You did not advertise or bill it correctly. Nothing was mentioned about 1890 German students "awakening" set to Rock N Roll score. I thought it was a Rock & Roll Musical about young love as it was described in your 2009 Attractions Program. I was very disappointed that I paid big money to see something I would not have been interested in if you had described the production correctly. I also think you should place a "rating" or disclosure on any productions that are known to have nudity and profanity! It was not my cup of tea and I've learned my lesson about choosing a costly theater outing regardless of how many "Tony" awards it has received. Also, I feel you should not have booked it in Denver during the Holiday Season - another time of year would have been more appropriate! What a disappointment for a "Holiday Treat."
