“This show has become a phenomenon!” says Odyssey Founder and Artistic Director Derryl Yeager. “Now in its 27th year, it has grown tremendously in popularity.

Get your tickets early because most of the performances sell out each year! This show has it all – frights, amazement, scares, and lots of laughs. Come and join this spectacular Halloween tradition and see what everyone is talking about – Odyssey Dance Theatre’s Thriller!

Critics agree that Odyssey Dance Theatre is nothing short of spectacular:

“Odyssey’s production of “Thriller” was truly a thrill for the audience, which was at times breathless with laughter, at times fearful and amazed, but always totally entertained. The pieces were excitingly choreographed and energetically performed…” – Margaret Godfrey – Salt Lake Tribune

“Odyssey’s “Thriller”… a delightful “Danse Macabre”… As for humor, there were bucket-loads. Laughs abounded during a “Romeo & Juliet”-inspired “Frankenstein & Frankenstein” and “Jason Jam,” a work that used a lot of percussive dancing, a la “Stomp,” that spotlighted three “Friday the 13th” villains dancing with ice picks, machetes and, of all things, chain saws. The whole idea was cool…”     – Scott Iwasaki – Deseret News

Shut Up and Dance is where the dancers and choreographers get to stretch their artistic muscles and really show off their abilities and different styles in smaller repertoire-style works. “We again stress accessibility,” Derryl says, “but we are not afraid to explore more innovative choreographic styles of movement. The title says it all. Dance is an amazing form of expression that doesn’t require manuals and textbooks to understand. It communicates to all and across all boundaries.”
