Experience a Unique Holiday Comedy in Denver: Wonderbound’s Holidays at the Hideaway Hotel Premieres Dec. 11

Published on December 5, 2025

Denver’s Wonderbound dance company is preparing to unveil its latest holiday production, Holidays at the Hideaway Hotel, on Thursday, December 11, 2025. This much-anticipated debut will give audiences an unconventional, surreal, and darkly humorous take on the holiday season. Combining vibrant dance with a unique narrative, the performance promises to captivate attendees throughout the festive period.

A Fresh Take on Holiday Celebrations

Unlike traditional holiday shows, Holidays at the Hideaway Hotel blends elements of absurd comedy and surreal storytelling. The performance, which features a series of quirky characters and unexpected twists, embraces a darker tone while still celebrating the spirit of the holidays. With a perfect mix of holiday themes and offbeat humor, this show is poised to offer something completely different from your typical seasonal entertainment.

The creative mind behind the production is Garrett Ammon, the founder of Wonderbound. He describes the show as a black comedy about the holidays run amok, capturing the chaos, confusion, and humorous absurdities that often come with holiday festivities. This unique interpretation of the holiday season features exaggerated characters and situations that push the boundaries of typical holiday performances. In Holidays at the Hideaway Hotel, everything is a bit off-kilter—just like the work of celebrated filmmakers Wes Anderson, the Coen Brothers, and David Lynch, all of whom served as influences for the show.

By blending the quirky, offbeat charm of Anderson’s storytelling, the dark humor of the Coen Brothers, and the eerie surrealism of Lynch’s films, Ammon has crafted a piece of performance art that is both thought-provoking and highly entertaining. Wonderbound’s new production will provide an unforgettable holiday experience that offers something more than the usual seasonal cheer.

A Dance Performance Like No Other

What sets Holidays at the Hideaway Hotel apart is its unique combination of live music and dynamic choreography. The show will feature an original soundtrack composed by Erik Deutsch, who is best known for his work with the legendary rock band the Black Crowes. Deutsch will be performing live, accompanied by his band, to create an immersive experience that intertwines music and movement. The live music will infuse the performance with energy and rhythm, helping to set the tone and atmosphere for each scene.

Deutsch’s music will be paired perfectly with Wonderbound’s dance performances, which will bring the eccentric and chaotic characters of the Hideaway Hotel to life. The choreography, known for its expressive and vibrant movement, will complement the strange and darkly comedic narrative, resulting in a visually stimulating and emotionally engaging production.

This collaboration between live music and dance promises to enhance the overall experience, adding another dimension to an already innovative show. The performance will engage all the senses, as the audience will not only be drawn in by the choreography but also swept away by the lively, original soundtrack.

With its intriguing mix of influences, the production creates an immersive world that is anything but ordinary, and it offers a fresh perspective on the holiday season.
