Theater Lovers

Join us at Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 with Pioneer Theatre Company on Saturday, May 18th at 2:00, with dinner to follow.

The much-anticipated Utah premiere of a recent Broadway favorite! Nominated for 12 Tony Awards, Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 is an electropop opera based on a scandalous slice of Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Young and impulsive, Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiancé from the front lines. When she falls under the spell of the roguish Anatole, it is up to Pierre, a family friend in the middle of an existential crisis, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation.

This award-winning musical, with its daring score and bold storytelling, is one of the most requested titles from PTC audiences in recent memory and will be presented in an immersive format never before seen in our 60-year history!

“Both the most innovative and the best new musical to open on Broadway since Hamilton!” – The New York Times

“This astonishing new musical adapts a 70-page section of [War and Peace], mashing up imperialist Russia and an eclectic range of styles, turning Tolstoy into a swoon-worthy, vodka-soaked party. It’s a sensual, wild ride: rollicking music, beautiful singing, a feast for the eye, ear and mouth.” – NY1

Theater Enjoyment Guide:

• Switch OFF your cell phone – Under no circumstances should you ever text, take pictures, or video during a show.
• Savor your snacks quietly (or not at all)! If you have to unwrap cough drops or treats from intermission, please enjoy them QUIETLY to avoid disturbing others. Theaters are designed to amplify sound, so even the smallest noise can be heard far and wide.
• Activate Silent or Theater Mode on your watch to prevent it from lighting up and diverting attention from the performance.
• Keep conversations for intermission or after the show to preserve the ambiance for everyone.
• Positive vibes only within the theater vicinity! It’s lovely to share constructive feedback once outside and away from the theater.
• Dress code follows the unwritten rule of "the more you pay, the fancier you may dress," with Broadway being the delightful exception. Feel free to dress comfortably for your day's plans.

Join us at Next to Normal with On Pitch Performing Arts (OPPA!) on Saturday, September 21st at 5:00 for dinner with the show to follow at 7:30.

Next to Normal, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next to Normal was also chosen as "one of the year's ten best shows" by critics around the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and The New York Times.

Dad's an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family.

Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family's story with love, sympathy, and heart.
