A Christmas Carol tickets Minneapolis Guthrie Theater Wurtele Thrust Stage

Ticket King has A Christmas Carol tickets for the annual run of the show at the Minneapolis Guthrie Theatre Wurtele Thurst Stage. A Christmas Carol tickets are starting at $89 each! The Guthrie Theater will host A Christmas Carol from Sunday, November 20th through Friday, December 30th.

A Christmas Carol runs 95 minutes with no intermission. The play is the same A Christmas Carol that is written by Charles Dickens, and this adaptation is written by Barbara Field. Ebenezer Scrooge might not like Christmas, but it will truly feel like Christmas time after you see A Christmas Carol!

Children under 5 will not be admitted into A Christmas Carol, and the Guthrie Theater is recommending kids be at least 8 years old, because of the subject matter, it can be a little frightening!

The story A Christmas Carol has been around for a long time...Charles Dickens wrote it back in 1843! A Christmas Story follows Ebenezer Scrooge, the man who thinks of Christmas and says "Bah Humbug!", on a voyage where he is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Because of these visits, his outlook on life changes and he becomes a better person.





A Christmas Carol has been made into many different plays and movies, including a newer animated movie with multiple voices done by funny-man Jim Carrey, that came out in 2009.

Seeing A Christmas Carol with your family is a great tradition to go to year after year. Contact Ticket King today to purchase your A Christmas Carol tickets!

The Little Mermaid broadway musical

In an update to my blog post on November 9, 2010, I found a source at www.playbill.com, that said the broadway musical The Little Mermaid did make it's U.S. regional debut at the Tuacahn Amphitheatre and Center for the Arts in Utah, this past June. While this U.S. regional debut happened, the highly anticipated national tour has not surfaced.

For those of us who were waiting for the national tour to start, we will have to hope that a tour eventually starts in the future. For now, it does not look like a national U.S. The Little Mermaid musical tour is going to happen.

As always, if I hear anything different, I will let you know!

Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre Lion King musical tickets

The best theatre news I've heard recently is that The Lion King will be coming back to Minnesota in the 2011-2012 Broadway Season at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis!

The Lion King Broadway musical will run at the Orpheum Theatre starting on Thursday January 12, 2012, and continue through Sunday February 12, 2012.

I believe the last time The Lion King was in Minneapolis was in 2004 or 2005. I was fresh out of college with a low paying job. I bought my Mom tickets for she and I to go to The Lion King, as her Christmas gift that year. They were not the best seats, 2nd row from the back, actually, but it was still an amazing experience! The opening number was awe-some, and breathtaking, especially since it was my first Broadway musical ever!

I plan on going again this time around, and I hope to get better seats than last time. The view was fine in the back, but I want to take in the experience from a closer seat and compare the difference.

Since it's been so many years since The Lion King has been in Minnesota, I can be sure that tickets will be a hot commodity! Be sure to order your tickets right away, from Ticket King, to see The Lion King this winter!

Ticket King has The Lion King tickets starting at $79/ticket in the Balcony level.

Be Our Guest lyrics

Lumiere: Ma chere Mademoiselle,
it is with deepest pride
and greatest pleasure
that we welcome you tonight.

And now we invite you to relax,
let us pull up a chair
as the dining room proudly
presents - your dinner!

Be our guest! Be our guest!
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we provide the rest

Soup du jour Hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff It's delicious!
You don't believe me? Ask the dishes

They can sing They can dance
After all, Miss, this is France
And a dinner here is never second best

Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glass and then
you'll Be our guest
Oui, our guest Be our guest

Lumiere and Chorus:
Beef ragout Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambe"
Lumiere:
We'll prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret!

You're alone And you're scared
But the banquet's all prepared
No one's gloomy or complaining
While the flatware's entertaining
We tell jokes I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks

Chorus:
And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet
Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be our guest

Lumiere:
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest!

Lumiere and Chorus:
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!

Lumiere:
Life is so unnerving
For a servant who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Ah, those good old days when we were useful
Suddenly those good old days are gone
Ten years we've been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy!

Mrs Potts:
It's a guest! It's a guest!
Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed!
Wine's been poured and thank the Lord
I've had the napkins freshly pressed
With dessert She'll want tea
And my dear that's fine with me
While the cups do their soft-shoein'
I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
I'll get warm Piping hot
Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?
Clean it up! We want the company impressed

Chorus:
We've got a lot to do!

Mrs Potts:
Is it one lump or two?
For you, our guest!

Chorus:
She's our guest!

Mrs Potts:
She's our guest!

Chorus:
She's our guest!

Chorus:
Be our guest Be our gues
Our command is your request
It's been years since we've had anybody here
And we're obsessed With your meal With your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us help you We'll keep going
Course by course One by one
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's eat up

Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
Please, be our guest!

9 to 5 song lyrics
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition Yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin' Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin' And folks like me on the job from nine to five

Chorus:

Workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

Nine to five, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Mmmmm...

They let your dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away

In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll your way

2nd Chorus:

Workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

Nine to five, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

3rd Chorus:

Nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use you mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

Fade:

Nine to five, yeah They got you where they want you There's a better life And you dream about it, don't you? It's a rich man's game No matter what they call it And you spend your life Puttin' money in his wallet
