Broadway’s “1776” musical revival is almost too much of a good thing

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 23:14:29 GMT

Revivals never go out of style on Broadway, and the touring production of “1776” glides into the Buell Theatre this week on the heels of Denver stops for “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Fiddler on the Roof” — 20th century edifices whose renewal proves their sturdiness.Based on the 1969 Tony-winner, the latest version of “1776,” which runs through April 2 at the Buell, feels just as socially relevant. It swaps its traditionally all-white, nearly all-male cast with a diverse group of women and nonbinary actors, whose multiracial presence relentlessly interrogates the ways in which they were cut out of the process of this country’s founding.In the hands of directors Jeffrey L. Page and Diane Paulus, it’s an experience that is both edifying and enormously resonant. That Sherman Edwards’ songs and Peter Stone’s book remain completely intact is a double-edged sword, and the presentation choices don’t always l...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 23:14:29 GMT

Based on quicker-than-expected moves to electric vehicles, a leading provider of data and analytics to the energy industry predicts that electric cars and light-duty trucks will make up 65% of new sales globally by 2030 and 85% by 2035.The report by Enverus also forecasts that the switch to electric vehicles will displace 2.7 million barrels of oil a day by 2030 and as much as 5.2 million barrels of oil a day by 2035. The current total oil used in the areas covered in the report, including the U.S., Europe, China and India, is roughly 18 million barrels a day.The growth in electric vehicles’ market share in Europe and China is outperforming expectations, said Carson Kearl with Enverus Intelligence Research, a subsidiary of Enverus. Adoption in the U.S. is lagging behind those parts of the world, he added.Colorado, however, is one of the states where EV sales are rising.

As new “zombie drug” threat spreads, Colorado lawmaker takes lead on a federal response

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 23:14:29 GMT

U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo will introduce her first bill in Congress on Thursday — a measure that aims to get ahead of the emerging and lethal threat posed by animal tranquilizer xylazine, a drug that health officials say is increasingly popping up on the streets.Just this week, the Drug Enforcement Administration issued a public safety alert about xylazine, known colloquially as “tranq” or “zombie drug,” saying its combination with the powerful opioid fentanyl is making the “deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced, fentanyl, even deadlier.”The bill from Caraveo, a Democrat who was elected as the new 8th Congressional District’s first representative in November, will direct the head of the National Institute of Standards and Technology to focus the agency’s research on illicit drugs that contain xylazine and other emerging substances. NIST has a laboratory in Boulder.One of the first goals of the bill is to expedite the de...
