The Addams Family click here for tickets, a new musical based on the famed cartoons by Charles Addams, starts performances at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater on Broadway today. The show had a try-out in Chicago in late 2009 and brought in director Jerry Zaks to sharpen up the production. Is The Addams Family now ready to face Broadway? Audiences will decide tonight, and critics will decide on April 8, when the creepy and kooky musical has its official Broadway opening. The Addams Family stars Nathan Lane (The Producers) and Bebe Neuwirth (Chicago) as Gomez and Morticia Addams, Kevin Chamberlin as Uncle Fester, and Jackie Hoffman as Grandma, all members of a ghoulish but loving family of misfits who live in a haunted mansion. The musical has a book by Jersey Boys writers Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman and an original score by Andrew Lippa (Off-Broadway’s The Wild Party).

Host of Stadium’s Opener? We’ll Flip You For It
Published: 03-13-10

By Randy Lange
Editor-in-Chief
New Meadowlands Stadium who will play first Jets or Giants

The NFL debut of the New Meadowlands Stadium is now just six months away. The Jets and Giants, co-owners of the 2-million-square-foot pigskin palace, want the privilege and honor of being the host team when that first regular-season game is played there in September.

Who will it be? The Green & White or the Blue & Red? The decision will be made by — what else? — a coin toss.

Both organizations have been vigorously stating their cases to the league office. The NFL has said the game will be decided by a coin toss and the Jets have presented a plan for the flip at the new stadium in the week ahead to make this decision easy. The details of the 50-50 proposition have yet to be fully worked out with the league, but the Jets are willing to let the verdict be determined the same way that the league’s teams have settled some scores for decades.

The coin toss, so important to certain procedures that the NFL has a set of rules to govern it, has been around football since 1892. It has survived actress Elizabeth Taylor mistakenly being allowed to make the call of the opening toss in 1989 at Texas Stadium, and referee Phil Luckett’s coin-flip faux pas before overtime in the Pontiac Silverdome in 1998.

Coin tosses are also used to break ties for draft position on an almost annual basis — in fact, for April’s draft, three sets of teams had the same records and same schedule strengths and so three times heads or tails was called to break each of those ties for first-round draft order.

And “Step No. 12″ in the most important tiebreaking procedures of all, those to determine which teams make the playoffs and which don’t, is a coin toss (although no toss has ever been needed to break a playoff tie).

As mentioned, the date, time and other details of this New Meadowlands Stadium winner-take-home coin toss are still being “minted,” so to speak. It’s quite possible there will be media coverage for this mini-event and fans may be invited into the stadium to observe the proceedings and cheer on their side — meaning their team as well as their team’s side of the medallion.

Think about it: the first coin toss at midfield of New Meadowlands Stadium, and it comes between the Jets and Giants.

We’ll provide you with more details when we get them.

TIMES SQUARE — Despite best efforts by the band Black Eyed Peas to keep the super-secret location of their Manhattan concert hush-hush, the city’s all-seeing Twitter users broke the news that the bash would be taking place in Times Square.

Tickets for the Black Eyed Peas summer tour go on sale this weekend at Tixx.com
The band’s front man, William Adams — better known by his stage name will.i.am — said via Twitter on Wednesday that he wouldn’t release the location of the show because the NYPD threatened to shut the performance down.
“the nypd said if we reveal the secrete location they will shut the show down,” he wrote on his Twitter page around 4:30 p.m. He disclosed soon thereafter that the time of the show would be 6 p.m., but he didn’t allude to its whereabouts.
But police couldn’t keep messages from Manhattanites, some of whom saw a stage under construction in Times Square, from lighting up their Twitter feeds.
“So there’s a big stage been going up in Times Square,” Twitter user sammie_doodle wrote around 5:30 p.m. “In other news, there’s a Black Eyed Peas Secret Show tonight somewhere in NYC….”
Twitter user EverythingNYC proclaimed, “Tonight’s Black Eyed Peas FREE #NYC show location: 42nd St. Times Square or watch the live webcast.”
Finally, at 6 p.m., will.i.am relented and acknowledged that the concert was indeed happening in Times Square.
Band member Fergie made no mention of the show on her Twitter account, but will.i.am noted, “its going to be record breaking and next level.”

Matheson & Terry Introduce Ticket Competition Bill

WASHINGTON- Congressman Lee Terry (R-NE) and Congressman Jim Matheson (D-UT) have introduced legislation to provide open and meaningful competition for consumers. The ‘Ticket Act of 2010’ protects consumer access to the most competitive and open segment of the event ticket market, the secondary market for buying and selling tickets.

“Consumers are losing the ability to transfer tickets that they purchased – in a legal way,” said Congressman Matheson. “The system is being rigged against the individual fan when it comes to the secondary market, and this bill tries to address that problem.”

“Too many times the average person is shut out of concerts and sporting events because the limitation of tickets available and the lack of a secondary market to access them,” said Congressman Lee Terry. “For one major company to have the monopoly on ticket sales and resale is unfair to the consumer.”

Facts about the Ticket Act of 2010:

* This legislation allows access to open and competitive secondary ticket markets.

* Protects ticket purchasers from harmful legal action by ticket issuers that threaten legal action against them.

* Requires ticket sellers, both in the initial primary market and the secondary resale market to offer basic consumer protections which will include full refunds (including fees charged to the purchaser) if the event or ticket is cancelled or if the seat location or similar feature have been materially misrepresented.

* The provisions of this legislation apply to nearly all ticketed events in venues seating more than 1000 persons that affect interstate commerce (with exceptions for free charity events and distribution of game tickets to high school or college students, booster clubs, and the like)

* This legislation covers all methods of ticket distribution, including electronic or virtual ticketing systems.

* The requirements would apply to venue operators, event promoters, sports teams and leagues, and their agents, including all major sources of event tickets in the primary market.

* This legislation does not pre-empt State and local scalping laws and other prerogatives.

Spiderman tickets new york

Actress Evan Rachel Wood, previously announced to play Mary Jane Watson, the superhero’s love interest, has dropped out of the mega-budgeted stage production.

The news was reported Tuesday afternoon by Variety. Producers of the musical issued a statement saying Wood’s departure was because of a “scheduling conflict” and that casting is “underway to find a new Mary Jane to join the rest of the cast in the production,” according to the trade publication.

“Spider-man, Turn Off the Dark,” which features music by Bono and the Edge, was originally set to open on Broadway at the Hilton Theatre this spring in time for Tony Award consideration. However, the opening day has been pushed to an undetermined date in 2010.

In November, producers announced that rock impresario Michael Cohl had joined the show as lead producer. They also said that indie-rock musician Reeve Carney would play Spider-man, joining Alan Cumming, who was set to play the Green Goblin.

In the past, work on the show had been halted as producers scrambled to raise funds. The Times reported in November that the production’s budget is said to be around $52 million, making it possibly the most expensive Broadway show in history.

With the exit of Wood, we want to know who you think should play the role of Spidey’s main cling.
