The Amphitheatre

Visiting the amphitheatre feels like an out-of-this-world experience. Tuacahn’s open-air amphitheatre is set against a breathtaking backdrop of towering red cliffs and desert landscapes — a natural stage unlike any other (Read: Discover an Outdoor Stage in Utah's Canyon of the Gods). Designed to blur the line between performance and place, the rear of the stage opens directly to the surrounding scenery, enhanced by state-of-the-art lighting, sound, water effects and pyrotechnics. With over 2,500 seats, it nearly doubles the capacity of most traditional indoor theaters, creating a grand, immersive setting. A night at Tuacahn isn’t just a show — it’s a full-sensory journey that elevates live entertainment to an entirely new level.

Broadway Musicals at Tuacahn

The musical Utah! was the first performance at the theatre, and ran from 1995-1999. This show included live acting, living animals, pyrotechnics and even a recreation of a flash flood. In 1999, Tuacahn decided they needed to expand their performances and include something new. This started what was called the “Summer Festival of Theater” and offered performances of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Since 1999, Tuacahn has produced a vast list of new, buzzy musicals and beloved classics, including: Les Misérables, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Mamma Mia!, School of Rock, Newsies, Mary Poppins, Grease, The Sound of Music, Hairspray and more.

Tuacahn’s Broadway season runs from May through October in the breathtaking outdoor amphitheatre, followed by a festive holiday production indoors from November through December, and an additional indoor winter show from January to March. With performances running year-round, Tuacahn delivers Broadway-quality entertainment in every season. Season Packages are available for all five summer shows.

The Hafen Theatre

The Hafen Theatre at Tuacahn Center for the Arts is an intimate, temperature-controlled indoor venue that seats up to 428 guests. Renovated in 2018 to enhance both comfort and capacity, the Hafen may be smaller than the iconic outdoor amphitheatre, but it delivers the same high-caliber production quality audiences expect from Tuacahn. With state-of-the-art technology and professional-grade capabilities, it’s perfectly equipped to host the Broadway-style shows that have become a Tuacahn trademark.

Concerts and Events

Tuacahn Amphitheatre has welcomed more than 500 concerts and showcased hundreds of talented musicians and performers over the years. Whether you're enjoying your favorite artist or laughing along with a top-tier comedian, there’s nothing like experiencing live entertainment under the stars. The amphitheatre is home to seasonal favorites like Thriller and Christmas in the Canyon, along with an exciting mix of concerts across every genre, tribute acts, comedy shows and symphony performances.
