Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark 2012 Tickets

16th January 2012 | Category: Theater

If you want to go to an all new different musical, the best thing to go to is to check out Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark that is considered as a rock musical with music and lyrics by Bono of U2 and The Edge. The upbeat heavy with guitars and drums songs will keep you awake all throughout the show. It assures that you won’t be listening to those beautiful opera choruses that sometimes also function as a lullaby, especially if it’s not really your type and you just got dragged down by your classical girlfriend. Maybe it is time to check out something new and something action packed you would only expect to see on the silver screen.

Spider-Man, as most of us probably know it, is a story about a young man bitten by a spider and turns into a superhero. It was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and was published by Marvel originally as a comic book then it turned into a movie with many sequels. Because of its critically acclaimed success, Spider-Man could be also found in the Broadway. Like in the movies and comic book, it tells the story of how Peter Parker fell in love with Mary Jane and how he battled with his nemesis, the evil Green Goblin. It is very similar to the story of the 2002 film, so if you have watched it, you know what to expect in the aspect of the story, however, there’s more to expect in Broadway.

Spider-Man is considered to be the most expensive Broadway production in history and it also has the longest running preview period in history (182 preview performances). Aside from this, many critics said that Spider-Man “has effectively distanced it from its peers—and caused some confusion when it comes time to describe the show.” This is due to the nature of the songs and the scenes that is totally different to the shows that are shown in Broadway. One has described it as “elements of rock and roll, elements of circus, elements of opera, and of musical theater”.

The scenes are very complicated too and unusual. The production was described during its new release as the most technically complex show ever on Broadway, with 27 aerial sequences of characters flying and engaging in combat. Not only do the characters do high-flying stunts, but many objects are flying as well to put the audience in the middle of the action.

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is clearly not your usual Broadway production and if you are up to something different, something amusing and something cool, this show is a must see. Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark tickets are sold in many ticket outlets and can be bought cheaply over the internet. If you want to experience this new Spider-Man, make sure to book your tickets early at TicketCenter, the best stop for all your ticketing needs.

The Addams Family Musical – 2012 Tickets

12th January 2012 | Category: Theater

The Addams Family used to fill up my kiddie mornings watching cartoons while eating my daily breakfast cereal fix. It wasn’t really the best show during the mornings and my mother would get annoyed because she would rather watch the morning news. But the show was really amusing with a bit of a scary twist which made it more unique. Imagine turning that show into a musical, orchestra playing, and loud organ tunes bouncing on the walls making the hair on the back of your neck stand. It’s true that they every member of the family is weird, but they make up a wonderful and loving family. With all the grime and dismembered parts of the body found in their house, they live as normal as they normal for them could be, for that, to each his own.

The Addams Family characters are created by Charles Addams, a gag cartoons featuring an American ghoulish family with fascination for all things macabre. There are many other adaptations of the show including movies and television shows. However, the musical is made to be heavily inspired by the cartoon series among the other adaptations.

The Addams Family Musical is touring around North America, singing about their devilishly delightful life. This macabre musical comedy is created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, Drama Desk Award winner Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), choreographer Sergio Trujillo, and Olivier Award-winning director/designers Phelim McDermott &Julian Crouch with production supervision by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks.

The plot surrounds around the princess of darkness, Wednesday Addams falling in love with sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. She tells her father, Gomez about it but begs him not to tell her mother, Morticia anything. All the things you won’t expect will happen on that fateful night when they host a dinner for Wednesday’s boyfriend and his parents.

Laugh a lot, be mortified and fall in love with this exciting new musical. The play is divided into two acts that surrounds around the family meet-up in the old scary mansion. The staging of the mansion is created so that it looks iconic as the family itself and they did not just create a clichéd Halloween house but instead they made “a truly living character as the house pieces itself together before our eyes. It is an unsettling place, where no room ever quite seems the same twice.”
