- La Strada / North Elementary / Kaiser Cartel @ Local 506 – $5
- WICKED @ DPAC – This show made my head and heart explode when I saw it on Broadway with the original cast (Idina Menzel AND Christin Chenowith)* back several years ago. If you love the Wizard of Oz and big voices and don’t mind political-re-imaginings of old favorites then THIS is the show for you. $30-$140 *nerd alert
