It’s been a great new experience for the men’s basketball team at LSU. Although the entire facility will not be complete until sometime in 2010, the LSU Tigers were excited to practice in their own brand new facility recently. When the construction is complete, there will be a new media room, new team dressing room, equipment facilities, training facilities and two practice gyms; the latter of which has already been finished and made available to the players recently. Although the LSU Tigers were not the first to use the new facilities (the women’s basketball team used them the previous weekend), they made good use of the 11,324 square foot gym which is an exact replica of the Maravich Center competition court.

Fans, coaches, staff and team members are optimistic that the new gyms will allow the team to create more focus and concentration on their game skills and build a longer repertoire of wins. Thus far, the LSU Tigers have won games against UL-Monroe, Indiana State, Western Kentucky and UL-Lafayette. Perhaps there’s no connection whatsoever, but all of the winning games have been played at the Maravich Center. By contrast, the two away games in the season tip-off against Connecticut and Arizona State were losses for the LSU Tigers. Connecticut beat the Tigers 81-55 and Arizona State dusted the LSU Tigers 71-52.

With plenty of games ahead in the 2009-2010 season and quite a few of the games scheduled at home, there are plenty of opportunities for the LSU Tigers to make this their best season ever. Once finals are complete, the LSU Tigers will return to the court for December games against Northwestern State, Southeastern Louisiana, Nicholls and Rice. The start of the Cougar Hardwood Classic marks the rest of the games in December for the LSU Tigers with games against Washington State and Xavier (Ohio).

Recognized officially as the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, it takes its name from Peter Press Maravich (23), all-century team member whose list of accomplishments for the LSU Tigers stretches a mile long but whose life ended suddenly in 1988. Affectionately referred to by most as simply Maravich Center, this two-level facility has been the home to many great games played by the LSU Tigers men’s basketball team.

The upper level has sections 304 through 337 designated as the student section. Sections 202, 203, 102, 103 and part of 104 are also set aside for students. So, when making your seating selections, be sure to keep this in mind. Ample seating throughout the rest of the entire venue offer excellent sites from every seat. Maravich Center is a spacious venue that takes every seat to the game for an experience watching the LSU Tigers heat up the court. If you haven’t take advantage of the opportunity to experience the LSU Tigers in motion, you owe it to yourself to get tickets to some of these great games held at Maravich Center.

As the LSU Tigers move into the season, there are 13 games scheduled at the Maravich Center and whether you want to attend all of these games or just a chosen one or two, there’s no question that great seats are still available to see the LSU Tigers take on opponents like Utah, Alabama, Florida, Auburn, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Georgia and McNeese State.

Now is the perfect time to score group seating in your ideal location and ensure that you don’t miss one single moment of the action as the LSU Tigers prepare to hit the new gym in practice and hone their skills for the upcoming games.

Ticket America has your LSU Tigers Mens Basketball Tickets but they wont be here forever so get your choice seats now! Students and fans alike can enjoy every exciting moment of the action that takes place at LSU Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

The New York Jets took home a win against the Buffalo Bills recently with a final score 19-13. They’ll be taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 13 and fans are optimistic that this will be another win for the New York Jets. The preseason was good to the New York Jets as they won games against New York (27-25) and Philadelphia (38-27). Critics may argue that on the flip side of their preseason games, the New York Jets also lost two games against St. Louis (20-23) and Baltimore (23-24); the latter of which was a very close game for both teams but not close enough for the Jets to take home the victory.

The regular season has been even more fascinating for the New York Jets from the start of the season with a win against Houston (24-7) to their last two winning games against Buffalo and Carolina (17-6). Remaining games for the regular season should be relatively interesting, to say the least with opponents like Atlanta, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Tampa Bay left to play. As the remaining games approach, the New York Jets will be taking the field without injured players Robert Turner (knee), Donald Strickland (concussion) and Dwight Lowery (ankle) who will definitely not play the rest of the season.

Also on the injured roster but a probable to play are members Eric Smith (back), Calvin pace (shoulder), Jim Leonhard (thumb), Mark Sanchez (knee), D’Brickashaw Ferguson (hamstring) and Shaun Ellis (knee). Fans may be most anxious to see Ellis (92) return to the field but are looking forward to seeing all able players display their respective talents in the game rather than on the bench.

Located at State Route 120 and State Route 3 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Giants Stadium is a part of the Meadowlands Sports Complex that is owned and operated by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. It is the third largest NFL complex in the country but also the ninth-oldest still in use. As a result, those who wish to experience Giants Stadium should plan to get tickets right away as the days of this venue are numbered and its demolition is planned for 2010 when a new Meadowlands Stadium will be opened.

Seating options at Giants Stadium, which is home to the New York Giants, New York Jets and New York Red Bulls, includes four different level options: Lower, Mezzanine, Upper Center and Upper Endzone. Gates A, B, C, D and the Stadium Club Entrance provide easy entrance from all sides to put you closer to your selected seating. Current seating capacity is 80,200; more than enough seating with excellent sites to please even the most discriminating fan with the perfect location.

Tailgating options are available for those who choose to get the party started in the parking lot before the game. Parking lots at Giants Stadium are open five hours prior to kickoff. For many fans, the tailgating experience is a tradition that is a must. Although open parking spaces should not be used to tailgate nor is tailgating permitted in the parking garage, it is still possible to throw the best tailgate parties in the world before the New York Jets hit the field to play.

Individual, half-season and season tickets are just a few of the choices available when it comes to attending a New York Jets home game. So whether you want to hang out in the Terrace Suites or nestle in close to the front row club seating, the choice is yours. With a limited number of games left to be played in the existing Giants Stadium, there’s never been a better time to get to one or more of the New York Jets games.

Ticket America has your New York Jets Tickets for all of the upcoming games. The existing Giants Stadiumwill be demolished in 2010, so its a great time to get seats before this historic venue is torn down!

World Wresting Entertainment (WWE) is a simulated sport that’s as real as it gets for many fans, who swear by the various wrestlers who participate in Raw, SmackDown, WWE Superstars Divas, WrestleMania, ECW and Hell in a Cell. The WWE community has been stunned and saddened by the recent death of Edward “Umaga” Fatu who died of a heart attack at the age of 36.

Founded in 1952, WWE was started by Roderick McMahon and Toots Mondt. Currently, Vince McMahon is the Chairman and CEO with family members Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Linda McMahon helping to run the show from every aspect of global media to creative development. WWE may seem like a lot of theatrics and loud talking but WWE represents the industry leaders when it comes to professional wrestling and sports entertainment with more than 560 employees (not including wrestlers) and revenue that exceeded $526 million dollars in 2008.

You may remember the fantastic publicity that Vince McMahon gained during the Monday night wrestling promotions where one person was the lucky recipient of a million dollars each week. Rating soared through the roof as eagerly anticipating fans and contest participants waited to see if they would be the winner of the million dollars. The WWE televised events are not the only way that you can get your major enjoyment from their particular brand of professional wrestling. There are many Internet and live investment as well as film, music and direct sales that take WWE to the next level.

No fan will argue to the contrary, however, that the best way to enjoy WWE is to get to see it live. Although it is a simulated sport, it is precisely this smack talking and antics in and around the ring that drives fans crazy and keeps them coming back for more time and again. From pay per view events where crowds pack venues and sell out tickets months before the actual event comes to town.

Many fans and wrestlers themselves will tell you that it is the extra action-packed confrontational style that adds more than a little umph to each performance where wrestlers are decked out in colorful, tight fitting costumes that show off every muscle. People of all ages gather at WWE events because they combine a talented and unique collection of theater, acting and wrestling. There’s no question that it requires knowledge of how to complete dives, jumps and throws but fans are often treated to action that goes outside the ring and includes eye popping visuals such as chair banging, window crashing and much more. And the good news is that no matter who gets hurt and how on national television, it’s all a part of the act that’s designed for your viewing enjoyment.

When WWE was first started, it was known as Capitol Wrestling Corporation. It was a different world when athletes took to the ring in locations like Madison Square Garden. Around 1963, the name was changed to the World Wide Wrestling Federation but this name would be changed again around 1979 when the organization became known as the World Wrestling Federation. At this time, Vince McMahon came on board and wrestling greats like Roddy Piper, Jesse Ventura, Andre the Giant, Iron Sheik, Ricky Steamboat and Hulk Hogan along with the idea of Wrestlemania took this particular brand of wrestling to a new level. In 2002, the current WWE name was adopted where there was some dispute about WWF, which is also used by an environmental organization that sued.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing WWE in person, you owe it to yourself to get tickets to one or more of these fantastic performances and experience what makes the crowds scream with delight as the professional wrestlers take it to the ring.

This is the heart pounding action that no other Sport compares to! Ticket America has your up close and personal WWE Tickets on sale now! Also check out their sports tickets.

If you’re a golf enthusiast, chances are you took to the television religiously this past October to watch the Presidents Cup 2009 on the screen. Perhaps you were fortunate enough to have golf tickets to witness the entire competition. If so you had complete opportunities to witness the sport of golfing at its finest. If you did not, let’s start with the Presidents Cup 2009 Team U.S.A. Although the current limelight on team member Tiger Woods is less than favorable with his personal problems, there is no question that as a part of the team, he was a most valuable player and one of only 2 team members who has competed in the Presidents Cup five previous times.

On hand were team captain Fred Couples, assistant captain Jay Haas and team members Woods, Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, Kenny Perry, Zach Johnson, Stewart Cink, Sean O’Hair, Jim Furyk, Anthony Kim, Justin Leonard, Lucas Glover and Hunter Mahan. The Presidents Cup 2009 International Team included captain Greg Norman, assistant captain Frank Nobilo and team members Geoff Ogilvy, Vijay Singh, Camilo Villegas, Retief Goosen, Ernie Els, Angel Cabrera, Mike Weir, Robert Allenby, Y.E. Yang, Tim Clark, Ryo Ishikawa and Adam Scott. Veteran golfer Singh brought participation experience with the Presidents Cup for seven previous years.

The Thursday Foursomes took to the greens with Kim/Mickelson versus Weir/Clark in Match 1, Mahan/O’Hair versus Scott/Els in Match 2, Glover/Cink versus Singy/Allenby in Match 3, Perry/Johnson versus Cabrera/Villegas in Match 4, Woods/Stricker versus Ogilvy/Ishikawa in Match 5 and Furyk/Leonard versus Goosen/Yang in Match 6. Match 7 through Match 12 was the Friday Four-Ball games and at the end of the day the U.S. Team led the way with 19-1/2 points. The Saturday Foursomes were held for Match 13 through Match 17. Also on Saturday Four-Ball games for matches through Match 22 were held.

The Sunday Singles pitted the skills of Mahan versus Villegas, Cink versus Scott, Leonard versus Weir, Kim versus Allenby, Stricker versus Ogilvy, O’Hair versus Els, Perry versus Ishikawa, Johnson versus Clark, Woods versus Yang, Glover versus Singh, Mickelson versus Goosen and Furyk versus Cabrera. At the end of the day, Woods lead the U.S. Team individual player’s scores by finishing off a perfect week. Close behind Woods with just one loss on the Four-Ball and one loss in the Foursomes was International team player Ogilvy.

Harding Park was the chosen location for the 2009 Presidents Cup games. Captain’s picks for the U.S. Team were Glover and Mahan. Captain’s picks for the International Team were Scott and Ishikawa. Plans have already been made for the 2011 Presidents Cup games, to be held at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. As for the 2009 Harding Park games, players and fans alike whom were on hand were treated to the best golfing on greens that are regarded by many as San Francisco’s finest.

Celebrity coach Michael Jordan was present to receive a standing ovation from the U.S. team at the closing ceremonies. Jordan gave an inspirational speech on Saturday night about teamwork in reference to the U.S. team’s ability to win six matches outright and score seven points in the Singles. Of some of the “Best” recognitions were Ishikawa for best rookie. Ishikawa, who just turned 18, showed no fear against seasoned players like Perry, who is 49.

Woods and Stricker were voted best partners and received best match recognition for Woods’ 23-foot birdie on the 17th hole against Weir and Clark. Woods was also acknowledged for best shot for his second shot in Saturday’s Foursomes at the 18th hole par-5 when he landed nine feet for a conceded eagle more than 230 yards out.

This American rock band got its start in 1999 in Nashville , Tennessee and is perhaps one of the only all boy, all brothers bands (we won’t name one of the others) in the country and around the world. Not that the concept of all brothers and all boys is new because it isn’t but Kings of Leon isn’t your everyday white boy band, not by a long shot. Brothers Anthony Followill, Ivan Followill, Michael Followill and cousin Cameron Followill are the members of Kings of Leon. If those names don’t sound familiar, it’s because all of the members use their middle names on stage so you may know them as Caleb, Nathan, Jared and Matthew.

At the start, Kings of Leon was most recognized for their southern rock infused blues musical sound that had an upbeat tone to it. Over time, however Kings of Leon has continued to expand their signature sound to include a host of different genres. The result has been a more alternative sound that’s recognized as alternative rock, southern rock or garage rock revival in various circles of fans of this kind of music.

With a Pentecostal background, for many it didn’t come as a surprise that their first record was entitled Holy Roller Novocaine EP, released in February, 2003. It was the precursor to their debut album Youth and Young Manhood, which received a 4 out of 5 star rating from Rolling Stone magazine. Their second album Aha Shake Heartbreak was released in the U.S. in 2005 and featured hits like The Bucket, King of the Rodeo and Four Kicks. Fame wasn’t a stranger to Kings of Leon as they released their third album Because of the Times. Taper Jean Girl was tapped to be in the movies Disturbia and Cloverfield, adding more appreciation for Kings of Leon and their signature sounds and foot-stomping beats.

Holding four Grammy nominations on the table for Kings of Leon now and their recent release of Live at the O2: London, there’s plenty of buzz going on around this band. If you didn’t get to their concerts recently, there will be more opportunities to enjoy Kings of Leon in the near future. In the meantime, those who were fortunate enough to get tickets to their recent appearances were treated to a musical extravaganza that most will never forget.

Getting a copy of Live at the O2: London that’s recently been released is, for many, the next best thing to seeing Kings of London live and in person. The crystal clear sound and beautiful picture of blu ray. If you don’t have this exciting performance set by Kings of Leon yet, you owe it to yourself to get your hands on one of these DVDs before they’re all sold out. This is a band that brings vocals, music, lyrics and more to the stage in an outstanding manner every time the start to sing. Whether you like to kick back in your seat or enjoy a few steps out of your seat, there’s something for everyone and Kings of Leon moves you to find your groove and get into it.

This handsome group of family members has graced the pages of Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Rockstar and Uomo Vogue with thought-provoking interviews and hot pictures that keep the young ladies smiling. With more music on the horizon and plans for additional tours after the holidays, there’s never been a better time to get to know Kings of Leon and enjoy the sounds of music this band is putting into the music industry. You’ll be glad that you did.

Ticket America has your Kings of Leon Tickets with great seating choices for every upcoming concert. Getting these great Concert Tickets is a breeze with Ticket America!

The Philadelphia Eagles took home a win against Washington on November 29 with a final score of 27-24. It was a close game, but when the final buzzer rang, the Philadelphia Eagles were ahead three points and walked away winners. The next game is against the Atlanta Falcons and promises to be another exciting opportunity to see the Philadelphia Eagles in action.

Critics of this hardworking team may be quick to point out that the 2009 season has not been the best for the Philadelphia Eagles. They opened the preseason with a loss against the Patriots and followed it with another loss against the Colts. A third loss against the Jets made their win against the Jaguars the only one of the preseason. As the regular season began, the Philadelphia Eagles set about making a winning streak but periodic losses seemed to continue to plague the team. There’s no argument from critics, fans and even the team themselves that the loss to the Saints on September 20 was a deep wound where the Philadelphia Eagles suffered through 22 points as the Saints made more than twice as many points.

Perhaps a great deal of controversy surrounds player Michael Vick but there’s more to a team than one member’s past and with supportive and optimistic fans along with knowledgeable staff behind them, the Philadelphia Eagles can approach each of the remaining games in the season with anticipation of many more opportunities to do what they do best: throw the ball and play some really good football. For certain, this team has some great offensive players and coaches but they need to work hard on staying away from the penalties. There are those who focus on the stat sheets when they look at the Philadelphia Eagles and others who look at the sheer force and raw power of the players as they come to the field. This season, there’s a clear difference between the two.

Lincoln Financial Field is the location where all of the home games are played by the Philadelphia Eagles. It was decided that the team would benefit from a new stadium when they were purchased by Jeffrey Lurie in 1994 and plans were set about to begin building Lincoln Financial Field. Today, there are many excellent sites and fantastic amenities for every visitor who comes to this world class stadium. Whether you are planning to attend for football, entertainment or another sports venue, you will find that there is no other stadium in the world that quite compares to Lincoln Financial Field.

There’s the Pepsi Gate, SCA Club & Suite Entry, West Club & Suite Entry, West Gate and Comcast Gate, each with its own particular entry that provides the best way to get to specific seating in the area. Located at the corner of Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, there are many seating options designed to suit even the most discriminating patron to Lincoln Financial Field. On the 100 Level, which is surrounded by the main concourse, there are many amenities to choose from as you enter the stadium and all during your game day festivities. Family restrooms, ATMs and enough concessions to ensure that you get what you want to eat, ranging from a famous Philly steak and cheese option to many other great tasting delights.

Those who enjoy seating that’s ample and spacious can choose from the 200 Level where there are great sites and still more eateries to choose from. The 200 Level is easily accessible from several gated entries and forms nearly a complete circle around Lincoln Financial Field so that you can have the perfect seating option on virtually any side of the stadium.

Now is the perfect time to get your Philadelphia Eagles Tickets while you can still chose from some of the best seats in the house. Ticket America has your choices. Visiting Lincoln Financial Field provides you with an opportunity to experience a world class stadium and enjoy fantastic game day amenities.

Also known as The Kings of Bachata, K.O.B., Aventura is a Bachata music group that got its start back in 1994. The members of Aventura are Anthony “Romeo” Santos, Lenny Santos, Henry Santos Jeter and Max Santos. In additional to Bachata music, Aventura is recognized for performing R&B and Reggaeton genres of music as well. To date, Aventura has sold more than one million albums featuring hits like Obsesion, All Up 2 You, La Boda, Los Infeles, Dile Al Amor, Por Un Segundo, Un Beso, Mi Corazoncito, Ella y Yo, Su Veneno and El Perdedor.

Unlike many new bands who start out with the intention of building popularity through the ranks of the general public, Aventura made their claim to fame by being true to family and friends. Group leader Anthony Santos was born and raised in the Bronx and grew up listening to many of the popular bachateros like Teodoro Reyes, Raulin Rodriguez, Blas Duran and Joe Veras. Combining their love of the music and family and sharing their interest in performing, Aventura first began performing for local young people and their friends. This is how Aventura gained momentum as well as popularity.

Aventura released their first studio album entitled Generation Next in 1999. It featured Cuando Volveras, their only hit single from the album at first. We Broke the Rules, their second album, was released in 2002. Their hit Obsesion would take them to the top of the charts around the world. Just a year later in 2003, Love & Hate, their third album was released. A year later, in 2004, the hit Hermanita put Aventura on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks list. In 2005, God’s Project was released and a year later, K.O.B. Live.

There has been no stopping Aventura ever since then. In 2009, they released The Last which made it to the top spot on Hot Latin Tracks. In October, Aventura joined the Hispanic Heritage celebration given by President Barack Obama. Aventura performed with great entertainers such as Marc Anthony, Gloria Estafan, Jennifer Lopez, Comedian George Lopez and a host of others. One thing that has set Aventura apart from other bands is that they have created their own unique style that infuses reggaeton, hip hop and R&B into a completely original style of bachata that includes both English and Spanish in the lyrics.

The Last The Tour is definitely proof of the success that Aventura is encountering at every turn. In November alone, Aventura has performed repeatedly to sold out audiences of adoring fans who have leaped at the opportunity to experience this exciting group live and in person. Starting in Chicago on November 20, every concert from that point through November 28 has sold out completely. This is, in no small part, a testament to the unique sound and powerful lyrics that Aventura brings to the stage.

The Last The Tour will continue through February, 2010 with appearances scheduled for Toyota Center in Houston (Texas), The Joint Hard Rock Café in Las Vegas (Nevada), Jobing Arena in Glendale (Arizona), San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego (California), HP Pavillion in San Jose (California), Staples Center in Los Angeles (California), Amway Arena in Orlando (Florida), American Airlines Arena in Miami (Florida), Madison Square Garden in New York (New York), Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and rounding back to Madison Square Garden on February 1, 2010 to close out the tour.

Already, appearances for December 15, January 20 and January 21 are completely sold out at scheduled locations. If you haven’t experienced the excitement of Aventura live and in person, you owe it to yourself to get your hands on some of these tickets today!

If you’re a fan, you already know that James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo are the current members of the smash hits band Metallica. Did you know that former members included Ron McGovney, Dave Mustaine, Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted. Now you do. Metallica has been delighting audiences since 1981 when this heavy metal band first formed in Los Angeles, California. Also recognized for their skills in thrash metal, hard rock and speed metal, Metallica got its start when Ulrich posted an advertisement in his local paper.

Whether you appreciate the group most for their earlier releases that included aggressive tempos and fast instrumentals or are more of a fan of their newer releases, there’s no question that Metallica has played their way to the top in the underground music community as well has hitting the top of the charts with their 1991 self-titled album. Their prior album Master of Puppets had already thrust Metallica into the limelight in 1986 and received critical acclaim as one of the most influential heavy thrash metal albums.

To date, Metallica has won nine Grammy Awards. This successful band has sold more than 100 million records around the world with the release of their album Death Magnetic. With two live albums, nine studio albums, forty-five singles, two EPs and twenty-four music videos, Metallica has shined in the star light of having five consecutive albums to make their debut at number one on Billboard 200. Tragedy struck Metallica when Burton was killed in a freak bus accident where other members of the band only sustained minor injuries. It was a devastating blow but after Burton’s family gave their blessings, approximately 40 people tried out as a replacement before newcomer Newsted joined the band.

In May, 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. By this time, Newsted had left the band and been replaced by Trujillo. Both Newsted and Trujillo performed on stage and Burton’s father was on hand to receive this prestigious award in his son’s honor. In November, 2009, Metallica was on hand to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s two-night series of concerts that were held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

True to the excitement that Metallica always creates at a concert, the band performed Sweet Jane with Lou Reed, All Day and All of the Night with Ray Davies, Iron man/Paranoid with Ozzy Osborne and outstanding renditions of For Whom the Bells Toll and Enter Sandman. HBO was on hand to record every step of the journey with Metallica for this fantastic event so you can expect the program to air on cable.

Currently, the World Magnet Tour lives up to its name in every sense of the word. Since January, Metallica has performed to sold out crowds across the United States and around the world. From the first concert, which was performed on January 12 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to their recent November 15 performances at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York fans everywhere have been snatching up tickets to see and hear this band perform live.

The World Magnet Tour continues through the end of 2009 with many venues already sold out for shows scheduled at Mandalay Bay in Vegas, Idaho Center in Boise, ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Honda Center in Anaheim and HP Pavilion in San Jose. With some much deserved time off for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, fans can expect Metallica to return to the tour circuit on January 19, 2010 when they’ll be performing at Estadio San Marcos in Lima, Peru. From there, it’s no stopping Metallica as they venture to Santiago (Chile), Porto Alegre (Brazil), Guadalajara and Monterrey (Mexico), Guatemala City (Guatemala), San Jose (Costa Rica), Panama City (Panama), Bogota (Columbia), Caracas (Venezula), San Juan (Puerto Rick), Oslo (Norway), Riga (Latvia), Vilnius (Lithuania), Moscow (Russia) and Belfast (N. Ireland).

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.
