ALADDIN

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

THIS...... DISNEYS NEW STAGE MUSICAL AT TUACAHN IN ST GEORGE, UTAH !

RECOMMENDED TO THE WORLD........ 866 321 5057..... FACEBOOK.COM/TUACAHN

TUACAHN AMPHITHEATRE IS SURROUNDED BY THE RED CLIFFS OF SOUTHERN UTAH.... IN IVINS NEAR SNOW CANYON STATE PARK.  THIS A CUTE NOTE IN THEIR PROMO...ITS TRUE.

IT IS 120 MILES FROM LAS VEGAS A SHORT 2 HOUR DRIVE...ONE OF THE TREASURES OF THIS EARTH.

A DECADE OR SO AGO CREATIVE MINDS CONSTRUCTED THIS MASTERPIECE FOR WORLD CLASS THEATRE....THEY SUCCEEDED IN EVERY WAY....A PRETTY NEAT COMPLIMENT TO THE WORLD CLASS SHAKESPEARE THEATRE IN CEDAR CITY, UTAH.....A CONVENIENT MARRIAGE OF VENUES FOR LAS VEGAS ENTERTAINMENT REPORTERS.

TUACAHN'S TWO MAJOR PRODUCTIONS THIS YEAR ARE HAIRSPRAY AND ALADDIN.

FRIDAY NIGHT ANOTHER SELLOUT FOR ALADDIN....THIS SHOW THE STANDARD ALADDIN STORY WHICH I HAVE NOT VISITED IN A LONG TIME...THE STORY LINE FROM THE BROADWAY SHOW....THE MOVIE AND SOME ADAPTED LYRICS.

THIS IS JUST WORLD CLASS STUFF WITH ALL THE SPECIAL THEATRE TOUCHES INCLUDED.....STAGING...TALENT....COSTUMING...CHOREOGRAPHY....LIGHTING...TIMING....
PRODUCTION...PUBLIC RELATIONS...MARKETING AND ATTENTION TO THE PATRONS.

AFTER THE WEEK I HAVE HAD AT THE PAGENT OF THE MASTERS IN LAGUANA....
THE PHANTOM IN LAS VEGAS....MEN ALIVE IN ANAHEIM...SCAPIN AND TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD IN CEDAR CITY....JOSHUA BELL AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL....ALADDIN FITS RIGHT ON TOP OF THIS LIST OF PERFECTLY  DONE WORD CLASS THEATRE.

ALADDIN WAS 8 MINUTES LATE AND THE 15 MINUTE INTERMISSION WAS 19 MINUTES AND THEY START OR INTENDED TO START AT 845 TO BEAT THE HEAT BUT THAT ENCOMPASSED THE NEGATIVES.

WHAT WOULD THE COST OF 3 CAMELS AND A FLYING CARPET BE FOR THE SUMMER ?

TUACAHN HAS STAMPED THEIR PRODUCTIONS WITH FIREWORKS...AERIALS...RUNNING WATER ON THE STAGE AND LIVE MUSIC...IT SOMETIMES SEEMS AS IF IT ALL IS A NECESSARY NEED  ALL THIS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PRODUCTION RATHER THAN A PART OF THE ARTISTIC DESIGN.....HOW THE HELL COULD YOU HAVE ALADDIN WITHOUT A FLYING CARPET.....THEY FLEW IT OVER THE AUDIENCE....I LOVED IT.  IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TUACAHN TAKES IT TO THE NEXT STEP WITH 3D VIDEOS...MARVELOUS PRODUCTION AND THE RELEASE OF ONE OF THE WORLDS GREAT GENIES....ROBIN WILLIAMS HAD THE MOVE ROLL...THIS NOT A STEP DOWN.

UTAH AND TUACAHN EXHIBIT A BETTER CLASS OF PEOPLE THAN LAS VEGAS....HERE THEY CARE OR ACT LIKE THEY DO AND HAVE EXCELLENT INTER PERSONAL RELATIONS MAKING A VISIT COMFORTABLE....GENUINE AND POSITIVE....IT PLAYS WELL.

THERE ARE SOME HORNS AND WHISTLES AND ADD ONS TO TUACHAN WITH THEIR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS...PRE SHOWS....BARBECUES...GIFT SHOPS AND PICNIC AMBIENCE.

JUST A DAMN GREAT PLACE TO GO FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS.

A- 92   NO ONE CAN OVERCOME BEING LATE.
