Romeo+Juliet: From the creator of Thriller comes one of Odyssey Dance Theatre’s favorite and critically acclaimed full-length pieces of all time. See what that Deseret News said was, “…to die for!” Based on the Shakespearean tale about star-crossed lovers, but in the Odyssey tradition: a hip-hop/latin/contemporary dance version! Choreographed by former Odyssey Principal Eldon Johnson, along with sections by Ashleigh and Ryan Di Lello from “So You Think You Can Dance,” Darryl Yeager and others, this is a unique and powerful tour de force.
Chicago Nights: Also back by popular demand, this full-length work, directed and produced by Derryl, tells the story of Chicago in the 1920’s, when the specter of Prohibition gave rise to Speakeasys, Jazz and Gangsters. Chicago Nights is a unique show with an intoxicating variety of dance styles, techniques, passions and emotions. A collection of works by some of the most cutting-edge choreographers of the day, from ballet to contemporary, jazz to tap, ballroom to hip-hop, this amazing group of dancers will display no only their technical expertise and amazing versatility, but they will share these amazing stories of the 1920’s Chicago through the tapestry of dance styles that Odyssey is known for.
Advisory Warning: Romeo+Juliet has a scenes about gangs, drug use simulation and the tragic ending could be triggering for anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide. In Chicago Nights Roxie Hart murders her lover when he breaks up with her. Recommneded for 12+.
