Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre Imagination Movers tickets

I am a fan of getting the kiddos interested in theatre and the arts! If your child likes watching and listening to the Imagination Movers, I think bringing your child to see Imagination Movers live would be a great idea!

Imagination Movers will be playing two shows at the Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre on Saturday March 19, 2011, and Ticket King has Imagination Movers tickets available. The two shows will be at 1:30 and 4:30 pm.

If your child has never been to the Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre, it is quite a treat. The building is old and holds such character, and you feel like you are attending an important event. Paintings on the ceiling, chandeliers to check out, etc. Your child will feel very important getting to attend an event at a location such as the Orpheum Theatre!

Contact Ticket King today to buy your Imagination Movers tickets for one of the two shows at the Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre, 612-341-4131.

Mary Poppins tickets all over the US!

The winds will be changing often in the next few months as Mary Poppins tours from city to city!

Ticket King has tickets for the Portland, Seattle and Boston runs of Mary Poppins --it's practically perfect! If you're looking for other cities, chances are Ticket King can get you Mary Poppins tickets for those cities as well. To see a full listing of the Mary Poppins musical tour, go to our website, www.TicketKingOnline.com!

I was fortunate enough to see Mary Poppins while it was showing in Minneapolis a year or so ago, and I was blown away! It was SUCH an amazing show! It was outstanding the way they were able to manipulate the stage and the devotion of the actors to be strung up so they can fly and be upside down, and the chimney rooftop scene--just spectacular! If you have the opportunity to see the Mary Poppins musical, I would defiantly make sure you go! Young and old alike will love this musical! Especially those that grew up loving the movie version! There are some things that are different, which is always a little bit disappointing when you're a fan of the movie, and the stage performance cannot pull it off, so there are changes. However, unlike some movies that are made into stage performances, Mary Poppins surpassed my expectations!

Mary Poppins will be playing at the Boston Opera House in Boston from February 17 through March 30th.

The Paramount Theatre in Seattle hosts Mary Poppins from May 12 through May 28th.

From June 22 through June 28, Mary Poppins tickets are available for Keller Auditorium in Portland, Oregon.

Call Ticket King today if you need help placing your Mary Poppins ticket order for a city near you! We can be reached at 1-800-396-7328 Monday through Friday 9-6pm Central time, and Saturdays 9-2pm Central time. Or you can visit us online, 24 hours a day, at www.TicketKingOnline.com!

The Little Mermaid musical National Tour-breaking news!

I know I get a lot of people coming to my blog looking for information on tickets for The Little Mermaid musical National Tour-and The Little Mermaid tour dates...I have been waiting to find out information on The Little Mermaid US Tour, so I can update all of those that are looking for information as much as I am, but I hadn't heard anything yet. There has been nothing on the official site --I've been keeping my eye on it almost weekly! And I'm signed up to get updates from the official site and have not gotten an email yet with any tour dates!

The last I heard, the National US Tour of The Little Mermaid musical was to start in Fall 2010...Yet Fall 2010 is almost over, and I hadn't heard any news. However, I did some poking around today, and I found on Wikipedia, of all places, that the Little Mermaid US tour is going to be in Utah at the Tuacahn Amphitheatre, in Ivins, Utah! I went to the website for the Tuacahn Amphitheatre, and sure enough, it is listing Little Mermaid tickets for a HUGE run from June through October, 2011! That is great news for those in and around Utah!

I am really hoping that The Little Mermaid national tour makes it's way through Minneapolis because The Little Mermaid is definitely a MUST SEE Broadway show for me!

Keep checking back to my blog for any new updates on The Little Mermaid National US Tour!! I'll be sure to update you anytime I find out any new information on The Little Mermaid Broadway tour!

Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre Jersey Boys tickets

The musical Jersey Boys is coming to the Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre this coming Spring!

Jersey Boys will run from April 21 through May 7, 2011 at the Orpheum Theatre. There are price ranges for Jersey Boys tickets for any size pocket book through Ticket King! Ticket King has Jersey Boys tickets for select performances, ranging in price from $65 each in the Balcony sections, starting at $95 each on the main floor, and Ticket King even has Jersey Boys tickets in row B on the center floor, starting at $225 each.

Jersey Boys is a musical based on the group, the Four Seasons. The Four Seasons are a popular rock 'n roll group from the 1960s. Some may offhandedly know of The Four Seasons as Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, although the group never went by this name on any of their albums.

If you are not familiar with the music of The Four Seasons, you may recognize some of the song names such as "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man," and "Candy Girl."

Jersey Boys tickets are sure to be a hot item, as this show has continued to be popular on tour since it opened in San Diego in 2004. Jersey Boys officially opened on Broadway in November of 2005.

Contact Ticket King today for your Jersey Boy tickets! You can contact Ticket King at www.TicketKingOnline.com or 612-341-4131. You can always stop in one of our two Twin Cities locations at 212 Chicago Ave S in Minneapolis or 186 W 7th Street in St. Paul.

Guthrie Theater A Christmas Carol tickets-Wurtele Thrust Stage

Now that it's officially November, and Halloween is over, I guess it's OK to talk about...The Holidays, right?!

Yes, The Holidays are among us, and the Guthrie Theatre Wurtele Thrust Stage is hosting A Christmas Carol. A Christmas Carol runs from November 19th until December 30th at the Wurtele Thrust Stage in the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. I know there are some scrooges out there, that are not ready for The Holidays to be here yet. Seeing A Christmas Carol with a group of combined Scrooges, and Holiday Lovers is the best way to go! The people that love the holiday season will love the Holiday aspect of the show, and the Scrooges can Ba-HUMBUG along with Scrooge. You never know, you might come out at the other end ready to face the season! Or, maybe you need Holiday gift ideas for someone on your list! I, personally, believe that the gift of theatre is one of the best gifts someone can give. Not only are you giving someone a gift, but you are also giving them a memory!

Ticket King has A Christmas Carol tickets for the Guthrie Theater, starting at $95 each for Orchestra seating, for select dates.

To see a full line of inventory available for A Christmas Carol at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, see out website, www.TicketKingOnline.com!

For a bit more information on the background of A Christmas Carol, and some background on the showing of A Christmas Carol at the Guthrie Theatre, see my blog posting from last winter!

Mcguire Proscenium Stage - GuthrieThe 39 Steps tickets

The play The 39 Steps is playing in November at the Mcguire Proscenium Stage at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. Ticket King has The 39 Steps tickets priced at $95 each for Orchestra seating, which is a great deal!

The 39 Steps is a play based on a novel by John Buchan written in 1915 and also the film from 1935 that was directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The 39 Steps is considered a "farce" which in the theatre world is "a comedy which aims to entertain the audience by means of unlikely, extravagant, and improbable situations, disguise and mistaken identity, verbal humour of varying degrees of sophistication, which may include sexual innuendo and word play, and a fast-paced plot whose speed usually increases, culminating in an ending which often involves an elaborate chase scene." (per Wikipedia! :-)

Sounds like a slap-stick kind of movie circa Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keeton, if you ask me, which is a type of movie I love! I think I may need to check out The 39 Steps while I have the chance at the Guthrie Theatre!

Ticket King only has The 39 Steps tickets for two performances left, which are November 20th and November 26th, so contact us NOW to purchase your The 39 Steps tickets! 1-800-396-7328 or www.TicketKingOnline.com!

Randy Moss comes back to play for the Minnesota Vikings!

If you're like me, you've missed Randy Moss playing for the Vikings the past six years and must be STOKED that the New England Patriots traded Randy Moss to the Minnesota Vikings! I'm sure there are lots of you out there that didn't miss him either....

But I'm speaking to the ones that have MISSED Randy Moss! The guy that made Culpepper look good! The guy that can stick an impossible catch. I have always thought that the Vikings made a huge mistake in trading Moss after the 2004 season.

I am a huge Minnesota Vikings fan, and I love Randy Moss. I still sport my Randy Moss number 84 jersey, although I had hung my jersey up for this season, since I am 6.5 months pregnant. However, this morning, I took my Randy Moss Vikings Jersey out of the pregnancy retirement, and fit it over my growing belly! It still fits! Barely, but it fits! (and with the Twins playoff game today against the Yankees, I have my Minnesota Twins shirt on underneath! Vikings come first, but I still love my Minnesota Twins!)

My husband woke me up at 6:45 am this morning to let me know that Randy Moss was coming back to my beloved Minnesota Vikings. He had to assure me a few times that he was not joking, and I was not dreaming. Now, since you probably don't know me, you don' t know that I could sleep through a tornado, or maybe hear it, but then fall right back asleep without a problem. I love to sleep and can always fall back asleep...after he told me this news, I was UP FOR THE DAY! I hopped onto the internet to read it for myself and to update my Facebook status that it was Christmas in October, or even better, since my birthday is in October, that it was the best birthday gift EVER! This is gift enough, I don't need birthday gift this year, unless, possibly, it was a new Randy Moss jersey! :-)

With all that said, I won't pretend to know a ton about sports. Especially when it comes to non-Minnesota teams, I know very little about other teams, but I do know that Randy Moss is an awesome player, and I think the media makes him look worse than he is. Yes, he might cop an attitude sometimes, but when you're constantly scrutinized for things that don't matter, I'm willing to bet it would piss you off too.

I'm still bitter about Moss getting so much negativity from the FAKE MOONING! Look people, it's not like he actually took his pants down and mooned for real. He FAKE MOONED! I would let my son watch that any day of the week! Moss was CELEBRATING! *I don't have a son yet, but I will in January, and I will be proud to let him be a Randy Moss fan!*

Look, I hold a grudge, and I still have not forgotten how bitter I was about this dumb press making that fake mooning into such a big deal. I'm glad that Randy is willing to forget how Minnesota treated him and is willing to come back to us. Not that he had a final say in the outcome, per say, but I believe he has always wanted to play with Brett Favre, and that is probably the main or maybe the only reason he would want to play for Minnesota again. Hopefully it will end up being a joyous reunion!

I wonder what those people are thinking that had changed their Randy Moss jersey into a "Favre" jersey by crossing off the "8" in the 84....I bet they are kicking themselves now! Any guesses as to what jersey number Moss will have? Will he keep the 81 he's had for a few years now, or will Vikings number 84 let Moss have his Vikings number back!? A new number altogether?

I am SO excited to see what Randy Moss and Brett Favre, along with the rest of the amazing 2010 Minnesota Vikings offense and defense, can accomplish together! Let's get Rice healthy and really get this team going!

I'll be tuned in for Monday Night Football to watch the return of Randy Moss to the Minnesota Vikings, wearing purple and gold, will you? (If you need Minnesota Vikings tickets for the Monday Night Football game against the New York Jets, or any Minnesota Vikings tickets for any game, contact Ticket King today at 612-341-4131!)

I hope the state of Minnesota, and Vikings fans all across the board, will welcome Randy Moss back!

Let's look forward to what is hopefully a Super Bowl season for the Minnesota Vikings!

Skol Vikings!!

Spider-Man on Broadway!?

Have you heard the news that Spider-Man will be on Broadway this Fall?

That's right, our beloved Marvel character Spider-Man will begin previews at the Foxwoods Theatre in New York in November, and Spider-Man on Broadway Opens on December 21, 2010. The Foxwoods Theatre address is 213 W. 42nd Street, New York, NY.

The lyrics and music are by Bono & The Edge. If you're a U2 fan, especially, I am sure that the music for Spider-Man on Broadway will not let you down!

The full name of the Broadway show is: Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark.

There is a good article about the actor portraying Spider-Man, Reeve Carney, in the New York Times that you may find interesting!

If you're a theatre-lover, and have a son or child (or maybe a husband!) that has never been interested in going to Broadway with you, this might be the Broadway show to change their mind!

Ticket King does not currently have tickets for Spider-Man, but check back, as you never know when we could get tickets in!

Orpheum Theatre Wicked Review--Wicked tickets still available!

I was lucky enough to receive Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre Wicked tickets as a birthday gift from my wonderful in-laws. The Wicked show I attended was last Friday, September 3rd. I had been looking forward to seeing Wicked on Broadway, and was so excited for this opportunity! For those of you that are not as lucky as I am to get Wicked tickets gifted to you, there is still the chance to buy your Wicked Tickets from Ticket King!

Ticket King still has some Wicked tickets available for the following dates:

Friday 9/10
Saturday 9/11
Sunday 9/12, afternoon and evening
Friday 9/17
Saturday 9/18
and the last two performances on Sunday 9/19, afternoon and evening.

The Wicked tickets still available range from anywhere from only two seats left for a show, to about 25 tickets left, which is great because it means there are still Wicked tickets out there for purchase, but don't be fooled, the Wicked tickets will sell FAST! We have many calls daily looking for Wicked tickets! It's a very popular ticket for the Twin Cities area! As word gets out about how great it is, everyone wants to check it out! Next weekend is the last weekend already of the semi-long run of Wicked at the Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre!

So, with that out of the way, onto my Broadway Wicked review!

First off, the Orpheum Theatre is an amazing place to see a play! Located at 910 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55403, the Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre opened in 1921 and still shows the 1920's charm almost 90 years later. A huge focal point upon walking into the Orpheum Theatre is the huge chandelier in the center of the main auditorium. The chandelier is 15 feet high and weighs 2,000 pounds, and is stunning! The Orpheum Theatre ceilings are painted, which is another focal point to look at while you wait for your show to start.

I haven't been to too many Theatre's, but it doesn't seem the norm to allow food and drinks into the main auditorium, which the Orpheum Theatre allows. The Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre has a full bar on the main level, and one in the balcony, where you can purchase an array of drinks. For Wicked, there was a non-alcoholic drink they named The Ruby Red Slipper, which was really yummy. Since I'm pregnant, it was nice to have a fun drink to order that I could drink. Usually there are also cookies for sale, which proceeds benefit a charity (at least when I've seen the cookies it always seems to be for a charity.) I am not positive if other snacks are sold.

There really doesn't' seem to be a horrible place to sit in the Orpheum Theatre, however, for more details on different locations, check out my previous post: Orpheum Theatre Wicked Tickets-Minneapolis Orpheum Best Seats. I sat in section 9 row L. If you're in the first section of the balcony, I think you'll have a better view. The higher you get, it feels a bit high, like you're missing the top of the stage, which usually doesn't matter. For Wicked, however, there are a few things that happen towards the top of the stage (as there was for Mary Poppins as well). Sitting in the side box seats, I would think you'd miss some action on the side of the stage you're sitting on. I'm not sure if those side box seats are listed with a limited view at all.

As far as a cast review of Wicked, I thought everyone did an amazing job! There were a few understudies used for our performance, and for our show, there was also a Stand-by that was used for Elphaba. I thought the actress for Elphaba did an amazing job! My favorite song was "Defying Gravity."

Watching the story of how Glinda the Good Witch and The Wicked Witch the West first met and the story that takes place before Dorothy came to Oz really makes a difference in how I look at The Wizard of Oz! It's amazing how we always tend to take situations and people at face value and we do not take the time to wonder or ask how a person came to be or why they act or do the things they do. It's amazing how differently the story is told from this other view point. I don't want to give too much away for those that may have not seen it yet, but it's very interesting!

Overall, I give Wicked five out of five stars, two thumbs up, a standing ovation, etc. If you have yet to see Wicked while it's running at the Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre, do not hesitate. If you're a theatre lover, I think you will love the show! Call Ticket King now at 612-341-4131, or order online at www.TicketKingOnline.com!

Orpheum Theatre Wicked tickets-Minneapolis Orpheum best seats

So, if you're a reader of my blog, and you're a Theatre Lover and live in the Minneapolis area, you probably know that Wicked is currently playing at the Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre. If you haven't seen Wicked yet, but are pondering getting Wicked Tickets, you might be wondering where the best seats in the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis are located.

Now, to be honest (and in my opinion), there really isn't a horrible place to sit in the Orpheum! Check out the Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre seating chart as you read along. About 6 or 7 years ago, I decided to get people theatre tickets as often as possible for birthdays and Christmas presents. Not that I can afford the best every time, but I for sure couldn't back then! I saw Little Women at the Orpheum Theatre around this time and was literally in the last row of the balcony. They were still great seats! The only issue was that we were the furthest away you can be, so we couldn't see all the details, per se, on the stage, but the biggest thing I noticed was that I couldn't make out the facial features of the actors. Not a huge deal. We still had an excellent time at the play, and we didn't miss out on any of the action of the play itself. I've also seen The Lion King at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis, and sat just a few rows in front of the last row of the balcony. It was an absolutely amazing experience! (Not sure if there would be a way to NOT enjoy seeing The Lion King! At the time, it was my very first Broadway musical I had ever seen, and it just blew me away! I hope it comes back again some time!)

Now, if you can afford a little bit more, (or love to splurge a little bit on the good things in life) I LOVE sitting towards the front of the balcony. I almost enjoy overlooking the stage from the first few rows of the balcony than being on the floor. You can see everything from the balcony, and being in the first few rows of the balcony is basically the same as being about a third of the way back on the main floor (That is just a guess, but it seems pretty close!) This is where I sat for Grease last fall.

For Mamma Mia! in March, I think this was the first time I sat on the Main Floor of the Orpheum Theatre. I was towards the back of the main floor section, in a centered section, and I had a wonderful time! I felt like I could see everything really well! Would I have liked to be closer? Yes. Would I sit here again? Yes. (If I couldn't afford closer seats, or this was all that was available!)

Now, what do I really think is THE BEST PLACE to sit for Wicked at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis?

Even though I have not personally sat here yet, I would love to sit about row E-J in a centered section of the main floor. I feel like this would be the perfect place to sit. Not too far back, not too close.

Has anyone ever sat in rows A-D at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis? If you have, I would LOVE to hear from you! I have always wondered, are these first few rows THE BEST seats, or are those seats a little bit too close to the action? Do you have to almost crank your neck back to see what is going on? Are you too close and all you can see is the make up that is caked onto the actors, or is the detail amazing? Please, inquiring minds want to know! Let us know what you thought, if you have sat in the first few rows of the main floor at the Orpheum Theatre!!

At any rate, if you're hoping or planning on purchasing Wicked Tickets for the Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre, you better buy your tickets NOW! I am pretty sure the box office is sold out, or if they are not totally sold out, the quantity has to be very limited. Ticket King does not have Wicked Tickets to every show, so you better act quickly if you want to see Wicked in Minneapolis! I believe this is the 3rd or 4th (check a previous blog of mine! :) time Wicked has been playing in Minneapolis, so who knows when it will be back again!
