Whitney Hall Tickets - Louisville Brings Sluggers Into The Month Of May
Louisville, Ky. is an absolute hotspot in the month of May, and not just because the greatest event in American horse racing – the Kentucky Derby – takes place in this Southern state during the first weekend of the month. Louisville is also alive with an abundance of music and theatrical performances that help transform the state of Kentucky into an entertainment mecca during the springtime, and there are several top-notch acts set to invade Louisville this May, helping to keep the spirit alive long after the Mint Juleps and big hats disappear from Churchill Downs.
One of Louisville's hottest venues for entertainment around the year is the Kentucky Center, and the center's Whitney Hall is the place to be this May for lovers of the performing arts. Theatergoers in Louisville are already on the prowl for <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/whitney-hall-event-tickets/">Whitney Hall event tickets</a>, as the smash Broadway show Wicked will soar into the Louisville locale for a string of performances on the production's national tour this May.
Wicked is one of the most popular Broadway shows currently on the theatrical scene, and the musical is an all-ages thriller depicting the land of Oz before Dorothy crashes the party. Exploring the early life of Elphaba – most popularly known as the Wicked Witch of the West – Wicked is a fascinatingly magical tale that puts a spin on the classic film and children's tale The Wizard of Oz. After becoming a staple on the Broadway circuit, Wicked recently embarked upon a national tour that will take Louisville by storm from May 5-23.
Whitney Hall will come alive with songs like "The Wizard and I," "Defying Gravity" and "As Long As You're Mine" when Wicked takes center stage in Louisville this May, and theatergoers will pack the house to see the colorful cast of this musical mainstay as the rivalry between Elphaba and Glinda unravels.
For those who prefer live music to musicals, Louisville also serves up a heaping dish of live entertainment this spring at the Louisville Palace, where alternative rockers the Barenaked Ladies will jam on May 15. Music fans can hear riveting renditions of Barenaked Ladies classics like "One Week" and "Pinch Me" when the Canadian supergroup comes steamrolling into Louisville, and with these quirky rockers taking the stage anything is possible in concert.
The Barenaked Ladies exploded onto the music scene in the late '90s with a post-grunge rock style, infectious tunes and catchy lyrics to match, and lead singer Ed Robertson's unmistakable vocals helped to propel the rock band into the spotlight as a highly-praised acoustic act. Steadily gaining mainstream appeal, the Barenaked Ladies quickly became known for bizarre song lyrics ("Chickity China the Chinese chicken/ Have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'," go the lyrics to "One Week") and freewheeling tunes.
Though reaching the apex of success in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Barenaked Ladies are back in action and ready to take the nation by storm in support of their new studio set, All in Good Time. Watch out, Louisville; unmatchable live entertainment is comin' 'atcha this May
