6 Broadway in Chicago shows package only $89 on Goldstar!

6-play-9202Goldstar has Broadway in Chicago theater packages starting at only $89!  Chicago offers much to see and do, and this season’s Broadway In Chicago lineup will keep you busy into the summer, with fabulous shows at beautiful theaters in the heart of Chicago’s downtown arts district. Your six-show subscription package begins with the U.S. premiere of the music and dance spectacular Heartbeat of Home. From the producers of Riverdance, this high-energy extravaganza features traditional Irish, Latin and Afro-Cuban elements. Next up, American Idol‘s Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo star in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the enduring hit that blends pop, country and rock music to tell the uplifting Biblical story of Joseph, his 11 brothers and a magical coat of many colors. The New York Times called Peter and the Starcatcher, the swashbuckling, madcap prequel to Peter Pan, “the most exhilarating storytelling on Broadway in decades.” The U.S. tour premiere of Motown the Musical transports you to an era when a featherweight boxer transformed to heavyweight music mogul and launched the careers of Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye and more — in the process creating the sound that changed America. From there, follow the yellow brick road to the magical land of Oz in the enchanting new adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, featuring all your favorite tunes plus some new ones by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. The season wraps up with The Last Ship, making its pre-Broadway world premiere. With an original score by 16-time Grammy-winner Sting, it’s an epic tale of life in the English seafaring town of Wallsend.

Sister Hazel – alt rock at House of Blues – one date left

unnamedSister Hazel, one of the mainstay acts of alt rock, rolls into the Windy City, ready to show everyone — fans and newcomers alike — how it’s done down south. Since 1993, the band has released a string of albums that have managed to please both critics and “Hazelnuts,” the name adopted by their fiercely devoted fan base. In fact, 2009’s Release charted higher than the platinum-selling Somewhere More Familiar, which featured, “All for You,” one of the catchiest singles of the ’90s. Sister Hazel’s legacy continues with their latest effort, Heartland Highway, an album designed to be played straight from beginning to end. Now the pride of Gainesville, Florida heads north to play their signature pop hooks and country rock harmonies at the House of Blues.
