This world premiere full-length work based on the Shakespearean tale about star-crossed lovers is in the Odyssey tradition - now a hip-hop version! Choreographed by Odyssey principal Eldon Johnson, along with sections by Ashleigh and Ryan Di Lello from "So You Think You Can Dance," Derryl Yeager and others, this will be a unique and powerful tour de force! Also - in another unique twist - audience members will be allowed to participate in choosing the show's ending by texting in whether they wish Romeo and Juliet to live or die! Truly a highly charged and time honored story - and interactive to boot! Don't miss this amazing new production from Utah's favorite dance company.

      The idea of a hip hop Romeo and Juliette is ok, Westside Story sort of. But why would you change a classic story by letting the audience choose whether they live or die. Hopefully the audience will choose the way it was written and is meant to be. It is a tragedy after all not a happy ending. Collapse
