WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Almost Heaven: The Songs of John Denver, a revue of the late singer/songwriter's music, was originally conceived by producer Harold Thau, and is directed by Randal Myler. It is adapted by Peter Glazer, and features orchestrations, vocal arrangements, and musical supervision by Jeff Waxman.
In the show, almost 30 of Denver's songs -- including "Rocky Mountain High," "Sunshine on My Shoulders," "Annie's Song," "Leaving on a Jet Plane," and "Calypso" -- are performed against a backdrop of visual images of America in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a time of social unrest and political protest.

Early on in Almost Heaven: The Songs of John Denver, a fan struggles with the right word to describe her musical hero in a letter to him. Eventually, she settles on "cool." Cool? As someone who grew up in suburban New Jersey during the height of Denver's popularity in the 1970s, I can promise you that "cool" wasn't how we described the clean-cut country/pop singer, if we even dared to utter his name in public.

But we didn't flaunt our affection for him the way we professed our love for James, Joni, or Janis.
