Ok, so I guess Chita Rivera is a famous dancer from back in the day. She became a huge star on Broadway in the 50’s. Apparently she remains a star in the eyes of a lot of people because the ticket brokers have bought up a lot of tickets to this show (and that means they expect it to sell out.) Well if that is the case then I say good for Ms. Rivera. (I must admit; she does have a pretty cool name.)

Anyway, if you are looking to see this show at the Gammage Auditorium over at ASU in Tempe (Phoenix) and aren’t finding what you need at the box office here is where you should shop:

AIW Tickets has tickets to three shows starting at $85
Stubhub is worth checking
TicketsNow has tickets at $95

And if that doesn’t cut it for you try shopping at these ticket vendors:

Viva Chita

Here’s a summary of the musical from wiki in case you have no idea what this muscial is about:

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a musical comedy with music by William Finn centering around a fictional spelling bee in a geographically ambiguous “Putnam County”.

One unusual aspect of the show is that real audience members are invited to compete in the spelling bee alongside the performers. Each performance, four audience members compete against six actors. During the 2005 Tony Awards, former Presidential candidate Al Sharpton had a cameo as one of the competitors. Another unusual aspect of the show is its periodic “Parent-Teacher Conferences,” also known as “adult night at the Bee,” in which audience members must be over 17 to attend. These performances are peppered with sexual references and cursing, and grew from R-rated ad-libs made during rehearsals.

The musical was based upon C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E, an original play by The Farm, a New-York-based improvisational comedy troupe.
