Director’s Note

Dear Odyssey Patron, What another amazing year for Odyssey, and it’s hard to believe that we are now in our 20th season of Thriller! When we first produced this show, we had sold only 50 tickets for four mere performances four days away from opening. Now we are doing 24 performances at Kingsbury alone, and we have two companies of the show touring Utah; one company to Salt Lake, Ogden and Logan, and the other to Park City, Provo, Richfield and Tuacahn in St. George! Although we do new pieces in the show every year, it is amazing how many of the original pieces we put together still remain the staples of the production.

We had the chance to tour Europe again this last spring for the eleventh consecutive year, and we’ve won Best of State Dance Company for the eleventh year in a row!

Be sure to buy your tickets to our upcoming shows: The ReduxNut-Cracker, December 14 – 23, an updated version of The Nutcracker (yes - you read right). For the fourth year, ODT brings this production to life in the present day, with the original Tchaikovsky score re-imagined and arranged in a pop/hip-hop style! (in Ogden and St. George, too.) And Shut Up and Dance, March 29 – April 8, 2017: The return of the full-length Beatles anthology Let it Be; MJ—last year’s hit is now a full-length; and Purple Rain, a tribute to the late, great artist Prince, along with three world premieres! Don’t miss any of them!! (Patrons present Thriller tickets to the Ticket Office and get a 10% discount on The ReduxNut-Cracker and Shut Up and Dance tickets.)

Thank you for making it possible for us to get this far—our 23rd season! It’s been quite a journey, and we invite you to continue on this incredible “odyssey” with us for many years to come.

Best wishes, Derryl Redux & SUAD Discount!!
