We’re all familiar with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, named the most-watched motion picture by the Library of Congress. The musical Wicked, based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, is a parallel to the classic film.

Instead of following Dorothy in her quest to return to Kansas the musical tells the stories of the witches of the Land of Oz. The plot begins well before Dorothy’s arrival, when Elphaba, an outcast with green skin, and Galinda, a popular and charismatic beauty, were just two unlikely friends. Rivalry ensues between the two friends over opposing beliefs and a shared love-interest, which leads to Elphaba becoming the Wicked Witch of the West.

The musical, called “Broadway’s biggest blockbuster” by the New York Times, has come a long way since its premiere on Broadway in October of 2003. It has since opened up five other North American productions, two national tours, and a number of international productions in places like Japan and Germany.

Holding world box office records around the world, Wicked is quickly becoming a popular culture addiction. It’s a fascinating take on the original tale and a great show for anyone who couldn’t get enough of the wonderful world of Oz.

Since the mid-1960’s, pop/rock band Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons have been an internationally popular American musical group, known for time-tested hits such as “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man”. The story of the legendary Four Seasons is now on Broadway depicted in the hit musical “Jersey Boys”.

With music developed by former Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio, lyrics by producer Bob Crewe and book developed by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, Jersey Boys has received four Tony Awards, including “Best Musical” (2006) since its 2005 Broadway debut.

The story of Jersey Boys follows former Four Seasons members Matt Bogart (played by Nick Massi), Bob Gaudio (Ryan Jesse), Tommy DeVito (Dominic Nolfi) and Frankie Valli (Jarrod Spector) throughout their rags-to-riches life stories. While depicting their development as a musical group, Jersey Boys portrays the personal struggles of the New Jersey natives such as family tragedies, financial struggles and Mafia involvement.

Though Jersey Boys is based on a fast-paced story telling aspect, it is also filled with countless Four Seasons musical classics, such as “December 1963 (Oh What a Night!)” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”. The intersection of nostalgic music, gripping story lines and Broadway quality performances makes it an enjoyable production for everyone.

The musical “Follies” debuted on Broadway in 1971 and has since been nominated for eleven Tony Awards, winning seven of them. “Follies” tells the story of a reunion amongst former performers in the musical revue Weismann’s Follies, who were active during the time period between World War I and World War II.

Staged in a run-down Broadway theatre, the plot focuses on two former Follies showgirls Sally and Phyllis and their troubled marriages with respective husbands. Sally and her husband Buddy must cope with Buddy’s affair with another woman, as well as Sally’s residual feelings for her past love Ben – who is also Phyllis’ husband. Simultaneously, Phyllis and Ben struggle with Phyllis’ feelings of emotional abandonment by the self-absorbed Ben.

However, both Sally and Phyllis share an awakening of how much they have changed since their days in the Weismann’s Follies. It is quite literally illustrated by the ghostly images of the women’s younger selves which are present throughout the performance.

Though the production has been altered over the course of its existence, several musical numbers have remained consistent in Follies, such as “Broadway Baby”, “I’m Still Here” and “Losing My Mind”. These legendary songs, as well as the thoughtfully prepared story line, have made Follies one of the most well-known Broadway productions.

Set in a Greek Island paradise, the musical Mamma Mia! tells the story of 20-year old Sophie’s search for her biological father to walk her down the aisle at her upcoming wedding. After reading her mother’s diary, Sophie narrows the choices down to three very different men.

Several former ABBA members contributed to development of the music, including Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, to recreate the bands hits such as “Dancing Queen”, “Super Trooper” and “Lay All Your Love on Me”.

For ABBA fans and musical fans alike, however, Mamma Mia! has proven itself to be an upbeat and compelling performance for audiences.

Like the hit DreamWorks film the Broadway version also tells the intriguing tale of Frank Abagnale Jr., who became one of the the most successful con men in America at just 16 years old.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone have always had a strange relationship with the term “too far.” With “South Park,” their long running animated TV show on Comedy Central, Parker and Stone have sparked controversy over taboo topics and have often pushed the thin line of “too far” forward. The two have used humor to illuminate topics and issues that need serious attention while remarkably making audiences laugh. And though “South Park” remains one of TVs most popular shows Parker and Stone have taken their style elsewhere.

But now the dynamic duo have taken their talent elsewhere. With “The Book of Mormon” Stone and Parker co-create a dazzling piece of comedy about a pair of Mormon missionaries and their experiences in Uganda. The excellent laughs and dialogue are matched by Robert Lopez’ composition.

The play has won 9 Tony Awards, including one for best musical. Along with awards, “Mormon” has racked up great reviews all over the country!

Whether you are a fan of the always taboo-toppling “South Park” or you just love a great musical with a sense of humor come on out and see “The Book of Mormon” and you surely won’t regret the decision!

It comes as no surprise that tickets for The Book of Mormon have been on Select-A-Ticket’s Top 5 Events list. Less than three months ago New York’s Eugene O’Neill Theatre welcomed a new musical to Broadway, and now audiences cannot get enough.

This year The Book of Mormon lead the Tony Awards with 14 nominations. Not to mention this foul-mouthed comedy took home the most prestigious award of the night, best musical. The show took a grand total of nine awards home, just missing the record number of 12 Tonys set by The Producers.

Brought to you by the dirty masterminds of television’s satirical “South Park,” The Book of Mormon features an original book with hilarious music and lyrics by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Composer and lyricist Robert Lopez of Avenue Q also was behind the genius book of this musical.

The book is just as expected it would be coming from Parker and Stone, as it is filled with wildly offensive jokes, but is still completely candid and hilarious on a range of topics including AIDS and religion.

“The Book of Mormon” is now open, with performances scheduled Tuesday-Sunday at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre in New York City.

Starring Samuel L. Jackson as King, “The Mountaintop” is set in Memphis, Tennessee at the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King was assassinated.

“The Mountaintop” confronts Martin Luther King’s past along with that of all African Americans. Samuel L. Jackson, an Academy Award Nominee for his role in “Pulp Fiction,” will play the part of Dr. King.

The production, which hits Broadway on September 22, 2011, mixes humor, exhilaration, and heartbreak while delivering Martin Luther King’s powerful messages of peace, equality, and love. The play’s writer, Katori Hall, has penned numerous plays including “Hoodoo Love,” “Remembrance,” and “Hurt Village.” Her perception of Dr. Martin Luther King will be followed by a nameless woman who delivers room service to the now notorious room 306 and inspires powerful thought.

Not every movie would necessarily be good when moved to a Broadway stage but it seems that Whoopi Goldberg movies easily make the translation. There was the musical version of the classic 1990 film “Ghost.” Next, Oprah Winfrey produced a stage version of the book/movie “The Color Purple.” However Goldberg never took a part in bringing her famous films to the stage…until now.

Starting this summer “Sister Act,” a musical version of the 1992 comedy that starred Whoopi Goldberg hits Broadway. The play, stuffed with catchy music, follows Delores (Goldberg in the film), an eccentric Reno singer who witnesses her mobster boyfriend (Harvey Keitel in the film) kill a man.

Knowing that she could be next she enters the witness protection program and ends up serving as a nun in a convent where she discovers a choir of sisters who need her help.
“We’re just gonna bring ‘Sister Act’ because, come on, singing nuns and a girl on the run. There’s nothing more fun than that,” says Goldberg, who is a producer of the show.

The Broadway production will start June 2 and will continue through the summer and into the fall. Don’t miss your chance to see this divine musical grace the Broadway stage!

Yet another “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” cast member has sustained an injury during a performance of this Broadway musical. In February, T.V. Carpio told an interviewer that she did feel safe in the show. Despite her insistence of this, it seems as though Carpio was not as safe as she thought.

Carpio, who plays Arachne in this injury-prone Broadway musical, was injured on March 16 while performing an onstage battle with another cast member. No further details on how the injury happened are known as of now, but she will more than likely be out of the show for at least two weeks.

Due to a plethora of technical issues, “Spider-Man” has experienced countless delays causing them to push back the opening date numerous times. With more than 110 preview performances, this musical has become the first musical with over 100. Most musicals on the stages of Broadway today typically only have somewhere between 25 and 40 of these preview performances.

Academy Award winner Robin Williams will make his Broadway debut in the premiere of Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo. Williams will be portraying the thoughtful role of the tiger at the Richard Rodgers Theatre with direction from two-time Tony Award nominee Moisés Kaufman.

Williams has only previously been on Broadway during a limited engagement of a comedy show eight years ago. This production marks his first role as an actor on the Broadway stage. Also marking playwright Rajiv Joseph’s Broadway debut, this musical is a first for many involved. As a finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, this play is an creative drama about the Iraq War.

Kaufman describes the musical as a”ferocious comedy” that narrates the lives of a “a tiger, two American marines and an Iraqi gardener as they roam the streets of Baghdad in search of friendship, redemption and a toilet seat made of gold.” This musical features certain scenes abnormal sense of humor, but is mainly a dreary dark production.

Broadway’s new musical, Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark is perpetually experiencing delays that continue to push back the show’s official opening date. After numerous injured actors, and countless rescheduled opening nights, there are rumors circulating that the opening night of this problem-proned musical may be pushed back to an even later date.

Rumor has it that the producers of the musical are considering a change in the current opening date of Tuesday, March 15. They may be looking to push it back until June, but either way the show is yearning for an official opening night. The show has been in previews since last year, which means Spider-Man is on it’s way to becoming the musical with the most preview shows.

If the opening date is pushed back until June, the performance on March 15 would act as a “celebration of sorts for the work done so far.” Although the early performances of Spider-Man the musical received poor reviews, the musical has come a long way since then. Many of the technical kinks have been worked out, and many aspects are being tweaked in order to improve the story and overall quality of the production.

With a $65 million budget, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is the most expensive Broadway production in history. When the show finally opens, it will truly be something spectacular and entertaining to all audiences.

The new Broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark cannot seem to catch a break. First, the show experienced countless problems, which forced them to push its opening date back multiple times. Now that the show has finally opened, Spider-Man continues to be a trouble maker.

The show relies heavily on the use of props and cables in order to perform flying stunts. This has been the root of many of the problems. Previews for the show have received poor reviews due to the technical glitches, and constant delays.

Last week two performances were cancelled while producers attempted to focus on solving all of the safety concerns. The cancellations were provoked by an afternoon performance that accidentally sent a Spider-Man stunt double into a stage pit, and left him seriously injured. New safety measures were put into effect after this unfortunate incident.

Regardless of all the problems that Spider-Man is experiencing, the show must go on. During Sunday night’s blizzard the show still remained to draw a crowd despite the harsh weather. Once the musical irons out all of the technical glitches, the show is sure to be a huge hit.

Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark is scheduled to celebrate opening night at the Foxwoods Theater on January 11, 2011.

Tickets to see Jersey Boys on Broadway is no stranger to Select A Ticket’s Top 5 Events of the Week list. For over five years the Broadway show, Jersey Boys, has been playing to sold out audiences. Audiences and critics agree that Jersey Boys is a sensational one of a kind musical. In 2006, the show won several Tony awards including Best Musical.

Jersey Boys the musical features The Four Season, a 1960′s rock and roll band comprised by the members Frankie Valli, Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi, and Bob Gaudio. The musical follows the band’s coming of age which tells the story of their rise, success, and fall. Uncommon for a musical, it is told in a documentary style as each member of the band taking turns narrating the story.

Each individual band member as well as the band collectively, has many life struggles. These complications include gambling debts, Mafia threats, and family disasters that they are forced to deal with throughout the musical.

The band grew up together in the tough neighborhoods of New Jersey where they sang, rehearsed, and they ultimately used their innovative style to their advantage and founded the Doo Wop genre. You’ll definitely enjoy the music from this show, and you may even recognize some of the tunes such as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and “December 1963 (Oh, What A Night).”

After years of delays, previews for Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark have finally began. This highly anticipated musical is a big budget production that could be Broadway’s next big thing.

The musical version of Marvel Comics superhero, Spider-Man, is directed by Julie Taymor, and the show will feature music from U2′s Bono and The Edge.

Although previews for the show have received poor reviews due to their technical glitches, there is still hope for this new spectacle. The use of props and cables are necessary due to the flying stunts performed in the musical, however these were the cause of the numerous stops during the first show.

The show may have experienced some technical hardships on the first night of previews, but they have made improvements. During the second night of previews Spider-Man was able to work out many of the kinks, and the show only stopped once.

Since this much improvement was made in just one night, many are confident that the technical problems will be worked out by Opening night.

Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark is scheduled to celebrate opening night at the Foxwoods Theater on January 11, 2011.

Originally scheduled to open on Broadway December 21, 2010, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark has pushed back opening night once more. This is something that is all too unfamiliar to this action-adventure musical. Producers have made the decision to delay the show’s opening by three weeks, and is now finally set to celebrate it’s opening night on January 11, 2011.

Lead producer Michael Cohn released a statement on Friday saying ”shows like ours, that embrace the challenge of opening on Broadway without an out-of-town tryout, often need to adjust their schedules along the way.” He blamed an “unprecedented level of technical artistry” as the cause of many of the delays in production.

Previews will begin just after a busy Thanksgiving holiday, on Sunday, November 28, which is not exactly the best time to open a new Broadway play. The musical has been in the making for over six years, and unfortunately the show has experienced unavoidable delays. These delays include a loss of their lead character, and now injuries to two of the starring actors, causing this undesirable opening date.

Despite a years worth of delays, this production seems as though it will be worth the wait. This show features a cast of 41 members and an orchestra of 18 members. The designer of the aerial stunts performed in the show was completed by a longtime member of Cirque du Soleil. Spider-Man the musical promises to take live theatre to the next level with this groundbreaking musical.

Nearly 50 years ago, legendary NFL coach and general manager, Vince Lombardi was at the peak of his career. He now has many accomplishments to his name, including leading the Packers to victory in the first two Super Bowls.

His unique way of leading the team through bullying, while showing love and being protective, along with his ability to create a team unlike any other sparked a general interest in Lombardi’s life.

The public was interested in gaining more knowledge on his skills and methods of management and coaching, to his inspirational and motivational teachings, all the way through to his death at the age of 57 from cancer. This interest inspired a biography based on Vince Lombardi’s life by  Pulitzer Prize-winning author, David Maraniss, entitled When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vincent Lombardi.

This biography in turn inspired a broadway play on one of the NFL’s most legendary coaches. Lombardi starring Dan Lauria opened on Broadway earlier this weak at New York’s Circle in the Square Theatre. Sponsored by the NFL, this play highlights and showcases one of the league’s most iconic heroes for all kinds of audiences.

On Wednesday, September 29 the audience of American Idiot got an exciting surprise. Green Day front man, Billie Joe Armstrong, played the role of St. Jimmy in this big-budget musical based on his 2005 album. The audience was not sure if he would be appearing on stage that night as he was not listed in the playbook, and it was not announced that he would be filling in for the show until the house lights were dimmed.

Armstrong’s character did not come on stage until the second part of the musical, which gave the audience time to get hyped up for his arrival. Filling in for actor Tony Vincent, Armstrong jumped into the role as if he was on Broadway all his life.

He played the role of Jimmy, an evil apparition whose goal is to corrupt Johnny, the protagonist of the play. As he entered the stage he belted out Jimmy’s title track, “St. Jimmy” with spiked hair and a black jacket and the audience went wild. The applause went on for so long at the end of the song that the musical was forced to be paused for an extra minute.

Armstrong took a bow with the rest of the cast when the show ended, and the curtain fell. The curtain rose again, as he played “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” on his guitar. Armstrong and the rest of the cast took one final bow beofre blowing kisses and shaking hands as he stepped off stage.

Yesterday we saw that tickets to see The Addams Family on Broadway were the highest selling tickets on our Top 5 Events list. It’s no surprise that tickets to this weirdly wonderful show are a hot item, especially because each of the iconic members of the family are played by an amazing cast member. The producers of the show are hoping that losing such popular stars will not affect the success of the musical.

As advertising for this new musical began, the producers focused more on the famous branding of the Addams family. They paid close attention to highlighting the characters, such as Morticia and Gomez, who we learned to love from pages of The New Yorker, rather than the star actors portraying those parts. The producers were hoping to make the transition easier for new actors to take over the lead roles in March when the current stars are expected to leave.

The show’s producers are already looking for new stars to take over for the leading couple. Unfortunately the show has not found their new lead couple yet, as John Leguizamo and Minnie Driver have both turned down the opportunity to portray Gomez and Morticia.

Despite the search for a new leads, two time Tony Award winners Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth currently star as the wonderfully weird couple at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York City.

December 4, 1956 was the date that Sam Phillips brought this incredible foursome together at the Sun Records studio in Memphis, Tennessee.  This impromptu recording session and the uniting of these four legends made this recording session one of the greatest rock jams of all time.
