The Paramount Theatre recently won the tough task of booking all of the shows at the new, urban RiverEdge Park around the corner from downtown Aurora. The first season lineup brings some big names and a little bit for everyone, but we can’t help imagine what we could bring to the stage if it were only in our hands. With the only parameters that the artists need to be living, here are our dream lists of five. We can dream.
