For the first time, Odyssey Dance Company is coming to Utah State University Eastern to perform its Halloween hit, “Thriller,” on Oct. 23 in the Geary Events Center.
In its 22nd season, the Salt Lake dance company’s production of “Thriller” includes favorite pieces from the past including “The Curse of the Mummy,” “Dem Bones,” “Frankenstein,” Jason Jam,” “Salem’s Mass,” “The Lost Boys” and “The River of Blood Dance.”
It includes frights, amazement, scares and lots of laughs. It’s been a Halloween tradition in Utah with performances in Park City, Pocatello, Idaho; Provo, Salt Lake City, Ogden, Price and St. George this year. Last year every performance at every venue was sold out.
Odyssey Dance Company was founded in 1994 and directed by Derryl Yeager, former Ballet West principal, Broadway, television and film veteran. He describes Odyssey as the “common man’s” dance company.
Tickets for USU Eastern’s production of “Thriller” are $18 and can be purchased online at usueastern.com.
