in search of a play bill from Phantom of the opera first US tour in Denver. Specifically need the Denver location. I'm looking for any memorabilia for Denver from the first US tour. If someone could maybe help me with direction on where to go to find something so specific I would appreciate that.

The 1st US National Tour of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA was titled The Christine Tour and went out in 1991 after premiering in Los Angeles (with Michael Crawford then Robert Guillaume). Davis Gaines took over as The Phantom for the tour, Dale Kristien was Christine, Michael Pointek was Raoul and Leigh Munro was Carlotta.
It it performed in Denver in December 1991.
Here's a signed windowcard:

That's actually not correct. The company that opened in LA didn't close until September 1993 (it was almost a 5-year run) and went to San Francisco after that. The company that played in Denver launched in Chicago in 1990 for about a year, before it moved on to Denver (I do believe Denver was the second stop).
