Alan and I celebrated Independence Day this year by going to the Tuacahn Theater in St. George Utah to see their production of Aladdin on our way up to Salt Lake City. It was an amazing show - well worth the time, effort, and money. This was our third time to see a production there. We just don't grow tired of it.
For those of you who have never been there, this photo gives you an idea of what the outdoor theater looks like. It has the beautiful red rocks in the background. This particular night was overcast and we even had a few sprinkles, but it didn't ruin the show.
Waiting for the show to start. The show starts pretty late (8:45) because it needs to be dark before they can begin. The show was sold out that night and every other night that they had performed it. The sad thing for me was that Aladdin was played by the understudy that night. The actor did a good job, but I am sure that the real Aladdin would have been better.
Our self photography didn't turn out so well. This was taken during the intermission. I would love to post pictures from the actual show, but no photography was allowed. They had real camels, 3D video footage, and a carpet ride over the audience as part of the show, which was awesome.
At the conclusion of Aladdin, everyone stayed in their seats to watch a special 4th of July fireworks show to the music of Lee Greenwood's "Proud To Be An American". It was amazing. That is my favorite patriotic song so I really loved it.
This was a great start to our summer vacation. We had a wonderful time. I'm sure we will find ourselves in St. George again with the opportunity to see another one of their fine productions.

Hey, we are hoping to see "Aladdin" in the next few months here. Glad to hear you enjoyed it! It was good to see you at the reunion, although not nearly long enough. Hope to get a better chance soon!
