Orpheum Theatre Grease Tickets in Minneapolis going fast!

Last night was the night! I finally saw Grease on Broadway! What a charismatic night at the Orphuem Theater! It started with the character Vince Fontaine (whom I recognized as one of the earlier cast offs from the reality show "Grease, You're The One That I Want,") the fictional radio DJ from WAXX, warming up the crowd with some singing and interaction with the audience.

Once the musical Grease started, it was like I was in 1959 on the first day of school! All my favorite songs were there, like "Summer Nights," "We Go Together," and "Beauty School Dropout," staring none other than American Idol winner Taylor Hicks! Taylor Hicks fit the role quite well, with his grey hair and cheesey dance moves! I tried to get a picture of Taylor Hicks signing autographs after the show, but I realized I better buy a new digital camra, becaue the camra on my cell phone does not work in bad lighting! Sorry guys!


Another "You're The One That I Want" alum was Allie Schulz, who was third place. Allie is currently playing the tough leader of the Pink Ladies, Rizzo.


There are only a few Orpheum Theatre Grease tickets left while Grease is in Minneapolis at the Orpheum Theatre, so you better contact Ticket King soon!

Mary Poppins Orpheum Theatre tickets Sept 2009

While Mary Poppins has floated out of Minneapolis on her parrot head umbrella, she has dropped into other cities across the U.S. Contact Ticket King to see what city you would be able to purchase your Mary Poppins tickets for!



I was fortunate enough to get Broadway Musical Mary Poppins at the Orpheum Theatre tickets while Mary Poppins was playing in Minneapolis in September. My husband and I bought my niece Mary Poppins tickets for her 10th birthday. The look on her face when we walked into the Orpheum Theatre was completely worth the ticket cost.



Mary Poppins was the first Broadway show she's ever been to, and the first time being in a theatre that wasn't a high school auditorium, for that matter! Her face lit up when she saw the velvet chairs, huge glowing chandelier, the lit up Mary Poppins backdrop on the curtain that looked like the London rooftop skyline...she literally gasped, and it was so precious! To be able to be the person that brought that happiness to her was priceless to me! If you ever get an opportunity to bring a child to see Mary Poppins on Broadway, I highly recommend you do it!



The Broadway version of Mary Poppins is both very similar to the movie version with Julie Andrews, but also has some very different parts from the movie. While I didn't like the new area of the story they fit "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", I did really enjoy the new take on the song. The song was very similar, but had an added extension to the song where the cast all spell out the word and have hand movements along with it. It was rather spectacular! My favorite part of the whole Mary Poppins musical was the part where they are on the London rooftops with all the chimney sweeps. This is my favorite part in the movie, and I was impressed with how well they were able to keep the scene similar to the movie, considering it's live on a stage instead of being able to use the trickery possible with movies. At one point, Burt walked sideways up one side of the stage, upside down across the top of the stage, and then sideways back down the other side of the stage. At the end, Mary Poppins actually floated off the stage with her umbrella, over the crowd! It was quite amazing for me and my niece alike!

Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre Grease tickets available-GREASE is the word!

Hey Minnesota! The Broadway theatre show Grease is coming to Minneapolis and it starts TOMORROW! Grease will be running at the Orpheum Theatre starting on Wednesday November 18th through Sunday November 22nd, for a total of seven shows only! I don't know about YOU, but I've been looking forward to seeing the Broadway show Grease for a few years! I had Grease tickets to see Grease in New York back in 2007, but my Grease show performance was canceled due to the Broadway Strike that year! Now Grease is in Minneapolis, and I'm going (as long as there are no un-for-seen circumstances in the next two days! :-)

Taylor Hicks, winner of American Idol Season 5, plays "Teen Angel" in Grease! You won't want to miss this opportunity!

Grease tickets are going fast, and Ticket King only has tickets available for a few of the performances of Grease, so you better get your tickets NOW if you plan to see Grease while it is in Minneapolis! Tickets start at $135 per ticket for Main Floor tickets for Grease! I don't have as good of seats as sitting in the first few rows on the Main Floor, but I did upgrade myself from my usual seats in the last row to one of the first few rows in the Balcony. Anywhere you sit in the Orpheum Theatre is a good seat, but it's fun to get closer to the action once in a while!

I have loved the movie Grease as long as I can remember, and I watched the show Grease "You're The One That I Want" a few years ago. Do you remember that show? It was a reality series that let America pick who would play the parts of Sandy and Danny in the Broadway version of Grease! When Grease hit Broadway in August 2007, the winners of the Grease reality series, Laura Osnes and Max Crumm played Sandy and Danny. Laura Osnes is a Minnesota native, and was playing Sandy in the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre Grease production, before quitting to compete in the TV Show, clearly that worked out in her favor.

As you may be able to tell, I am extremely excited to finally see Grease on Broadway at the Orpheum Theatre this week! I hope you've bought your Orpheum Theatre Grease tickets already! If not, give us a call over here at Ticket King!
