Tuacahn might be the easiest night out you have on this trip. Tuacahn is an outdoor theater built into a red rock canyon in Ivins, about a five minute drive from the house, and it stages full Broadway musicals under the stars from spring into fall. We send almost every group here at least once. Here is the 2026 lineup, what to bring for an outdoor show, and how close it sits to Sunshine Suites.
Tuacahn at a glance
- Drive: about 5 minutes from the house

How far is Tuacahn from Sunshine Suites?
About five minutes by car. It sits just past Ivins, so you can have dinner at the house, drive over for a show, and be back before the kids who stayed home are asleep. Of everything nearby, it is the shortest trip for the biggest night out.
What shows are playing at Tuacahn in 2026?
Two Broadway titles anchor the 2026 season, Anastasia and Come From Away, with touring concerts and family shows mixed in spring through fall. A few of the titles on the calendar:
| Production | 2026 dates |
|---|---|
| Anastasia | March 2 to 7 |
| Finding Nemo (family musical) | May 1 |
| Come From Away | June 18 to July 11 |
| Concerts (Scotty McCreery and others) | Select dates |
What is it like to see a show there?
The stage backs right up to the red rock, and as the sun sets the cliffs light up behind the actors. It is a real Broadway production, not a small local show, and the canyon setting makes it feel like nothing else. Desert nights cool off quickly once the sun is gone, so we always remind guests to grab a jacket on the way out, even when the afternoon felt warm.
How do you get tickets?
Tickets are sold through Tuacahn directly, online or by calling the box office at 435 652 3300. Popular shows and summer weekends sell out, so we tell guests to book once their dates are set. The venue seats about 1,920, and there is not really a bad seat in a canyon.
Can you make a night of it with the family?
Easily. Eat early at the house, head over before dark, and let the kids run a little before the show starts. With the place only five minutes away, a late finish is no problem. For the rest of the area, see things to do near Sunshine Suites.
