Don't Be Treated Wickedly By Wicked
So as many of you might already be aware, Wicked is coming to Shea’s Performing Arts Center and tickets go on sale April 5, 2008. However, it seems there are already some issues.
According to Shea’s, it looks as though the show is going to be a sellout and they are afraid for their customers trying to buy tickets to the shows. Shea’s is already telling its ticket buyers to beware of overpriced tickets and to go directly to the source before they buy tickets with a ticket agency.
Shea’s explains that they cannot stop ticket agencies or brokers from buying tickets and reselling them. Sometimes these ticket agencies or brokers will even go so far as to steal logos from other places to make their websites look official.
That being the case, use the following information below to make sure that you aren’t getting a raw deal if you plan on going to the show:
• During the Wicked on sale event April 5 at the Shea’s Performing Arts Center Ticket Office, 650 Main St., in person from 7 a.m. – 10 a.m.
• At 10 a.m. on April 5, tickets will be available by calling Ticketmaster at 716-852-5000, online at www.ticketmaster.com and www.sheas.org and at Shea’s Ticket Office.
• Tickets for Wicked are $34.50, $39.50, $49.50, $54.50, $67.50, $72.50, and $127.50 for premium seating (available for most performances).
• If you purchase tickets utilizing a different method from those mentioned above and/or are paying more than the designated ticket price, you do not have a guaranteed seat to Wicked.

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am

Can you explain what exactly is the Wicked "on sale event"? Ticket prices lower?....(or like in NYC, a lottery)? Or the fist being able to buy tickets? I've wanted to see this show for a long long time, have stood in line in NYC, put my name in the lottery...can't afford $150- $460 for 3 tickets.
(Geez, I miss the days of SRO/standing room only/ tickets for B'way shows for starving artists!) Saw every show back then for $10. Just had to stand instead of having a seat to see the show! Yep, that was awhile ago, but at least, with Wicked in NYC, you have a chance to get orchestra tickets, saved for those of us who can't afford $100 seats, in a lottery, and which we are all willing to stand in line, cold, tired, whatever, and wait and see what happens. And the waiting crowd always cheered the lucky winners of the lottery! I guess the city of good neighbors does extend to NYC as well! It'd be nice if that would happen here!

"on sale event" just means the day tickets first go on sale, no discounts. The box office will sell them exclusively from 7 to 10, then they become available from Ticketmaster.
