Cats Tickets – Purring Into A Theater Near You This Year
Currently running at Los Angeles’ historic Pantages Theater, Cats will close in late March 2010 after a month of performances only to open again in Boise, Idaho and Boston, Mass. by April. Recently celebrating its 27th anniversary, this award-winning play is doing more than just entertaining audiences all over the globe – it’s helping to make a difference, too, in the world of felines.
With a name like “Cats,” it seems fitting that this Tony Award-winning musical would adopt a philanthropic program that has to deal with the critter its story follows. In Seattle, the first 50 people who adopt a cat this March will get two free tickets to the March 31 performance of the show when it performs at the Comcast Arena in Everett. If you already have cats of your own but still want to celebrate one of Broadway’s longest-running shows, pick up Cats tickets today from http://www.stubhub.com.
Apart from hitting Boise this year, for just one week this internationally respected and revolutionary show will visit Boston’s Colonial Theater from April 13-18. The T.S. Eliot play, adapted for the stage with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, picked up the 1983 Best Musical Award at the Tony Awards, as well as Best Book of a Musical, Best Lighting and Best Costumes. The current national production is the only North American run performance sanctioned by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the famous English composer who has had his hand in everything from Sunset Boulevard to Jesus Christ Superstar, The Phantom of the Opera and Evita.
Cats initially found success as a West End production and eventually turned into an international hit, carrying the tune as the first British play to invade Broadway. Its actors, who play cats dressed in full feline motif, must truly be triple threats, offering up the best dancing, acting and singing skills. Typically robed in full spandex costumes, the show’s characters gather yearly to decide which cat will be reborn, and the final decision is made by Old Deuteronomy.
The play is most likely recognized for the Webber hit “Memory,” which is sung by the lead female Grizabella the Glamour Cat. “[Webber's music] has that certain sound to it that’s undeniable and very recognizable,” Arizona Broadway Theater’s Adam Berger said to Your West Valley. Berger, who has been a fan of the Webber production since he first saw it at age 12, brought the show to Arizona in February 2010, acting as the show’s musical director. The success, even in its 27th year of national tours, is unprecedented – nearly every show has sold out since opening two months ago.
The national tour, which will continue to run through the summer and beyond, is produced by CATS-Eye, LLC. The original direction was done by Trevor Nunn with choreography by Gillian Lynne, and is based loosely on Eliot’s “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.” The show first opened at the New London Theater in the West End in May 1981, moving to Broadway in October 1982 after closing in Britain and earning the title of longest running show in British theater with over 3,000 performances. Currently celebrating 27 years of touring, the show has visited five continents and 26 countries and has been viewed by more than eight and a half million fans.
‘Going the Distance’ – Guidance for Long Distance Relationship!
Challenging and difficult, though they may not be what we want to hear, are the words that best describe long distance relationships. However, that the words are challenging and difficult but not impossible. This is what “Going the Distance”, a romantic comedy flick, will explore the insides of a long distance relationship. The movie is centered with Drew Barrymore who plays Erin, a late bloomer in life due to a past disastrous relationship, who is interning in New York City for the summer and Justin Long who plays Garret, a clueless man-boy who never seems to get it right when it comes to relationships. They meet in a completely relatable way, at a bar over a beer and an arcade game. Then begins a cute love story, which is totally practical and filled with loads of humor. But the main flaw is that Erin has to return back to San Francisco to complete her graduation, so the couple decides to try the dreaded long distance relationship. What this movie does try to do is, to present an honest look at the trials and tribulations of long distance relationships; from loneliness, lack of sex, a phone sex experience, texting love messages and finally the question of whether long distance relationships really work. Technology can help and hinder long distance relationships by using Skype, webcam, mobile phones, etc and can stay in touch all day all night. Some couples are able to make it work. Some would say that the best part of long distance relationships is the excited reunions. It helps to make the relationship spicier when the two see each other after being miles apart for so long.

Nuggets vs. Bucks
This time of year always is tough because we cannot buy football tickets or buy baseball tickets. The tickets to buy for this Wednesday are at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee , Wisconsin . This time of year is for men’s college basketball. The public workers of Wisconsin are in a bitter fight with Republican Scott Walker to maintain their collective bargaining rights. Several Green Bay Packers have shown up to Madison in support of their fans. “As a publicly owned team we wouldn’t have been able to win the Super Bowl without the support of our fans,” reads a statement signed by seven current and former players. The Milwaukee Bucks will give maximum effort tonight in support of their fans.
The trade deadline is near and Denver still has Melo on their team. They might trade Carmelo Anthony before game time or even during the game knowing the Nuggets resentment for him. Our company’s selection is the Milwaukee Bucks -1 point. Msn reported a source from the players union saying, “It is the same dedication of our public workers every day that makes Wisconsin run. They are the teachers, nurses and childcare workers who take care of our families and us. But now in an unprecedented political attack Governor Walker is trying to take away their right to have a voice and bargain at work.” We could not of said it better ourselves. Can you think of a better way of thanking your fans than winning a home game for them? The Nuggets are ready to unload Carmelo to the New Jersey Nets any second now.
