LOGAN – Tickets are now on sale for Pickleville on Tour’s first ever spring road show.
The musical comedy/melodrama The Hunt for El Bandito will be staged March 14 through 24 at the Utah Theatre in downtown Logan.
Under the direction of playwright/composer TJ Davis, the notorious Juanito Bandito and his outlaw gang are again up to no good, setting the stage for a riotous adventure packed with mischief, music and mayhem.
“The dusty town of Windy Bottoms is buzzing,” Davis explains, “when Sheriff Nash Thomas finally captures the infamous El Bandito and announces plans to hang him at high noon.
“When a cunning and captivating reporter from back East frees the bandit, the hunt is on. Teaming up with Kat ‘The Killer’ Sullivan, a bounty hunter with her own score to settle, the Sheriff can only hope to bring the outlaw to justice again.”
As usual, Davis will appear as the despicable – but also lovably misunderstood – outlaw. He describes The Hunt for El Bandito as your chance to see why thousands of northern Utah families consider a Juanito Bandito show to be one of the highlights of the theatre season.
Evening performances of The Hunt for El Bandito here in Logan are slated for 7 p.m. on Friday, March 14; Saturday, March 15; Monday, March 17; Wednesday, March 19; Thursday, March 20; Saturday, March 22; and Monday, March 24.
Matinee performances are slated for 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 15 and Saturday, March 22.
An early evening show is set for 5 p.m. on Friday, March 21, with a late show scheduled that same evening at 8 p.m.
The Pickleville on Tour troupe normally performs their Christmas shows in Logan at the Ellen Eccles Theatre, which seats 1,100 theater-goers.
Even with the traveling company’s 10-day extended run at the 400-seat Utah Theatre, Davis warns Pickleville fans that tickets for new spring show will likely sell out.
