I, for one, have been hearing great things about this musical, which has a run iin NYC last year during the holiday season.  My friends who saw it loved how this musical was part song and part comedy.  They never thought they would love this Broadway musical as much as they did.  And, they are all set to see it, as am I, when the musical makes a stop in Worcester, MA at the Hanover Theatre next month.  This is only holiday performance you will not want to miss.  So, get your tickets now!

More About the Show:

"ELF is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, discover his true identity, and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF.
 

The New York Times says that ELF is “SPLASHY, PEPPY, SUGAR-SPRINKLED HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT!”USA Today calls ELF, “ENDEARINGLY GOOFY!” Variety proclaims, “ELF is happy enough for families, savvy enough for city kids and plenty smart for adults!”
 

Based on the beloved 2003 New Line Cinema hit, ELF features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (The Wedding Singer), with a book by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone)."

Tickets on Sale Now!! -- LUMA -- Making a Stop at the Hanover Theatre in Worcester, MA on May 2nd at 7PM -- #Win a Family 4 Pack

Disclosure:  I was given complimentary tickets for my family, in exchange for promoting and hosting a giveaway on my blog and social media sites.  All views shared are mine and mine alone.

“Pure utter beauty in all it’s philosophical and metaphorical wonder,” raves NPR Radio.

The other day I shared a post about the upcoming family-friendly show, LUMA that will be visiting the Jorgensen Center for Performing Arts at UConn University in Storrs, CT.  Wanting to give readers who live in MA, NH and points north of CT, I am excited to offer you 4 tickets to the same show, which will be stopping at the Hanover Theatre in Worcester, MA on May 2nd at 7PM.

Here is more information about this great show, not to be missed...

LUMA plunges the audience into a darkened space where a tapestry of illuminated illusions fills the stage. With high and low technology, the work of shadowed performers utilize brilliant images of color and motion onto the back of the eye, playing upon the persistence of vision that comes with the interplay of shadow & light. 

LUMA uses the dark as a canvas and light as the brush to paint a story of how light occurs to humanity. Standing on a lava flow on the ‘edge of the earth’, Marlin, the shows founder, had an epiphany that all life is drawn to light. Like deer in the headlight, a moth to a flame, a seed to the sun, we humans are also inextricably pulled to the light. We all have a memory of playing with a flashlight under the covers, waving a sparkler, gazing at the lights on our birthday cakes and this fascination never ends even after we have grown up. 

The show has been seen in 15 countries and taps into the universal draw that all living things have towards light. Blending various physical disciplines with hi-tech illuminated objects, LUMA creates a ‘TechnoCircus’ that is born in the shadows and has audiences sitting on the edge of their seats with goggle eyes and slack jaws. The viewer experiences artistic depictions of natural, artificial and metaphysical light. Fireflies dance, shooting starts flash across a darkened stage, screen savers undulate, carnival rides spin and EKG monitors pulse the heart beat of the body electric. 

Recommended for all ages!!!!

Get Your Tickets Now for MAMMA MIA! Playing The Hanover Theatre in Worcester, MA -- March 11 - March 13, 2014 -- #Win 2 Tickets Now!

Generously sponsored by Commerce Bank, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus’ MAMMA MIA!, the smash hit musical based on the songs of ABBA, returns to The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts in Worcester for three performances, March 11-13, 2014. Tickets are on sale now.

Seen by over 50 million people around the world, MAMMA MIA!, is celebrating over 5,000 performances in its twelfth smash hit year on Broadway and remains one of Broadway’s top selling musicals. The original West End production of MAMMA MIA! is now in its thirteenth year and has celebrated over 5,000 performances in London and the international tour has visited more than 50 foreign cities and been seen by four million people. The blockbuster feature film adaptation of MAMMA MIA!, produced by Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman, is the most successful movie musical of all time grossing $600 million worldwide.

An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna is about to let go of Sophie, the spirited daughter she’s raised alone. For Sophie’s wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends—practical and no-nonsense Rosie and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya - from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.

On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.

Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs from “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” MAMMA MIA! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.

  *Generously sponsored by Commerce Bank.

Get Your Tickets Now for Cirque Eloize: Cirkopolis, Playing the Hanover Theatre on March 5 - March 6, 2014 #Giveaway

Presents...

March 5th, 7PM 

and

March 6th, 7PM

(Tickets on Sale Now!!!)

"With Cirkopolis, Cirque Éloize presents a show that combines the worlds of circus, dance, and theatre. In the heart of a stern and imposing city, giant gears and dark portals symbolize a mechanism that crushes individuality. Performing within an inventive stage design and accompanied by an original musical score and video projections, twelve acrobats and multidisciplinary artists rebel against monotony, reinvent themselves, and challenge the limits of the factory-city. In a world where fantasy provokes reality, the veil of anonymity and solitude is lifted and replaced by bursts of color.

Cirkopolis unfolds scene by scene like an elemental universe, with sculptural imagery: jugglers brave the space, a contortionist is lifted by her companions in a surge of inspiration, aerial artists defy the height of the skyscrapers. Experiencing Cirkopolis is also stepping into the dance of the Cyr wheel, surrendering to the virtuosity of the diabolo, dreading the audacity of the German wheel and discovering the candour of a man who dreams only of dancing.

“Cirkopolis was imagined as a crossroads — between imagination and reality, between individuality and community, between limits and possibilities. The show is driven by the poetic impulse of life, the physical prowess of the circus and the humour, at once serious and light-hearted. Entering Cirkopolis is all about letting go and allowing yourself to be borne aloft by hope,” explained Jeannot Painchaud, creative director of Cirque Éloize and co-director of Cirkopolis."
