Wicked to return to St. Louis’ Fox Theatre

Wicked tickets are perennial hot sellers, with the show being one of the most amazing Broadway successes of the past decade and earning major attention at theaters across the country. Just one of those is the St. Louis Fox Theatre, which St. Louis Today reports will be seeing yet another run of the Wizard of Oz-based musical in the near future.

It should be noted that Wicked has a pretty fruitful history at the Fox as it is. The article notes it broke box office records there three times and will be returning on Dec. 12, 2012 and run until Jan. 6, 2013.

“It will be the fourth time the musical has played the Fox, and the first time that it will not be part of the Broadway subscription series. That means more seats will be available for nonsubscribers,” the article says. It adds a quote from the Fox’s producer, Kristin Caskey, who says, “We are thrilled that St. Louis can ring in the 2012 holidays with ‘Wicked,’” a show she calls “the preeminent American musical.”

If you’re looking for tickets, make sure you check StubHub first.

Billy Elliot dances on to Madison’s Overture ...

You don’t have to travel all the way to New York to get Billy Elliot tickets. The Tony-winning show is heading out to the Mid-West, with a string of tour dates scheduled for Madison, Wisconsin’s Overture Center.

According to NBC 15.com, the show will have an eight-date run at the Overture Center’s Overture Hall July 10 – 15 in 2012. That seems like a rather long time to wait, but for fans who are hoping to see the fun musical, it will be very satisfying. Originally, the show was going to run from Sept. 21 to Oct. 2. However, the show’s producers have restructured the touring schedule, so Billy Elliot will be moving around to different dates.

No matter when it is, you can bet you’ll be able to find Billy Elliot tickets on StubHub. The show is one of the most popular musicals on Broadway, about a boy growing up in a working class town who decides to follow his heart’s passion and learn ballet. Needless to say, his father is not amused with this new hobby, which he doesn’t consider appropriately masculine.

Make sure you check out the show when it comes to your town!

Book of Mormon’s Robert Lopez talks creative ...

So you’ve purchased Book of Mormon tickets on StubHub, enjoyed the show and want to know more about how something so singularly awesome was created. Let us direct you to Broadway.com, where there’s a nice little interview up with Robert Lopez, co-creator of the production, who shares a list of facts about his writing process.

Lopez is refreshingly honest, admitting just how difficult it is to get going on a new project: “I basically never feel like writing. I am a happy-go-lucky, relaxed, fun-seeking kind of person. And working disturbs that, because it puts me in a state of anxiety. So I usually get upset in the first 10 minutes of working with someone. Sometimes it’s getting sullen or silent or angry. Sometimes I just kid around and put down the project in a passive-aggressive way. I’m sure that’s never fun for my collaborators to deal with. But it always happens!”

Lopez should know that all the fans of The Book of Mormon are grateful he managed to pull through the process every time. Want to appreciate his work further? Get yourself tickets on StubHub.
