Salt Lake City is one step closer to having a Broadway style Theater which will be able to host shows on a large scale.

Utah Performing Arts Center, which is estimated to cost $100 million, will attract shows like "The Lion King," "Wicked" and "The Book of Mormon." However, the city and county governments still need to agree on how to operate the performing arts center. According to The Tribune the operating contract requires the county to host, on average, no fewer than 100 performances every year of Broadway-style or family events."

There was a meeting on Tuesday where the council voted 4 to 2 "to endorse the contracts that specify how the two governments will interact in developing and running the proposed playhouse on Salt Lake City's Main Street just south of 100 South. However, the County Council lost its quorum before its formal meeting and did not official ratify the agreements."

There has also been plans for the city owning and paying for a percentage of the theater.
