The Ziegfeld Theater

I’ve heard good things about this theater and we’ve been wanting to check it out for some time now and we finally had no kids this weekend and we decided to go see young Frankenstein. We showed up at the box office at about 7pm to purchase tickets and they had plenty of tickets left. 40 bucks for 2 and that seemed reasonable. We decided to sit smack dab in the front. The seating is nice with padded chairs with a capacity of about 100. The stage is good sized and the sound system was really good. Overall a nice little theater.
The performance exceeded my expectations. The actors were really good and played their parts well. They all had really good voices and I did not notice any bad notes hit. The cast was relatively small so a lot of them played multiple roles but it did not take away from the charm. The dancing was also pretty good with a couple of really good performances. Good time for my wife and I to spend a few hours laughing.
We will definitely go again, a good deal for the money paid. It was also nice to know they had young Frankenstein performed here, I musical in Utah that is a bit risqué is always a good thing in my opinion. Give this place a try with your significant other. Popcorn is really good too!

Recently went to Ziegfeld to see Les Miserables. The production was very beautiful. The only thing bad was the single women’s bathroom. But I can live with that. Plus, I attended this theater as a child when it was Country Club. I am glad that Ziegfeld to a treasure and kept it alive.

There are a lot of Theaters in Utah and even more Talent.
Having worked in the theater world for many years I am well-​acquainted with the genre of Community Theater. Very often these products are where people of the community and fledgling actors get their opportunity to shine, Typically, the budgets for these shows are next to non-​existent, and often times, the directors have a hard time finding enough solid talent to fill their cast.
Even though you might be tempted to classify the Zig as a «community theater» there is one thing for certain, they do not BEHAVE like a community theater. Allow me to explain…
Every production I have ever seen there has been quality. Even though their budgets are small, their attention to detail is not. From the sets to the costuming these guys take the concept of working with what you got to the next level.
The big seller for me however is the Talent. Somehow these guys are able to pull in some of the most brilliantly talented actors Utah has to offer. They may not have the production budget of some of those other theaters, but what they lack in spectacle they more than make up for in Talent and stellar directing.
Another thing I appreciate about them is their willingness to do shows that are not typically seen in Utah. When it comes to comedy, these guys have it down to an science and they do it better than most.
These guys aren’t getting any big fancy grants from the state or federal government. It is owned and run on the blood sweat and tears of actors and artists and I for one want to see it succeed. So get out there and support the Ziegfeld! You probably won’t regret it!

This theater is my absolute favorite place to go for fun on the weekend. We try to make it to OTW Improv every single Friday because they are always good for a laugh. In addition to their improv group, which originally drew us in, they put on amazing productions like Next to Normal (which made me cry!) and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Every time we bring someone to The Zig for the first time, they love it! Okay, one time one person didn’t, but I would like to think that that particular person just sucked and it isn’t a reflection of the actual theater.
You should definitely give this a chance if you like fun and don’t suck at life.

The Ziegfeld Theater is such an amazing little theater and I am proud to hopefully help in the process of it becoming bigger. All of the shows that I have seen there have had such talent! Their shows are such high quality too which is rare in that kind of theater!
