake someone who is dead in their own life is hope. This is a show and a story we hope to bring to Broadway - and we know we can’t do it alone. Learn more and listen to music from the show HERE.
