If you plan to see Wicked, make sure you get tickets the day they go on sale. I was planning to go here in Minneapolis with my wife and 2 other couples, but by the day after tickets went on sale, I couldn't get a bloc of 6 seats to save my life. If you plan on just you and your wife, it should be easier, but still, I wouldn't risk it.

Couldn't ask for a better show. Our next adventure will be Wicked. Just waiting for tickets to go on sale. This is one that my wife is absolutely crazy for!
