More than 35 singers, dancers and musicians performed in the Taylorsville Arts Council’s recent production, “A Menken Musical Revue,” which paid tribute to legendary composer Alan Menken. 

The show, which took place on Feb. 20 and 21 at the Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center, featured local talent performing a variety of songs by Menken, best known for his film scores like “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin.” 

“That was an incredible evening,” Mayor Overson said at a recent City Council meeting. “Twenty-three songs were performed in various ways, one of which involved dental floss and toothbrushes! We have such remarkable talent in our community.” 

One of the performers, Stephanie Urie, played the song “Beauty and the Beast” on her violin at the City Council meeting, as she did in the show. 

The Arts Council’s next production is “Once on This Island Jr.,” showing June 4, 5 and 6. Details to come.
