Spooky season has arrived on Utah stages! Make October a little more thrilling by seeing one of these shows. The theater lineup includes Drakula, Jekyll & Hyde, The Addams Family, Wait Unitl Dark, Beetlejuice Jr., Little Shop of Horrors, plus many more bone-chilling options! And if you are looking for something a little less scary, check out Dear Evan Hansen at CenterPoint, To Kill a Mockingbird at The Parker Theatre, or Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at The Hale Centre Theatre. Head south and get your last chance to see Les Misérables, Grease, or Finding Nemo at Tuacahn. There’s no shortage of stories waiting to be told. With new works, revivals, and crowd-pleasers all sharing the calendar, it’s shaping up to be a season where Utah audiences—and UTAJ reviewers—will have plenty to talk about.
