Pioneer Theatre Company

Comment on Facebook

Salt Lake's major regional theatre is located appropriately enough at the top of Broadway (300 South) and 1400 East. A fully professional theatre in residence at the University of Utah, Pioneer Theatre Company produces a seven-play season running from September through May, including a mixture of classics, large-scale musicals and contemporary dramas and comedies. Over the past ten years the theatre has developed a reputation for Broadway-quality productions, including mounting Utah premieres as well as regional theatre premieres. Notably, Pioneer Theatre Company was the first regional theatre in the country to earn the rights to produce Les Mis?rables, the closing musical of the 2006-2007 season. Running for a record 82 sold out performances, Les Mis?rables cemented PTC's reputation as a theatre capable of producing large scale, difficult productions.

      Having been born in Vietnam and coming here when I was 3 years old, I never experienced the tragedies and terrors of the Vietnam War. This play showed me a story of a beautiful and strong willed girl Kim who experienced those great hardships, and despite it all she became a mother whose heart is filled with hope and love for life. Her sacrifice and joy are strongly expressed in the music and songs she sings. This musical is the most incredible production I have ever seen; bringing together all sensations of happiness, fear, sadness, anger, regrets, and peace right into your heart. I sat in the very front seat and saw all the detailed facial expression which made it a more unforgettable story. Go see it! Collapse

      This was a really strong production in every aspect. Shannon Tyo was a near perfect Kim. Tyo herself is fresh out of college and she really brought a genuine innocence to Kim. All other principle leads were strong as well, little to no complaints. Each character really had a "moment" on that stage. There's nothing more powerful than a performer having an honest moment in front of an audience. The sets are dazzling. Pioneer Theatre Company never fails to impress me. This production goes out of its way and does everything it can to assure you get what you paid for. Collapse

      The only reason I give this four stars is because it's not really the best *story* out there but PMT's production is top notch! The actors are stellar. I saw this opening night and walked away -well, choked up- but stunned at what I had seen on stage. The actor playing Engineer was amazing and according to his bio is on the original B'way cast recording in this role! He's very funny in the sleazy way he is supposed to be. The lovers sound amazing. The Kim fits the part in looks and in voice, and the Chris' songs are so soulful. But my favorite was Chris' buddy in the show (can't remember his name) - he was on B'way in Rent and absolutely steals the show in this production everytime he is on stage. I loved it. Collapse

      The first ten minutes felt like a good high school production, definitely not a professional offering by experienced Shakespearean actors. I kept expecting it to get better, which it did, but not enough. If my husband and I had actually asked each other "What do you think?" during the intermission, we would have gone home early! He asked me at the end, "Aren't you supposed to feel some emotion in this play?" Compared with the rest of the season, the set and costumes were also a disappointment. We came home feeling like the whole production was done "on the cheap". Too bad, it's hard to miss when you've got great material, but this time PMT managed. Collapse

      This play in general was great, however I was dissapointed with the way that the parts of Romeo, Juliet, Friar Laurence, and the Prince of Verona were played. After having just reread the play those specified characters did not seem to understand the parts as Shakespeare portrayed them. There were times where Romeo and Juliet acted too mature and times where they acted completely immature, but there was no middle ground for me. I was extremely impreessed and in love with the characters of Mercutio, Benvolio, Tybalt, Capulet, Lady Capulet, and the Nurse. The way they portrayed the characters exactly showed the characters for who they were, and enthalled you while doing so. Their performance was exquisite. The set was absolutely innovative and beautiful. Collapse
