Escape to Egypt with Ogden Musical Theatre’s Aida
Ogden-In 1924, Peery’s Egyptian Theater opened in downtown Ogden as a classic movie house patterned after other famous movie houses of the time, including the most famous one in Hollywood. A major restoration in the 1990s by many partners has kept this theater a local gem that Ogden Musical Theatre is lucky to call home. The inspired choice to produce the musical production Aida, with music by Elton John, Lyrics by Tim Rice, and a book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls, and David Henry Hwang in this venue on its 100 year anniversary has absolutely paid off. Before the production even starts the audience is transported to a different place and time. Directed at Ogden Musical Theatre by Mark Daniels, the opening scene of the show takes place in a museum made to replicate ancient Egypt. Set designer Marilyn Montgomery has done such an impeccable job of making the set combine with theatre that it is almost impossible to tell where the set ends and where the theater begins. It is also important to note that the set design works so seamlessly with the lighting design by Daniel Garner to create true spectacle. Some of the best moments of this were in the numbers My Strongest Suit, where the color schemes made a lot of splash, and the opening of act two, A Step Too Far, where the LED lights on the stairs combined with the traditional overhead lights made for a visual treat. Finally, the use of the historic starlite ceiling during Written in the Stars was inspired.
