• ‘Assassins' tops list of '25 musicals that were ‘worthy of your love' (denvergazette.com) — Arvada theater fans are packing the Arvada Center for a record-breaking regional premiere of Disney’s “Frozen,” now the venue’s best-selling show in 49 years and a major boost for local arts. The piece also spotlights other standout Colorado musicals, from Golden to Parker, underscoring how strong the metro theater scene has been in 2025. 
• Trump Administration, SEC Intends To Expand Access To Private Credit And Cryptocurrencies (thefinance360.com) — A financial planner based in Arvada warns that Trump administration and SEC moves to expand access to private credit and crypto could expose small investors to risks they don’t fully understand. While federal officials tout broader choices and innovation, local advisors stress that retirement savers may face complex products with higher volatility and fewer protections.
• New laws protect everything from bison to renters (aspenpublicradio.org) — An Arvada-based lawmaker helped champion Colorado’s new right-to-repair law taking effect January 1, expanding options to fix phones, computers, and other electronics. That’s one of about 20 statewide measures kicking in, including more paid leave for parents with babies in intensive care, new rules for gun shows, added renter protections, and protections for wild bison.
