Odyssey Dance Theatre’s Halloween Spectacular "Thriller"

If Odyssey Dance Theatre’s “Thriller” isn’t part of your yearly Halloween tradition, it should be. Now in its 22nd year, the spooky spectacular combines technical aspects of dance while paying homage to the stars of All Hallows’ Eve. Throughout the two-hour program, “Thriller” highlights all the heroes of the season, including Frankenstein’s monster and his bride, skeletons and mummies. Critics agree that Odyssey Dance Theatre is nothing short of spectacular. “Odyssey’s Thriller “…a delightful “Dance 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.
