Denver, you are cordially invited to the Queen’s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience, with live music, drinking, dancing and a performance. Bridgerton, a 2020 Regency romance television drama that became one the most watched English-language shows on Netflix, is based on the books by Julia Quinn. They follow the romances, drama and life of the Bridgertion family in 1800s London.
Now if you’re in attendence at the Queen’s ball during the social season you best dress in your finest clothes. She is looking for the “Diamond Of The Evening” but you’ll also get to hear scandalous rumors from Lady Whistledown‘s society papers. If you are a fan of the show or not this Queen’s ball is perfect for a date night, girls’ night or friends’ night out.
The Bridgerton experience has been in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta. Now the highly anticipated ball has made its way to Denver for a limited time. Like the show, the welcomed guests are a mix of age groups, races and genders. The Shonda Rimes series broke barriers in casting and the ball reflects that diversity.
As you enter the grand ball you are greeted by classical music and as well as classical remixes of modern-day songs such as Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams,” and Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You.“ Wisteria flowers and lighting help set the mood. Everyone comes dressed up in formal wear, semi-formal wear, and some in Regency style clothing.
Performers help set the atmosphere as you enter the ball. After you get some free time to mingle, dance and enjoy signature drinks inspired by the show. The Queen enters so be sure you greet her with a bow and after getting a chance to present yourself to her, there is a dance performance. It is just like a storyline out the show where two young lovers meet at the ball.
You get to hear Lady Whistledown narrate their love story. You will be asked to show off your own moves as you dance with them as the ball come to an end, and the lovers look over the scene. The Queen returns and is amused by the actions of the young couples as Lady Whistledown announces that love triumphs over all.
Finally, the time comes for the Queen to choose the Diamond of The Evening. After that, sadly the ball must come to an end. There are still more activities for you such as painting your portrait at the portrait studio, snapping a photo on the throne and enjoying free time to see outfits from the show and have a chance to buy themed merchandise.
