"1856" The Musical

"1856" THE MUSICAL

In Relief Society last Sunday, Margareta told us that her daughter Maria along with son-in-law and all the grandchildren were in this play. It is touring Utah and then returning to Mesa. Margareta highly recommends it and I thought it worthy of passing along to you. You can go to this site to get information on dates, times, locations and tickets.

"1856" The Musical, the powerful telling of the Mormon handcart migration, returns to the Ikeda Theatre from June 27 - July 3. With an inspiring soundtrack, excellent vocalists, and lively dance, "1856" captures the hope and heartache of early pioneers who were willing to sacrifice everything for their beliefs. Since its premiere in 2005, well over 20,000 people in four states have enjoyed this re-creation of the handcart saga of 1856, which is one of most intriguing and important chapters of American history. Starring Joseph Paur, Jamie Kay Alston and a cast of 150, "1856" is an unforgettable and moving experience.
