Wasatch Theatre Company continues 21st season with a rollicking musical about 10 down-and-out Texans grabbing hold of their American Dreamin the form of a hardbody truck. The regional premiere of Hands on a Hardbody performs FridaySunday, February 823 at The Gateway in the WTC Black Box Theatre. Tickets to Hands on a Hardbody are available here.We were drawn to the musical because it features a diverse cast of characters who all have one thing in common: they are down on their luck and they are fighting to regain the American Dreamwhatever that means for them, said Nicholas Dunn, WTC artistic director. "It's a wonderful score where the energy of the music matches the urgency of what the characters feel, and the audience will feel it too." Hands on a Hardbody is a rock-and-roll musical based on the 1997 documentary by the same name about the real-life hardbody truck competition in Longview, Texas. The contestants compete to win a fully loaded pick-up truck and the last person to take his or her hand off the truck wins. The musical features a book by Pulitzer Prize-winner Dough Wright with music and lyrics by Amanda Green (Bring It On) and Phish frontman Trey Anastasio. After premiering at La Jolla Playhouse in 2012, Hands on a Hardbody moved to Broadways Atkinson Theatre where it was nominated for three Tony Awards and nine Drama Desk Awards.
