Almost Heaven: Songs of John Denver is a live musical experience that is breaking box office records from coast-to-coast by reinventing and reinvigorating the music you thought you knew ... like you’ve never heard before.

ALMOST HEAVEN weaves together the songs of John Denver to create a uniquelytheatrical narrative that reflects upon the country during the years in which he wrote them.

Twenty-nine of Denver's songs – including “Rocky Mountain High,” “Sunshine on My Shoulders,”“Annie’s Song,” “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” “Calypso” and more – are rediscovered and reinvented,performed against a backdrop of stunning visual images of America in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s,a time of social unrest and political protest.

The show is now available for selective licensing and includes the stunning projections used in the New York production.

ALMOST HEAVEN was originally conceived by Harold Thau with orchestrations, vocal arrangements, and music supervision by Jeff Waxman.
