AWESOME ALERT: Phantom Turns 25 and Gives Away Awesome Prizes

The longest running show on Broadway is turning 25 next month! Phantom of the Opera, one of my favorite shows ever (see this post), is celebrating its quarter-century of existence in a big way that you don't want to miss!

100 lucky winners will receive a pair of tickets to the Anniversary performance, and two grand prize winners, in addition to the performance, will also receive additional passes to the exclusive post-performance party, as well as a one-night stay at the Algonquin Hotel and air transportation from American Airlines (make sure you tell all of your out-of-town friends and family about this!) for two during the weekend of the event.

The cast of Phantom recorded a video with a special message on how to enter for a chance to win.

Show Your Shades, Score Some Tickets

We've all heard of The Shirelles (Twist and Shout, Sixteen Candles, It's My Party...hello?!?). But have you ever heard of the woman who made them stars?

Baby It's You, a new Broadway musical, tells the story of Florence Greenberg, a suburban housewife from New Jersey, and how she came to change the face of music, discovering the original girl group and creating an influential record label. It stars Tony-award winning actress Beth Leavel as Greenberg and promises to pop with familiar toe-tapping tunes. I'm sure the costumes will be spectacular as well.

Now in previews, Baby It's You opens April 27th, but the show is holding a clever ticket giveaway contest on Facebook. All you have to do is post a picture of yourself in your favorite shades (the more retro the better) for a chance to win tickets. All you awesome readers should enter and tell your friends!

I also noticed that if you sign up for the newsletter on the show's homepage, you will also be entered to win tickets. So why not double your chances? Best of luck! I hope one of my readers wins!

All That Facebook Jazz

Now don't get confused, but Chicago is awesome in New York.

The show that is. Along with some kick-ass chair dancing and sexy solos, the show also has an amazing PR team which cooked up an innovative campaign that you should really take advantage of. Chicago has plans to be the first Broadway production to pack the house entirely with its Facebook fans. All you have to do is get ten of your friends to "like" the show, and you get a FREE ticket to the 2 p.m. performance on Sunday January 30th.
