Odyssey Dance Theatre is excited to bring its popular Halloween Spectacular
Thriller to several locations in Utah. “This show has become a phenomenon!”
says Artistic Director Derryl Yeager. “Now in its fifteenth year, it has grown
tremendously in popularity, and we are busy performing the show
throughout the entire month! We are performing in six locations in Utah; for
the fifth year in a row, we’ve had to hire two separate casts to fill the
amazing demand, and each year, we have unprecedented numbers of
children audition to be a part of our Halloween hit (this year’s auditions will
be held September 9 and 10—go to www.odysseydance.com, Main

Odyssey Dance Theatre/Thriller – 2011
One company’s Thriller tour will begin at Weber State in Ogden before
opening a 19-performance run at Kingsbury Hall. The other company will
perform in Park City, Provo and Logan before moving into residence at
Tuacahn in St. George.

This year’s show will have all of the favorite pieces from the past – Thriller,
The Curse of the Mummy, Dem Bones, Frankenstein, Jason Jam, Salem’s
Mass, The Lost Boys, and the River of Blood Dance – plus a few new
surprises. Get your tickets early, because most of the performances sold out
last year! This show has it all – frights, amazement, scares and lots of
laughs. Come and join this spectacular Halloween tradition and see what
everyone is talking about – Odyssey Dance Theatre’s Thriller!

“Odyssey’s production of “Thriller” was truly a thrill for the audience, which
was at times breathless with laughter, at times fearful and amazed, but
always totally entertained. The pieces were excitingly choreographed and
energetically performed…” – Margaret Godfrey – Salt Lake Tribune

“Odyssey’s “Thriller”… a delightful “Danse Macabre”… As for humor, there
were bucket-loads. Laughs abounded during a “Romeo & Juliet”-inspired
“Frankenstein & Frankenstein” and “Jason Jam,” a work that used a lot of
percussive dancing, a la “Stomp,” that spotlighted three “Friday the 13th”
villains dancing with ice picks, machetes and, of all things, chain saws. The
whole idea was cool…” – Scott Iwasaki – Deseret News
