There’s no time like the holidays to enjoy some great activities around the Pikes Peak Region, especially while staying at Holden House 1902 Bed & Breakfast Inn, just a few minutes from downtown, historic Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs. Here are just a few of the upcoming area events you’ll want to attend as we “ring” in the Season!
I Love Lucy on stage at the Pikes Peak Center in December
I LOVE LUCY® LIVE ON STAGE December 2-3, 2014 is the brand-new hit stage show adapted from the most beloved program in television history! Coming to Colorado Springs, December 2-3rd. It’s 1952 and you are a member of the studio audience awaiting the filming of two hilarious and oh-so-familiar I LOVE LUCY® episodes. Imagine stepping back in time onto the Desilu Playhouse soundstage where a charming host entertains and enlightens you to the behind-the-scenes filming process, the 1950s hi-fidelity technology and this brand-new thing called “television.” The episodes begin and you witness, firsthand, the side-splitting antics of that crazy redhead in the Ricardo’s New York apartment and thrill to the Cuban sounds of “The Ricky Ricardo Orchestra” at the famed Tropicana Nightclub. In-between scenes? The Crystaltone Singers perform live advertising jingles of the show’s newest sponsors in perfect 50s style harmony. Can you say “Brylcreem?!”
