Boston's Theatre Group's Broadway touring series at the Boston Opera House Brings The Book Of Mormon To The City

Boston's Theatre Group's Broadway touring series at the Boston Opera House will bring in mostly recent hit Broadway musicals that haven't played Boston before, including the irreverent blockbuster and winner of nine Tony Awards, "The Book of Mormon Boston Tickets."

Original Broadway cast members Rema Webb, left, Andrew Rannell and Josh Gad are shown in "The Book of Mormon Tickets Boston." The blockbuster musical is embarking on its first national tour.

"The Book of Mormon Boston," a current Broadway blockbuster, will come to the Boston Opera House on the musical's first national tour. It will be part of Boston Theatre Group's 2012-13 Broadway at the Boston Opera House series.

The recipient of nine 2011 Tony Awards, with one for best new musical, "The Book of Mormon" irreverently lampoons naive but good-hearted young Mormon missionaries sent to a war-torn, AIDS-afflicted African country.

Devised by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of TV's "South Park," along with "Avenue Q" co-creator Robert Lopez, the show is selling out on Broadway and the original cast album won a Grammy this year. It has also gained attention for its genial but pointed spoof of Mormonism, at a time when Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, a Mormon, is much in the news.

According to STG executive director Josh Labelle, "The tour is starting in Denver and on the day tickets went on sale there the demand was so high, the ticketing system shut down however Boston Tickets has a large selection with prices as low as $39."

Barenaked Ladies, Blues Traveler and Cracker bring Last Summer on Earth Tour to Boston

Barenaked Ladies will be joining forces with Blues Traveler, Cracker and Big Head Todd and the Monsters for Last Summer on Earth, a package tour kicking off this July in Toledo, Ohio with Barenaked Ladies Boston Tickets available now. The four bands will play more than 30 arenas and amphitheaters across North America through the middle of August.

"I love playing outside in the summertime," says Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson. "To travel and hang around with a bunch of bands, and get a chance to do some collaboration is part of the magic of a summer tour." The tour's ominous title is a nod to what could be a potentially dreadful economy for live music, and superstitions about the end of the world. "I'm a man of science, and therefore put zero stock in all of the disastrous predictions about the year 2012," says Robertson. "But just in case, I think everybody should come out and see one last great summer concert tour! It can't hurt, right? Here's hoping the Mayans just got tired of chiseling!"

Will Shaq Join The WWE Supershow in Boston?

With WWE Boston Tickets selling fast there is nno word yet on what's going on with WWE and Shaquille O'Neal. He keeps saying he will be at WrestleMania 28 but WWE's plans for Big Show indicate otherwise. Shaq was in talks with WWE to appear and sources indicate he was planned for the March 5th Boston RAW Supershow. If Shaq doesn't appear on that show or isn't hinted at in some way, he most likely won't be a part of WrestleMania.

- Right now the plan is to air the Hall of Fame inductions of Edge and the Four Horsemen on the USA Network.

While Yokozuna is still expected to be announced, it's now believed someone other than The Rock will be inducting him but that's not confirmed. Edge is scheduled to be inducted last and by Christian.

The Horsemen will be inducted by Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Dusty Rhodes. There was a push to get Dusty in on the induction because he is the one most associated with the Horsemen as big rivals in their heydays.

Edge has been given a 10 minute time limit on his speech and the Horsemen as a group have a 10 minute limit. WWE Supershow Boston Tickets are available via Greater Boston Tickets but are nearly sold out.

Chickenfoot Bring Spring Tour to Boston and Mohegan

Chickenfoot have unveiled dates for their “A Different Devil” Tour in support of their new record Chickenfoot III. The rock supergroup make their way to Massachusetts this spring and perform at Boston’s Orpheum Theatre on Wednesday, May 16. Chickenfoot Boston Tickets which range in price from $80 to $200, will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Boston Tickets. Black Stone Cherry will open the show.

Chickenfoot III, Chickenfoot’s second studio album, hit stores last September. It follows up the band’s self-titled and certified gold debut album in 2009. The band is comprised of singer Sammy Hagar, bassist Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani and drummer Chad Smith, who due to touring commitments with the Red Hit Chili Peppers will not participate in the upcoming trek. Instead, drummer Kenny Aronoff will be behind the kit for the upcoming tour.

“The Foot are road tested and ready to roll and can’t wait to play the new songs for the fans!” Hagar declared in a press release.

Satriani compared the writing process of Chickenfoot III to the debut album in an interview with Artist Direct last fall. “When I think back to that first album we did, we barely knew each other,” he said. “This time around…we had a history with each other. We’d done a few tours. We’d learned about each other a little more…it feels like we knew each other more, and we were able to bring better performances out of each other.”

The album’s creative 3D design packaging earned a Grammy Award nomination in the category of “Best Recording Package”.

Following the Chickenfoot Boston show, Chickenfoot will perform at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut on Saturday, May 19. Chickenfoot Tickets for the show will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Boston Tickets for $55.

Boston Tickets Breaking Summer Event Records Before Spring Starts

Meanwhile Cirque du soleil Michael Jackson the immortal Boston Tickets are close to selling more then these 4 events combined.

Michael's orginal three solo concert tours were the greatest entertainment events of all time.

Starting in 1987, the Bad World Tour featured 123 concerts in 15 countries. And, playing to 4.4 million fans and grossing over $125 million, was recognized as the biggest and most successful tour of all time! Cirque du Soleil Boston Tickets.

As we previously reported, Bruce Springsteen Boston Tickets and the E Street Band's Wrecking Ball Tour went on sale during the last week in January. The tour of course was planned to support Springsteen's newest album, Wrecking Ball, which will be released on March 6.

Wrecking Ball is the Boss' first album since 2009's chart topping Working on a Dream, and will also be the first Springsteen album without the signature tenor saxophone of Clarence Clemons. Clemons passed away in June of 2011 from complications of an earlier stroke. Emotions will be running high as Springsteen and the rest of the E Street Band hit the road for the first time without their old friend.

Another favorite Van Halen Boston Tickets is also gearing up to tour in 2012. The band is hitting the road to promote their new album, A Different Kind Of Truth, which was released this past Tuesday, February 7, 2012. A Different Kind of Truth is original lead singer David Lee Roth's first album with the band since the album 1984, so both fans and critics were eagerly awaiting the new disc's release.

Fans planning on checking out Van Halen in concert in 2012 can expect to see a great show with Diamond Dave and Eddie Van Halen tearing it up on stage. This Van Halen tour is to inspire a new generation of Rock fans.

Following the inking of a $120 million deal with Live Nation in 2007, Madonna hit the road for her comeback, the Drowned World Tour. The Drowned World Tour was Madonna's first tour in eight years, but lucky fans won't have to wait as long this time around to see the Queen of Pop live. Madonna Boston Tickets were announced this Tuesday, February 7, 2012, that she was kicking off a five continent tour in May.

Prior to her big announcement, Madonna performed her new single "Give Me All Your Luvin," during the Super Bowl XLVI half-time show, and it was enough to prove to critics that the fifty-one year-old can still rock a stadium. A new album tentatively titled MDNA is expected to drop sometime this spring, which will give fans just enough time to learn all the lyrics before the show.

Roger Waters Boston Tickets are also selling like mad though most of the North American shows will take place at indoor arenas, another outdoor gig is set for the cavernous Fenway Park, though it appears the outdoor stadium shows will feature "state of the art modifications transforming the arena production into magnificent outdoor events."

Madonna Boston Tickets and Lady Gaga Boston Tickets Proving Pop Royalty Owns The City

This year, the undisputed Queen of Pop, Madonna Boston Tickets, and her heir apparent, Lady Gaga Boston Tickets, are both set to launch world tours, which are highly anticipated by ticket brokers and fans alike.

Fresh off her successful Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, where she performed hits including "Vogue," "Music," and "Give Me All Your Luvin',"Madonna Tickets Boston has once again proven her appeal is still as strong as ever. With her new album "MDNA" set to be released this March, tickets to the Material Girl's 2012 world tour have already begun going on sale, with Madonna Boston tickets for the North American leg are already on sale.

According to Billboard.com, Madonna's tour is expected to have upwards of 90 dates, making it the longest tour of her storied career. Among the tours stops will be around 26 shows in both Europe and North America, as well as a stop in Australia where Madonna last performed nearly 20 years ago. Expectations for Madonna Boston ticket sales are high, as her last tour raked in $408 million over the course of 85 shows.

Also planning a tour for 2012 is Lady Gaga Tickets Boston . While she has yet to announce specific dates for her "Born This Way Ball" tour that is expected to run until 2013, Gaga has been slowly releasing information relevant to her tour. Recently, Gaga released a sketch detailing the stage setup for her new tour. The drawing seems to depict the stage as having a castle theme.

With the release of the stage setup, Gaga also announced plans for a "Monster Pit," which will be a general admission area in front of the stage reserved for fans who arrive the earliest and dress for the occasion. Gaga has also assured her massive fan base via Twitter that tickets for the Pit will not be sold at a higher price, and admission to the section comes with the chance to be chosen to appear on stage with Gaga during the concert.

As both Madonna and Gaga appeal to similar audiences, Gaga's choice to wait to announce her tour dates until after Madonna announced hers could very well be a clever marketing ploy, allowing Gaga to schedule her dates to not conflict with Madonna's, thus taking advantage of their overlap in fan base.

In the same vein, Gaga's gradual release of information regarding her tour has certainly heightened the media coverage and fan excitement surrounding it. The buzz will hopefully translate into ticket sales.

Both Gaga and Madonna have proven to be shrewd marketing geniuses throughout their careers, and it remains to be seen how their skill continues to play out in their respective upcoming tours

The Beach Boys Tour Comes to Boston this June 2012

The Beach Boys Tickets Boston have started to sell following a announced run of US dates for their reunion tour this April.

The legendary '60s band will play 37 shows across the States as part of their 50th anniversary celebrations and, with the band revealing their plans to play a 50-date international tour including Boston in December last year, more shows are expected to be announced in the future.

Founding members Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine played together for the first time in over 20 years at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles last Sunday (February 12). They played with touring members Bruce Johnston and David Marks and teamed up with Maroon 5 and Foster The People for a rendition of their classic hit 'Good Vibrations'.

The tour will kick off with a show at Arizona's Anselmo Valencia Amphitheatre and finish with a gig at Harvey's Lake Tahoe Amphitheatre in Nevada on July 15.

The Beach Boys first formed in 1961 and enjoyed huge success throughout the following decade.

Brian Wilson last performed with The Beach Boys during the making of their 1996 album 'Stars And Stripes Vol 1', and has toured as a solo artist since.

He hinted earlier this year that he wanted to reform with the surviving members. Two former founding members, Dennis and Carl Wilson, died in 1983 and 1998 respectively.

The Beach Boys Boston Tickets are currently for sale via Greater Boston Tickets for a Bank of America Pavilion Boston show scheduled for 6/26/2012 ranging from $65 to $200
