I have never seen the show, but my in-laws have and they love it. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is coming to Phoenix for a show. Come to the Orpheum theater for the fun. Here is some info from wiki:

Chicago the Musical is coming to Phoenix for a few shows. If you are a fan come out to the Orpheum Theater. Here is some info from wiki:

Chicago is a Kander and Ebb musical set in prohibition era Chicago. The book is by Ebb and Bob Fosse. The story is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice, and the concept of the “celebrity criminal.” The musical is based on a 1926 play of the same name by reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins about actual criminals and crimes she had reported on.

The original 1975 Broadway production ran for a total of 936 performances. Bob Fosse choreographed the original production, and his style is strongly identified with the show. Chicago’s 1996 Broadway revival holds the record for the longest-running musical revival on Broadway (not counting the revue Oh! Calcutta!) and, as of March 2, 2008, it has played for more than 4,684 performances. The revival was followed by a production on London’s West End and several tours and international productions. An Academy Award-winning film version of the musical was released in 2002.

Plays make me happy inside. For a limited time the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is coming to Phoenix. Come out to the Orpheum Theater for the fun. Here is some info from wiki:

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a one act musical comedy with music and lyrics by William Finn and a book by Rachel Sheinkin. The show centers around a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally-quirky grown-ups.

The 2005 Broadway production, directed by James Lapine, has earned good reviews and box-office success and was nominated for six Tony Awards, winning two, including Best Book. The show has spawned various other productions in the U.S., a national tour with performances two in Canada and Australian productions.

An unusual aspect of the show is that three or four real audience members are invited on stage to compete in the spelling bee alongside the six young characters. During the 2005 Tony Awards, former Presidential candidate Al Sharpton competed. Another amusing aspect of the show is that the official pronouncer, usually an improv comedian provides ridiculous usage-in-a-sentence examples when asked to use words in a sentence. For instance, for the word “palaestra,” he says, “Euripides said, ‘What happens at the palaestra stays at the palaestra.’” At some shows, adult-only audiences (over age 16) are invited for “Parent-Teacher Conferences,” also known as “adult night at the Bee.” These performances are peppered with sexual references and profanity inspired by R-rated ad-libs made during rehearsals.
