As everyone knows, Wicked is one of the most popular musicals in the world at the moment. Even people who have seen one of the international versions of the show come out of the show with raving reviews. In its first year, it won 3 Tony Awards, having been nominated for 10 of them in 2003. The songs were written by Stephen Schwartz and the script was written by Winnie Holzman. It’s going to be a good year for the show, because it’s not just in New York now. Tickets for Wicked in several smaller cities all across the country (and the world!) can be purchased from Vivid Seats. If you don’t already know, this show tells the story of Elphaba, the woman who became the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz. She is intelligent, but misunderstood in her life. Her green skin and the nickname she ends up getting put her in a very difficult position in the community. The show chronicles her relationship with Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. They have badly clashing personalities and they battle it out about everything, from little things in their lives to rivalry in love. The audiences come to understand how she became “wicked.” It is one of the best musicals in quality too! No matter where you see it, the directors have assembled an all-star cast to play these classic roles onstage. Ever since its debut in October 2003, people have been talking about this show and no other show has been able to hold a candle to them. You have an amazing chance to see a fun show! Make sure you get your ticket and enjoy a great musical!

One of the most popular bands right now is Coldplay. It’s been more than a year since Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends first appeared on shelves at your local record store and it’s still one of the most frequently played albums on the radio. You can identify the song "Viva La Vida" all over each day; even when you’re just in a store, they might well play it on the intercom for you. And it’s no wonder. It’s one of the best songs out there right now. Coldplay’s music has taken a bit of a turn in recent years, from being more high pitched and bright into a darker and more lyrical sound. You can easily see this in their newer album, which is very different from the others. The others make up a trilogy of sorts, including Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head, and X&Y. All of these albums were well received by audience and critics alike. But Viva La Vida has brought even more fans into the fold.

During the current Coldplay concert tour, you can expect them to play mainly songs from the new album. They will also play some favorites from their previous work. According to many people, their concerts have been outstanding and very entertaining. Make sure that you take the chance to see one of these shows in person!

When you saw the Phillies win the World Series last season, you were probably surprised. Almost everyone was! The Phillies are the team that took a long time to finally win a championship, having come close several times over the years. Many teams disband after winning a championship, but not the Philadelphia Phillies! They are the team that is still winning a lot of games and look like they will be able to take the NL Eastern division. They have some tough competition though, since both the Mets and the Marlins are dangerous teams in the same division. This year is looking like one of their best, with Raul Ibanez leading the way in batting average (.312) and home runs (22) at the midway point in the season. Moyer is leading the way with the pitchers, having already won 6 games with 50 strikeouts. This 39-36 team is about to start really performing well. The Phillies game schedule has them playing great games almost everyday! Their relative quiet at the beginning of the season will give way and show the strong team that they actually are! Can they repeat their championship in 2009? How will they perform against their division rivals? When you order Phillies baseball tickets from Vivid Seats, you’ll get a great deal and see one of the best teams in the league this year!
