TUACAHN & THE UTAH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL 2023
Disney’s TARZAN
Based on Disney’s epic animated musical adventure and Edgar Rice Burrough’s classic story of “Tarzan of the Apes,” Tarzan features heart-pumping music by rock legend Phil Collins and a book by TONY Award-winning playwright, David Henry Hwang. High-flying excitement and hits like the Academy Award-winning “You’ll Be in My Heart” as well as “Son of Man” and “Two Worlds” make Tarzan an unforgettable experience inside the Tuacahn Amphitheatre. Washed up on the shores of West Africa, an infant boy is taken in and raised by gorillas who name him Tarzan. Apart from striving for acceptance from his ape father, Tarzan’s life is mostly monkey-business until a human expedition treks into his tribe’s territory and he encounters creatures like himself for the first time. Tarzan struggles to navigate a jungle, thick with emotion as he discovers his animal upbringing clashing with his human instincts.
CHARLIE
& THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
The regional premiere only at Tuacahn! Satisfy your sweet-tooth with this modern musical remake of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel/ Charlie & the Chocolate Factory is a song-filled feast of “Pure Imagination!” Charlie Bucket, an imaginative boy with a knack for making something out of nothing, dreams of acquiring a golden ticket to tour Willy Wonka’s over-the-top chocolate factory and can’t believe his luck when it actually happens. Fellow contest winners: the gluttonous German, Augustus Gloop; Daddy’s spoiled rotten princess, Veruca Salt; chewing gum celebrity, Violet Beauregarde; and over-amped computer hacker, Mike Teavee, have no idea what they’re getting themselves into, as each learn lessons about selfishness and greed from Wonka, who is not only out of his mind but potentially dangerous. You’ll devour this family-friendly adventure that’s full of mouth-watering visuals that “Must be Believed to be Seen,” “Strike that! Reverse it!”
A timeless tale of “star-cross’d lovers,” Romeo and Juliet tells how two young people rise above their families’ hatred and find love. The price is tragic, and its lesson is what makes this one of Shakespeare’s best-known, most-loved, and more-enduring tragedies.
