Ticket America Has Your Wicked Tickets
Sunday, February 7, 2010

Here is a new musical that has taken Broadway by storm. Wicked, The Untold Story of The Witches of Oz gives new life to what has been the traditional story of the Wizard of Oz and takes a look at the witches Glenda The Good Witch and the Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West long before they became the famed characters who met Dorothy. Academy award winner Stephen Schwartz (The Prince of Egypt and Pocahontas) wrote the lyrics and created the music for this modern day new spin on the classic story about Dorothy and her little dog Toto.

This isn't the same story hashed over though and it's being met with rave reviews from many visitors who are enjoying this musical that is based on the story by Gregory Maguire that has become a best-selling novel. The award-winning contributions don't stop there though. Tony Award winner Wayne Cliento (How to Succeed..., Aida, The Who's Tommy) is responsible for the musical staging. Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Glengarry Glen Ross, Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, Take Me Out) is the director of Wicked. Although the show is not intended for children under 4 and not recommended for children under 8, Wicked is an excellent musical that lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Wicked has already won several awards for Outstanding Musical, Outstanding Book of a Musical, Outstanding Lyrics and Outstanding Orchestrations and continues to delight audiences around the country and the world. First opened in 2003 at the San Francisco tryout, Wicked has been going strong ever since in famous theaters around the world and on national tours. Visitors to this exciting musical can listen closely and hear some references to the 1939 original version of The Wizard of Oz in the back story, tying this new story line in very effectively.

When Wicked went on tour in 2005, the first week in July, it grossed nearly $1,500,000. The Ford Center for the Performing Arts Oriental Theatre was the location for this fantastic opening and many good reviews were to follow as Wicked toured to Universal Studios (Japan), West End-London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Stuttgart, Melbourne, San Francisco, Sydney and Osaka.

With a second national tour that started this year on June, Wicked continues to delight audiences around the world and has more performances scheduled for at least Oberhausen in June, 2010. In Sydney this year in September, many of the Melbourne cast returned and put Wicked in the running for nearly breaking the record for the highest grossing musical ever held at Capitol Theatre. The 2010 performances will begin March 17, 2010 in Oberhausen, Germany at the Metronom Theater Centro. It will be a transfer of the Stuttgart production but casting has not been decided at this point.

For those who have already had the pleasure of seeing Wicked at least once, you know that this great musical is one you can see time and again and it won't get old. There is also a cast recording of the original Broadway production. Universal Music released this original album in December, 2003 and features all of the songs performed on stage except "The Wicked Witch of the East". If you haven't had the opportunity to see Wicked live yet, your chance may come soon at one of the finest theaters in your area. You owe it to yourself to check out Wicked and see what all of the great reviews are about.

If you've been looking for a new spin on an old classic that is as timeless as baseball and apple pie, then you want to get tickets to see Wicked!

The modern day tale of two witches from the Wizard of Oz is the story of Wicked and Ticket America has your Wicked Tickets. There are very few shows that offer Theater Tickets youll thoroughly enough from start to finish like Wicked.

Pittsburgh Steelers Tickets And Seating Chart

You don't have to be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers Official Fan Club or have their Official Steelers Toolbar to know that these reigning Super Bowl champions are a force to be reckoned with. Just ask the Ravens who snuck in a win against their AFC North rivals but suffered five sacks in the second half of their quarterback, Joe Flacco. This clearly demonstrates the power, the prowess and the ability of the Pittsburgh Steelers to take a man down again and again.

The month of December promises to be a busy one for the Pittsburgh Steelers both on and off the playing field. Autograph signings by Chris Hoke, Tyrone Carter and Mewelde Moore will take place on December 1, 15 and 18 respectively. December 3 is the 65 Roses Sports Auction. The Pittsburgh Steelers Toys for Tots Drive is December 6. December 7 is the Carson Scholars Fund Auction. On December 8, Pittsburgh Steelers players will host a toy drive. Dazzle & Denim for Sickle Cell will be on December 14. A book reading by Jerome Bettis will be on December 17 and Deans Women's 202 Event is scheduled for December 18.

Sunday's loss to the Ravens marks something of an unexpected losing streak for these fantastic football players. Games against the Bengals and Chiefs were also losses for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Taking a glimpse back to the start of the 2009 season for the team, there's no question that winning has been the objective and the outcome for the majority of the games whether at home or away. The team has a few days to bolster up defenses and get mindsets back on the winning track. On December 6, the Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Raiders at home at 1 p.m. Fans, coaches, staff and members themselves are certainly hoping to see the Pittsburgh Steeler go home a winner from this game and the remainders for the season.

Sunday's game and all home games are played at Heinz Field. This horseshoe shaped stadium has an open south end with its axis the same as Point State Park. There are club lounges on the west and east sidelines and the north end zone. The first two aforementioned lounges have beverage kiosks, a video wall, specialty food stands and a three-story atrium space; all perfect to take in a football game or convert for small or large banquet gathering. The seating capacity of Heinz Field is 65,050 with 7,300 additional seating options in club areas and 1,544 seats in 129 luxury suites.

There are 24 women's, 24 men's and 8 family restrooms, 47 concession stands, 15 novelty stands and 7 team stores at Heinz Field, offering a little bit of something for everyone; even those with the most discriminating of tastes. When you come to Heinz Field to enjoy a Pittsburgh Steelers game, gone are the days of plain old football with a hotdog, unless that's how you like it. This venue has 400 televisions that are linked to the main scoreboard, 2 video walls and a scoreboard video display that expands to an enormous 96 feet by 27 feet.

The playing surface is natural grass; 2.04 acres of it to be precise and for those who want to be close enough to the action to hear the helmets crunch, the sideline is just 60 feet from the first row spectator seats. Prefer the end zone location to enjoy the game? If so, the first row spectator seats are just 25 feet away! If you've never enjoyed a live football game with the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field, there's still time this season to get in on the action.

Theres still time to get your Pittsburgh Steelers Tickets. These Super Bowl champions are a pleasure to watch at Heinz Field where you cant get any closer to the live action!
