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!

Ticket King has Minneapolis Wicked tickets for the Orpheum Theatre!

Hey Theatre-Lovers! Guess what!? Over the weekend, I was given an early birthday present from my in-laws while they were in town for a visit! Can you guess what it was? Well, if you read the title of this blog posting, you probably have a pretty good idea!

I received WICKED TICKETS as an early birthday gift! I am SO excited! Wicked is on THE top of my MUST SEE Broadway shows for 2010! Of all the Broadway Shows going on this year, Wicked is the one I wanted to see the most! (Unless The Little Mermaid happens to come on tour starting in 2010, but I still don't have any new updates on The Little Mermaid Tour! As soon as I hear ANYTHING new, dates, cities, etc, I'll write a blog about it! That will be my next MUST SEE Broadway show!!)

It was quite a surprise to get a birthday gift in July, since my birthday is not until October! I'll be seeing Wicked in September, so if anyone in the Minneapolis area sees Wicked at the Orpheum Theatre before the beginning of September, please write a review of what you thought of the cast and the performance!

If you aren't one of the lucky ones (like me) to already have Orpheum Theatre Wicked tickets, you're in luck because Ticket King still has plenty of great Wicked tickets available! If you're on a budget, but want to see Wicked, Ticket King has Wicked tickets in the Balcony section, which would be the cheaper option for Wicked tickets! If you have a bit more money to splurge on the tickets, or if price is no object because Wicked is not an option just any old day, Ticket King has really great tickets available as well, on the main floor! Whatever your wants and needs are for Wicked Tickets for the Orpheum Theatre, Ticket King is the place to call!

Ticket King has Wicked tickets available for numerous Wicked shows ranging in dates from August 14, 2010 through September 19, 2010!

Feel free to check out our inventory online at www.TicketKingOnline.com or give us a call at 612-341-4131.

I look forward to hearing reviews of Wicked in Minneapolis before I see it! I hope it lives up to the hype!

Also, for those that have already seen Wicked, and that read the book as well. What did you think? Were the book and the musical similar in story line? Did you like Wicked the book more than the musical, or vice versa, or where they equal? I'm interested to know your thoughts!

Puttin' on the Ritz lyrics:

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air

High hats and narrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time

Now, if you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
Perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper

Come, let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or "umberellas"
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz

Tips his hat just like an English chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy
Very snappy

You'll declare it's simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
