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

Cirque Du Soleil Minneapolis Under the Grand Chapiteau Mall of America tickets

Cirque Du Soleil - Ovo is coming to Minneapolis. Cirque Du Soleil - Ovo will run from May 26-June 12, 2011 Under the Grand Chapiteau Mall of America. This is a Cirque Du Soleil tent set up in the open parking lot at the Mall of America.

Ticket King has Cirque Du Soleil tickets for select dates of the run, starting at $174/ticket.

Cirque Du Soleil - Ovo is described as "An immersion into the teeming and energetic world of insects."

I have not seen Ovo, but it sounds amazing! The only Cirque Du Soleil I have seen was Beatle's Love in Las Vegas, and it was outstanding! I can only imagine that the whole Cirque Du Soleil franchise is spectacular! There was so much going on during Beatle's Love that I feel I could watch it ten times and still see something new each time that I didn't catch before. The sites and sounds and the way the story is told is so eyecatching. There are people in the air, hanging from ropes, coming down on wires, on the floor, coming in from numerous entrances to the stage. The choreography is mindboggling to me.

From just the one show of Cirque Du Soleil that I have experienced, I still would highly recommend going to any show!

Buy your Cirque Du Soleil - Ov0 tickets from Ticket King today! This will be a widely popular event, and Ovo Mall of America tickets will not last long!
