New Year's Eve 2012 will always be a memorable one for those who attended the "Evening with Kristin Chenoweth" at the Eccles Center in Park City.

Tony-nominated Douglas Sills, the original Sir Percy Blakeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel on Broadway, is currently starring as Gomez in the national tour of The Addams Family at the Capitol Theatre.

The Broadway musical adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women is tuneful and heartwarming. Centerpoint Legacy Theatre's production of the show is quite satisfying, and even "Astonishing" in many ways.

It's always a treat when Hale Centre Theatre in West Valley produces a regional premiere of a show direct from Broadway, and especially one that didn't make it to Utah on tour. The production values are always stellar, and 9 to 5 the Musical is no exception.

Tuacahn's Hairspray is a solidly entertaining production of a Tony-award winning Broadway hit.
