SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 21, 2025 (Gephardt Daily) -- William Shakespeare purists may just want to stay home and read a book.

OGDEN, Utah, May 18, 2025 (Gephardt Daily) — The Ziegfeld Theater‘s production of the musical “Tootsie” is a rare treat for Utah audiences. With book by Robert Horn and music and lyrics by David Yazbek, the stage musical is funny and intelligent. The songs added emotion to the original story, first told in the 1982 film starring Dustin Hoffman. And it’s got a sexy subtext you won’t find on most Utah stages. But the Zig is known for being smart, funny, and taking some chances to tell a good story.

Stacey David Blades- 323-428-9538Crashing Wayward came together in the Spring of 2020, just when the world seemed to come to a halt. In that stillness, the band grew restless, feverishly writing emotionally fueled songs of hope, inclusion, and escape. The music on their debut album “LISTEN!” represents a cathartic release raw in approach, yet refined in tone.
