Tickets for Wicked in San Francisco for the holidays would be a great gift idea. Even if it is a little early, you should still plan ahead. San Francisco is one of those cities that lights up in December, and there’s plenty to do including catching Wicked at the Orpheum Theater.

Wicked the Musical

Wicked the Musical will be at the Orpheum Theatre through January 3rd 2010 and if you haven’t seen it yet, you’re missing out on a great show. The Orpheum is an San Francisco Historical Landmark that has been restored twice since it opened in 1926.

Theatre fans around the country have been so excited about the play that they have been going to multiple performances, and sometimes in several cities. Wicked opened up at the Gershwin Theatre on October 30th, 2003, and has been on tour throughout the US since March 2005.

Roger Daltrey

Roger Daltrey of the Who is playing solo tonight at the Showbox in Seattle, Washington, and prices have dropped to below $20 each for this general admission concert. You can’t beat this show for the chance to hear some classic Who songs at this price. The next show on his tour takes Roger to the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, and that will be a fantastic venue for his concert.

Bob Dylan is playing three nights at the Palladium in Los Angeles, and the show is all general admission, but if Bob can stand for two hours, so can his fans I suppose.

Daughtrey is on tour and playing the Marquee Theater in Tempe, Arizona on Tuesday, this is also a general admission show and tickets are only $45 each.
