Hale Centre Theatre in West Valley is currently presenting a solidly mounted production of the classic comedy ARSENIC AND OLD LACE that is sure to please fans and newcomers alike.

Pulitzer Prize nominee Craig Wright recently spoke with BroadwayWorld about his drama GRACE, which played on Broadway in 2012 and will have its Utah premiere this month.

The BLUE MAN GROUP national tour, currently playing at Kingsbury Hall, melds spectacle and comedy into an evening that stimulates and satisfies the senses.

You'll discover much more than you imagined.

He has answered some questions from BroadwayWorld about the show and this farewell production.

The new production of LES MISERABLES at Hale Centre Theatre in West Valley is a feast for the eyes, ears, and soul. It is the most unique (and among the best) of the productions of this show ever in Utah, and it offers enough beauty in every sense of the word for it to be well worth the time and ticket prices. It is implausible that a better LES MISERABLES will be presented here any time soon.

Utah Repertory Theater Company's production of BONNIE & CLYDE is the first time the musical has been seen in Utah and is one of the very first post-Broadway productions of the show.

Hale Centre Theatre's production of THE FOREIGNER in West Valley is uproariously funny with an emotional core. Director Eric R. Jensen has combined many outstanding elements to create a satisfying comedy to bring in the new year.

Bernadette Peters' New Year's Eve concert at the Eccles Center, presented by the Park City Institute, was a smashing success.
