		<description><![CDATA[With comprehensive listings of music executives, producers, publishers, attorneys and more, Ritch Esra and Stephen Trumbull of the Music Business Registry provide vital connections in a rapidly-changing business - a report by The G-Man.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;The difference between success and failure is information,&#8221; notes Ritch Esra, and he should know. Along with his partner, Stephen Trumbull, Esra is a leading part of the number one most-reliable source of information on &#8220;who&#8217;s who&#8221; and &#8220;who does what&#8221; in the music business. Best of all, they can tell you where everybody is located.</p>
<p>FIVE VOLUMES OF DATA.</p>
<p>The Music Business Registry (<a target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.musicregistry.com">http://www.musicregistry.com</a>) publishes five directories: the &#8220;A&amp;R Registry,&#8221; the &#8220;Music Publisher Registry,&#8221; the &#8220;Music Business Attorney Registry&#8221; the &#8220;Film and Television Music Guide,&#8221; and the &#8220;Record Producer and Recording Engineer Directory.&#8221; For many in the business, these are indispensable reference works.</p>
<p>&#8220;The directories give everyone vital, accurate and the most up-to-date information they need to contact the entire A&amp;R, music publishing, legal and film/TV music communities,&#8221; Esra states. From comparing notes with dozens of professionals in all of these areas of expertise, I can tell you that no one disputes his claim.</p>
<p>More than one music industry executive has told me that the Music Business Registry publications are worth their weight in platinum. Tess Taylor, president of NARIP (National Association of Record Industry Professionals), says &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t get through one day without the directories from the Music Business Registry. These publications are the finest in the business.&#8221;</p>
<p>Each directory tells you how to reach industry professionals by regular mail, e-mail, direct dial telephone and fax. The books provide each person&#8217;s exact title, street address, the name of their assistant and the styles of music in which each executive specializes. Web sites are also included.</p>
<p>UPDATES?  YOU WANT UPDATES?</p>
<p>The world of the A&amp;R executive is exciting but ever-changing. Which is to say, there&#8217;s a lot of turnover in this part of the industry. So much turnover, in fact, that the A&amp;R Registry is completely updated and reprinted every eight weeks, whereas the publisher volume is biannual and the other books come out yearly.</p>
<p>NEED A PRODUCER? HERE ARE 1,700 OF THEM!</p>
<p>Created in partnership with RPM Direct, the &#8220;Record Producer &amp; Recording Engineer Directory&#8221; presents 1,700 of today&#8217;s leading Record Producers, Recording Engineers &amp; Remixers throughout the US, Canada and Europe in every genre of music. Included in the book are:</p>
<p>(1) Complete contact information for every Producer, Remixer &amp; Recording Engineer along with a list of their credits.</p>
<p>(2) Producer/Engineer/Remixer Management Companies including a complete <br />staff listing as well as full client rosters.</p>
<p>(3) A Complete Index to easily locate any producer.</p>
<p>(4) Several Interviews and articles with today&#8217;s leading Producers &amp; Engineers.</p>
<p>No wonder you can find the Music Business Registry&#8217;s publications in the offices of top record company executives, music publishers, artist managers, agents, music attorneys, recording artists, studios and other music business professionals everywhere from Los Angeles to London, New York to Nashville, Chicago to Copenhagen, Toronto to Tokyo, Stockholm to Sydney and Minneapolis to Munich.</p>
<p>YOUR SEARCH BEGINS HERE.</p>
<p>The Music Business Registry is located at 7510 Sunset Blvd #1041, Los Angeles, CA 90046-3400. Phone: 800-377-7411 or 818-995-7458. Fax: 800-228-9411 or 818-995-7459. E-mail: <a href="mailto:ritch@musicregistry.com">ritch@musicregistry.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you got your new Yamaha musical keyboard? If yes, you should try out the keyboard lessons in the Yamaha education suite. </p>
<p>So what is the Yamaha education suite? As the name suggests every Yamaha keyboard provides a set of keyboard lessons, across various topics and graded as per difficulty, to help you with your keyboard learning. If you are taking private lessons from a piano teacher, you can use the Yamaha keyboard lessons to reinforce important topics and concepts. </p>
<p>The Yamaha education pack will help you to learn important musical concepts like note and chord recognition, timing, and much more. It has exercises for playing left and right hand part separately as well as together at various levels of complexity. You can even set Repeat Points within the song so that you can practice a difficult section within the song repeatedly. To help you improve on your learning, the education suite has a grading mechanism as well to grade your performance on the various exercises. </p>
<p>Yamaha assigns version numbers to the education suite. Depending on your Yamaha keyboard model, you may have version 1, 2, 3 or version 4. Version 4 being the latest version and has a higher number of exercises compared to version 1, which was something that Yamaha had introduced many years back. </p>
<p>Irrespective of what version number you have, you should still explore the Yamaha Education suite. It is a convenient way of grasping important musical concepts. Even though the exercises are quite exhaustive, the Yamaha Education suite is not meant to replace your music teacher, and it should be seen as a supplement to your music lessons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Besides guitarists, private lessons are a common consideration for any struggling musician that hates the difficulties of teaching themselves. Sometimes beginning musicians do not have the patience and goal-oriented mind-set to reach the success they require.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why there are real professionally experienced guitarists that offer private lessons at your local music store for reasonable prices. Here are just a few of the benefits you&#8217;ll receive by signing up for these important lessons.</p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;ll get one on one attention.</strong></p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;re the type of student that needs to speak with the professor or teacher after a class to solidify what they&#8217;ve lectured even better. It&#8217;s harder to do this with online or video courses, but a private lesson has an instructor right in front of you to clarify any questions you might have.</p>
<p><strong>Playing and learning takes place in an intimate and comfortable atmosphere.</strong></p>
<p>Playing your guitar can really stink if your practice space consists of barking dogs and screaming children. At the very least you&#8217;ll finally get a quiet and comfortable place to practice your riffs and licks without interruptions.</p>
<p><strong>Your teachers are experienced professionals.</strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot of controversy about some of the online courses being offered due to the credibility issue, but it&#8217;s hard to cover that up in person. Really, if you want your personal private lessons guitar instructor to prove himself, tell him to show off a bit and you&#8217;ll find out immediately if these lessons are worth the money.</p>
<p><strong>Learn at a pace of your choice.</strong></p>
<p>Do you like to pump through practices quick with no nonsense, or do you like to take your time and work thoroughly? If it&#8217;s just you and your instructor, they&#8217;ll encourage you to learn as quickly or as slowly as you please to ensure the best results with your talent.</p>
<p><strong>Taylor the learning experience to your preferences.</strong></p>
<p>Other courses might have a very set agenda on what you&#8217;re going to learn, but what if none of that sounds fun or appealing to you? With private lessons, you can simply speak your mind and the teacher will start guiding you based on your interests in order to keep your business.</p>
<p><strong>Instructors can help you set goals and complete them.</strong></p>
<p>The most important thing for a personal guitar instructor is for them to see you succeed. As much as getting paid is fun, they love to see their students enjoying the guitar and reaching their goals. So, tell them what you&#8217;re dying to accomplish and they&#8217;ll help you get there.</p>
<p>Honestly, there&#8217;s a great deal of awesome information that&#8217;s provided on videos and online courses over the internet, but they all lack that very intimate and personal setting that private guitar lessons provide. Maybe it might benefit you to head down to you local music store and start asking around about some lessons for yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa248/bbanca09/kimberly11.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" align="left"></a>Who’s been signed this time, was a common question and theme at William Morris Agency while I was there as an agent. While the agency was always on the lookout, of course with the major heavy weight record labels, knowing which artist would ultimately get the deal was not always an “in the bag” known quantity. As one of the younger up and coming agents, I often learned many valuable lessons from some of the most seasoned and quite honestly almost intimidating agents, not because of personality conflicts, but because of their breadth of both knowledge and weight within the industry. One of the most valuable lessons that I learned from these agents was all things being equal, image and their press kits were as much a part of the deal signing as the actual music performed by the acts. If that’s one of the keys, especially in the beginning phases of a “baby act” trying to break in to the music industry, then why do we see such half hearted attempts and mediocre press kits and promo material out there? I don’t know if I can answer those questions, but I will certainly try to help you gain some insight into what a quality crafted press and promo kit ought to look like.</p>
<p>You would think that with the age of the computer and with very affordable software that press kits would get better. “Flashy” perhaps, but the actual depth of the material being offered into today’s press kits is usually the same with very little emphasis on the needed verbage and elements and filled with the same old clichés of where they grew up, this that and the other. It’s got to be more than that if you want to grab the attention of music industry professionals. At ReelMusician.com we are bombarded by this type of press kit day in and day out, knowing that some of these acts are fairly credible, but without the right image and marketing materials, that being their press kits, that they probably won’t make it. So what does make for a solid press kit? Let’s look at some ideas and concepts.<span id="more-97"></span></p>
<p>First off, understand that most individuals, good writers or not, aren’t cut out to write press kits. Like marketing, there is a special niche of writers who know what moves, sells, and what ultimately delivers in the final analysis. You might be a great writer emulating other press kits or material that you’ve gathered, but you have got to know what, where and when, when you are creating such marketing pieces. At ReelMusician.com, we understand that while each act and group is unique, that there are marketing differences with each and every bio and press kit that we write and produce.</p>
<p>As you begin to create your press kit, you will want to have a note pad and you will be jotting down ideas on probably a number of pages. On your first page you will be noting exactly what you want to accomplish with this press kit. Are you going for a record deal, or are you an older act that doesn’t necessarily care about the record deal, but would like to obtain more booking dates and so you will craft your press kit around club owners, venues, and booking agents, etc. You need to figure out exactly who and where this press kit will be going.</p>
<p>Your next step will be to write down exactly what you will be including in your press kit and why. Why are you going to include certain elements? They very well may be needed, but why? This will help not only make concrete what you already are more or less thinking, but it will also give you an advantage when you begin writing to create goals for why you are including what. There has always got to be a driving reason behind your press kit. It is not a slap it against the wall and stick mentality, it is a very well thought out marketing arm, aimed at your desired goals. Therefore, it begs your attention to implement specific marketing principles with a very well thought out marketing plan.</p>
<p>Now that you’ve decided what main categories of items that you will be including in your press kit, you are ready to write down short descriptive items under each category that you will expand upon when you are writing. This may take you awhile. But take the time and think through what you should include. Be imaginative. Some ideas can look bigger than life when written well. Those just starting out, it’s not as easy to do as those who have been in the business awhile simply because of experience and lack of realistic, music career oriented material. That’s why it’s almost that more crucial at the beginning stages of your career to have these professionally written so that your marketing isn’t as limited as it might seem otherwise. You have got to put more than where you grew up and musical influences. There has got to at least have the appearance of more experience and weight in your marketing which is done through carefully, crafted and targeted writing.</p>
<p>When you have finished with your initial ideas, you are now ready to sit at the computer and start writing your press kit. I couldn’t possibly address every issue or your own writing style here, but do understand that there are marketing words to use, that words do have meaning, and that you want to ultimately demand a call to respond in some way. You want the reader to be saying, “Sign this act now,” or “Maybe we can call them to open for so and so.” That’s what is needed. Not just a, “these acts influenced my writing” – that won’t get it. You have got to be writing for a call to action. Marketers on the web with any experience at all are writing for a call to action – usually for you to purchase something. So keep this in mind. Please don’t hesitate to email or call us with any questions. We’d love to know how you are doing and answer any questions you might have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is JukeBox<br />JukeBox known as MusicBox in olden days and Digital JukeBox these days were made-up of wood, beautifully decorated and designed, with a size of a wardrobe. The jukebox was a musical instrument that plays on insertion of a coin; anyone who wishes to listen to the music could insert a coin and play a song from the list. Due to its popularity many restaurant chain had installed jukebox at their premises which were enjoyed by people coming for dining. It had become a very popular and attractive instrument in restaurants.<br />History<br />Music lovers always seek for their best music at easy reach. Places like juke joint were a spot for dancing, and the jukebox provided the music. By 1927, The Automatic Music Instrument Company created the world&#8217;s first electrically amplified multi selection phonograph. With this amplification, suddenly the Jukebox could compete with a large orchestra, for the cost of a nickel. The juke box was placed in restaurants and dining areas to attract people where a music lover could insert a coin and listen to their favorite music. Till early 1900s 3/4 of all record sales went into jukebox.  Then was the juke box and now media players and itunes whereby a music lover can listen to any kind of music and store it in GBs, this means 1000s of songs and videos could be save in small device.  <br />Company involve and their products<br />Jukebox popularity rose to the peak in the 1960’s and companies started manufacturing and  making it more modernized and sophisticated. First JukeBox was made by AMI (Automated Musical Instrument), they came up with new wooden design with festive mood after WWII, and next design of JukeBox was made bubbly by Wurlitzer and finally Rock olla model in 1950.<br />Next Generation Technology<br />In early 90’s there was a complete new business model for jukebox with the launch of PC. There were many companies offering JukeBox on PC or made it stylish by embedding small micro-chip into it. Today there are mobile phone companies offering the most modern form of jukebox whereby a list of songs in different languages are stored and a user can select, download and listen to his favorite music anywhere, anytime. Today&#8217;s jukebox now has a high-speed internet connection that enables users to download certain songs that might not already be in the song library. The song libraries also hold a larger amount of songs, with capacity going up to 100,000 tunes in most cases. The amount of songs that you can have on one of these digital boxes compared to the amount on a CD jukebox is the main reason companies switched over to these downloading jukeboxes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://photobucket.com"  target="_blank"><img src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb16/mundos_muneca/stuff/greekgodess.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" align="left" border="0" /></a>The word &#8220;Agia&#8221; means saint and &#8220;Napa&#8221; translates into wooded valley so when you go clubbing in Agia Napa be sure to remember that. Yeah right! You will probably associate this beautiful holiday resort with late night clubs and trendy bars buy believe me it has a whole lot more to offer holiday makers of all ages. True, it is a great place for a good time but it is a great family resort too offering something for everyone. So before you write it off as somewhere just for young party goers it could be worth reading on.</p>
<p>The town was once a small fishing village with a pretty harbor and a few local shops tucked away a few kilometers from the bustling resort of Protaras. The harbor is still there and now it is home to a host of pleasure craft as well as the little fishing boats. If you don&#8217;t wear yourself out clubbing you can still catch the fishing boats as they return in the morning and maybe even pick up some fresh fish too. Another great feature of the harbor area are the many restaurants where you can relax and watch the world go past whilst enjoying a huge range of cuisine including surprisingly, fish!</p>
<p>The beaches in Agia Napa are amoungst the best in the area perfect for bathing or sun bathing with plenty of beach front bars and restaurants to escape to when the sun gets too much for you.<span id="more-49"></span> Nissi beach is another beautiful stretch of coast with plenty of water sports and facilities for all the family. There is a great paved walkway that runs along the coast from Agia Napa harbor right through to Nissi beach which is a great way to walk off those hoiday excesses and take in the beautiful coastal scenery at the same time.</p>
<p>The town has more than enough shops and supermarkets of every conceivable type so you won&#8217;t go short of any of those holiday essentials either. Bars, how many do you want? Even if clubbing doesn&#8217;t float your boat it&#8217;s still worth paying a visit to the famous Agia Napa square home to all the top clubs and bars. Bearing in mind that things don&#8217;t get going properly until about one o&#8217;clock in the morning the bars are already bustling from around 9pm. So why not take justa little peep and maybe indulge that hidden party animal just a little. There are even several clubs that play the nostalgic music of the 70&#8217;s 80&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s so even the mums and dads be able to sing along.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a Cyprus holiday that&#8217;s suitable for families you will find that Agia Napa has everything you could want. There&#8217;s plenty of family resturants including K.F.C. and a Macdonalds too so the kids will be easy to please. The accomadation in all parts of Cyprus is clean and modern so you can expect nothing less in Agia Napa too. The resort boast several top class hotels 5 star and above if you want to be pampered to death or modern apartment complexes if you prefer to please yourselves. Whatever you decide you can be assured that Agia Napa will be a Cyprus holiday to remember and it&#8217;s a great place to start if you want to explore more of this beautiful Island paradise.</p>
<p>With so much to offer to such a wide range of Cyprus holiday makers it&#8217;s no wonder that families and couples return to Agia Napa year after year and recommend it to their friends and family. If you want to sample the best of Cyprus you won&#8217;t go far wrong choosing Agia Napa as your holiday destination. If you don&#8217;t find everything you expect for a great family holiday in Agia Napa Cyprus the chances are you won&#8217;t find it anywhere. Enjoy Agia Napa and Cyprus!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba, was born with a pea-green skin and is considered to be smartest but misunderstood Witch of The Land of Oz. In contrast to her, Glinda the Good Witch is a ravishing and somewhat snooty witch of the region( and not quite what you would expect). Both girls meet in the Land of Oz as the most spectacular musical of the year, &#8220;Wicked&#8221;, begins. Check out the details of wicked tickets here, and get hold of cheap wicked tickets now. </p>
<p>Wicked is based on one of the best selling novels, &#8220;Wicked: the Life and Times of the Wicked Witches of the West&#8221;, written by Gregory Maguire. Gregory Maguire creates a fantasy world so rich and vivid that we will never look at the land of the Oz the same way again. In many ways, it&#8217;s a contemporised&#8217;, satirical commentary on Oz. Ignoring the obvious ones like a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like first-class citizens. Or the short Munchkins who seek the comfort of middle-class stability, and the Tin Man who becomes a victim of domestic violence. We focus on the little green-skinned girl named Elphaba, who will grow up to become the infamous Wicked Witch of the West. The Wicked witch is a smart, prickly, and misunderstood creature who challenges all our preconceived notions about the nature of good and evil. The story grows more interesting and to enhance your interest, we have some hot seats for you in all theaters. Get discount on wicked tickets for all theaters hosting this play.

<p>An astonishingly rich re-creation of the Land of Oz, this book retells the story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, who wasn&#8217;t so wicked after all. Taking readers past the yellow brick road and into a phantasmagoric world rich with imagination and allegory, Wicked just might change the reputation of one of the most sinister characters in literature.

<p>Maguire&#8217;s story begins with a moral about understanding and appreciating differences among people and then becomes a cautionary tale of people in power creating monster villains to distract from their own misdeeds. In the course of the story, he shows that what is a monster to some is a humble, self-sacrificing hero to others. &#8220;I&#8217;ll get you my pretty and your little dog too&#8221; is what we all remember from the movie. Wicked twists this tag line, and manages to change our perspective. It is hard not to fall in love with Elphaba, and not start dreading her fate. A fate that we all know well from the movie! </p>

We present wicked&#8217;s Chicago tickets, Bushnell wicked tickets, Kennedy center wicked tickets, theater tickets for wicked Florida, Boston Opera house wicked tickets, wicked tickets NY as well as wicked tickets in Philadelphia. </p>
<p>The Wicked fairytale is brought to life by the Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz&#8217;s music and lyrics and the musical staging by the Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento. The direction of, by 2003 and 2004 Tony Award winner, Joe Mantello, has made the Wicked one of the spectacular plays of the year. Wicked Tickets are in high demand! </p>
<p>With a cast led by Broadway legend Ben Vereen, TV icon Rue McClanahan and breakthrough stars Shoshana Bean and Megan Hilty, there&#8217;s never been a better time to visit the Emerald City! The twists and turns in Gregory Maguire&#8217;s incredibly imaginative back-story to ‘The Wizard of Oz&#8217; makes the audiences literally gasp with delight. But not only that, Wicked is a truly heartfelt story of friendship and love. As Richard Zoglin of ‘Time Magazine&#8217; put it, &#8220;If every musical had a brain, a heart and the courage of Wicked, Broadway really would be a magical place!&#8221; </p>
<p>The plot focuses on the witches of Oz prior to Dorthy&#8217;s arrival from Kansas. The Wizard (Joel Grey) believes in &#8220;The Big Lie&#8221; and he practices what he preaches, making everyone believe that the show&#8217;s heroine, the Wicked Witch of the West, is evil. Wicked is an ambitious musical intended to satisfy both adults and children, with strong themes in a surprisingly complex book by Winnie Holzman. Throwaway lines that get big laughs are peppered throughout the script. </p>
<p>The scenery and costumes of the Wicked spring forth in fairytale colors, allowing children to enjoy the show also. Parents can enjoy the comical dialogue and masterful lyrics. The fairytale is complete with cameos by the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion, while The Wizard, acts as the catalyst that ultimately turns the former friends into the witches that they become. The process of bringing &#8220;Wicked&#8221; to stage was no easy engineering feat. Costing 14 million dollar, the play&#8217;s production involved over 150 people and took almost two years to become a reality. Built in Calgary, Ontario the show&#8217;s complex set took over a year and a half to design and had to travel over 1,500 miles to the Curran Theatre in San Francisco. </p>
<p>Wicked the musical is not wicked the novel. While the novel is its source, the musical presents only pieces of it, in a much simplified form, and often diverging wildly from the novel&#8217;s narrative. One might be tempted to think all this destroys the work; but in the end it enhances it. Wicked the musical puts the spot light on the story&#8217;s numerous ironies and interlaced levels of social commentary. The fiesta continues for 2 hour 30 minutes of utter magnificence. You can&#8217;t bear to blink your eye during the whole gala, for fear of missing some of Wicked&#8217;s glory! </p>
<p>Fans of Gregory Maguire&#8217;s novel &#8220;Wicked&#8221; may criticize the changes made by stage adapter Winnie Holzman. She finds a way to send Elphaba and Fiyero into a bittersweet sunset together, and she establishes several reference points to the familiar ‘Wizard of Oz&#8217; film that are not in the Maguire book. But most theatergoers will find Wicked well worth the big ticket price. It&#8217;s an astoundingly good show that puts its politics front-and-center, all wrapped up in a big, entertaining package. A pre-Broadway run was opened in San Francisco at the start of 2003. It was not appreciated very well by the locals. In the original cast, Idiana Menzel acted as Elphaba, Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda and Robert Morse played the role of The Wizard. With extensive significant changes, it was reopened later that year at Gershwin Theatre in New York. Morse was replaced by Joel Gray. There were assorted reviews initially but the general mood became a lot more appreciative. The tide completely turned when &#8220;Wicked&#8221; got the acclaim it really deserved. Wicked was nominated for ten Tony Awards, including the award for the best Musical. Menzel got the award of the Best Actress in a Musical. The cast also nabbed a Grammy Award for the Best Musical Show Album. </p>
<p>This fantasy-filled musical was the winner of three 2004 Tony Awards including prizes for Best Costume Design and Best Scenic Design. Wicked also had the privilege of being the winner of 2004 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical Award! The uphill effort and zealous exertion of Joe Mantello has made Wicked a true spectacle for the eyes and ears! The popularity of this musical result in long lines to buy Wicked show tickets! The only element of the production that isn&#8217;t consistently first class is Schwartz&#8217;s songs. The tunes are a mixed bag, with several bland and forgettable power ballads included with his more distinctive and finely crafted songs. Most of the music rides on the same middling tempos, and little stands out melodically. </p>
<p>&#8220;Wicked&#8221; earned back its entire initial investment by December 21, 2004. In its first year it grossed more than 56 million dollar. The show has been playing to capacity crowds for almost every recent performance and grosses more than a million dollars every week. The show had a 14 million dollar capitalization. The show set out for extensive national touring in 2005. Successful tours were made to Toronto, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Los Angles, Fort Lauderdale and Hartford. In late June of 2005 a permanent production of &#8220;Wicked&#8221; separate from the national tour, opened at Chicago&#8217;s Oriental Theatre with an open-ended run. &#8220;Wicked&#8221; will be the first show in decades to run on a permanent basis simultaneously on Broadway and in Chicago&#8217;s North Loop theatre district. The show also has a heart, a brain, and the nerve to have opened on Broadway. Wicked is a must see show. </p>
<p>Wicked co-producer David Stone reported that the show, which plays the 1,800-seat Gershwin Theatre, had a 26 million-dollar advance. &#8220;The advance and the weekly grosses are now higher than they have ever been,&#8221; said Stone. The musical took in 1,196,658 dollar more than any show on Broadway! No surprise, given it&#8217;s popularity among the literati and the glitterati. And the relative difficulty in obtaining tickets.
