About the tour: Step inside the Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre, the go-to Denver venue for Broadway tours. The Buell was designed specifically to support large-scale performances and flashy effects, down to the choice of sandstone interior walls to support amplified performances. The renovated theatre opened in 1991 inside the renovated shell of the City’s Auditorium Arena, once the home of basketball games, wrestling matches and rock concerts. Go behind the scenes to explore how the The Buell provides a special experience for audience members in each of its 2,800 seats .
