I have been to two Monster Truck shows and they were fun. The Trucks are coming to Seattle soon for some fun at the Comcast Arena. Here is some info from wikipedia:

A monster truck is an automobile, typically styled after pickup trucks, modified or purposely built with extremely large wheels and suspension. They are used for competition and popular Sports Entertainment and in some cases they are featured alongside Motocross races, mud bogging, tractor pulls and car-eating robots. They are most popular in the United States.

Usually, a monster truck show involves the truck crushing smaller vehicles beneath its huge tires. These trucks can run up and over most man-made barriers, so they are equipped with remote shut-off switches, called the Remote Ignition Interuptor (RII), to help prevent an accident if the driver loses control at any time. At some events, only one truck is on the course at a time, while most feature two drivers racing each other on symmetrical tracks, with the losing driver eliminated in single-elimination tournament fashion.

In recent years, many monster truck competitions have ended with a “freestyle” event. Somewhat akin to figure skating with giant trucks, drivers are free to select their own course around the track and its obstacles. Drivers will often try ‘Donuts’, wheelstands and jumps during this segment. Additional items for the drivers to crush - usually including a motor home - are frequently placed on the track specifically for the freestyle event. Other obstacles sometimes placed on the track include school buses and small airplanes.

Initially the shows were titled “Chinese Spectacular”, “Holiday Wonders’, and “Shen Yun”, but now the company mostly performs under its own name.

Produced by Minneapolis-based VEE Corporation, the show opened on September 17, 1980, with a production of Sesame Street Live “Missing Bird Mystery” playing at the Met Center in Bloomington, Minnesota. Sesame Street Live is now produced as three or four separate tours, each performing a different show, with its own plot, characters, scenery, and soundtrack. Shows are performed in arenas and theatres around the world, generally working on an eight to ten month touring schedule ending in the spring and resuming in the late summer. While in the United States, Sesame Street Live is a bus and truck show, with the equipment moving by two or three trucks and the personnel travelling by bus. (This is contrasted with a show that travels by rail, such as the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.) Outside of the United States, air cargo and sea containers are used.

The shows feature original music scores and songs, complemented with old favorites from the show, and professional dancers as costumed characters performing the parts of the Muppets. The productions are done in a theatrical style. In an arena, a stage is built and a false proscenium is created to make the experience more similar to going to a theatre.

I have never seen this show but I hope to soon. The Phantom of the Opera is one of those shows that needs to be seen at least once. It is playing for several nights at the Paramount Theater here in Seattle. Here is some info from wikipedia:

The Phantom of the Opera (in French, Le Fantôme de l’Opéra) is a French novel by Gaston Leroux. It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from September 23, 1909 to January 8, 1910. Some believe it to have been inspired by George du Maurier’s Trilby. Trilby is based on real events related to the Paris Opera House which Leroux investigated, initiated by stories of an opera house ghost. Initially, the novel sold very poorly and was even out of print several times during the twentieth century. Today, it is considered to be a classic of French literature, though it is overshadowed by its many subsequent adaptations. The novel was translated into English in 1911. It has since been adapted many times into and stage productions, the most notable of which were the 1925 film depiction and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1986 musical, starring Michael Crawford as the Phantom, Steve Barton as Raoul, and Sarah Brightman as Christine, which is now the longest running Broadway show in history and the most lucrative entertainment enterprise of all time, its worldwide box office over the past 20 years out-grossing even the highest grossing film in history, Titanic.

I don’t know anything about this show so I am giving you a little extra from wikipedia. The show is at the Paramount Theater here in Seattle. Here is some info from wikipedia:

Avenue Q is an award-winning musical conceived by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, who wrote the music and lyrics, and directed by Jason Moore. The book is by Jeff Whitty. The show was produced by and opened at the Off-Broadway Vineyard Theatre in March 2003. The production transferred to Broadway in July 2003 and won several Tony Awards, including the award for Best Musical. It is still running on Broadway and holds the position of 28th longest running musical in Broadway history. The show has spawned a 2005 Las Vegas production, a 2006 West End production and various international productions. A U.S. national tour began in July 2007.

The show is largely inspired by (and is in the style of) Sesame Street: Most of the characters in the show are puppets (operated by actors onstage), the set depicts several tenements on a rundown street in an “outer borough” of New York City, both the live characters and puppet characters sing, and short animated video clips are played as part of the story. Also, several characters are recognizably parodies of classic Sesame Street characters: for example, the roommates Rod and Nicky are versions of Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie, and Trekkie Monster is based on Cookie Monster. However, the characters are in their twenties and thirties and face adult problems instead of those faced by pre-schoolers. The characters use profanity, and the songs concern adult themes. A recurring theme is the central character’s search for a “purpose.” Since the musical soundtrack for it was released, the song “The Internet is For Porn” has become particularly popular on websites such as YouTube and can be downloaded for free from the official website.

This picture sucks and there is nothing I can do about it… so there! Larry the Cable Guy is coming to the Paramount Theater to do his act here in Seattle. Come and laugh your face off. Here is some info from wikipedia:

Daniel Lawrence Whitney (born February 17, 1963 in Pawnee City, Nebraska), better known by the stage name Larry the Cable Guy, is a stand up comedian, actor, and one of the co-stars of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and the subsequent series Blue Collar TV. He starred in the feature-length movie Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector, provided his voice to star in the animated film Cars as Mater, its subsequent video game and its short film sequel Mater and the Ghostlight, and starred alongside close friend Bill Engvall in the film Delta Farce.

Whitney grew up in Pawnee City, Nebraska; he moved to Palm Beach County, Florida with his family when he was 16 where he attended Berean Christian School. His father, a preacher who once played guitar with the Everly Brothers, worked as the principal of the nearby Berean Christian Elementary School. Whitney worked at Wendy’s until 1985, when he began doing stand-up comedy with other West Palm Beach locals (such as his friend Jamie Porter). At the encouragement of friends and coworkers, he continued his standup work during amateur nights at the Comedy Club in Blue Springs, Missouri. In 1991, he began doing radio comedy, in which he would call into stations as fictional characters. The “Larry” character was created after a friend from one of the stations asked him to call in as a cable installer.

I have never seen Louis C.K. but he sounds funny. Read the info on him below from wikipedia. He is performing at the Moore Theater here in Seattle.

His credits as a writer include Saturday Night Live, Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Dana Carvey Show and the Chris Rock Show. His work for the Chris Rock Show was nominated for an Emmy Award three times, including winning “Best Writing in a Variety or Comedy Series” in 1999. He was also nominated for an Emmy Award for his work writing Late Night with Conan O’Brien. However, the feature film, Pootie Tang, born from the sketch show received largely negative reviews.

In 2001, C.K. co-wrote the Chris Rock film Down to Earth.
In 2007 he co-wrote the movie I Think I Love My Wife with Chris Rock. As of late August, C.K. has confirmed he’s shopping around a collection of short stories titled, “Touching Turkeys Tastefully.” To date, he has not found a suitable publisher.

Filmmaking

He has also directed and wrote severeal short films and feature-length movies. His short films include: “Caesar’s Salad,” “The Legend of Willie Brown,” a jazz mockumentary, “Ice Cream,” and six short films on a Showtime sketch comedy show called “Sunny Skies.” The feature films that he wrote and directed include: Tomorrow Night, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival among other festivals, and received rave reviews from the L.A. Times, Variety, and New Times L.A. which called it “the best film of the year 2000. However, he is probably best known for directing and writing the feature-length film Pootie Tang, starring a character that Louis created for the Chris Rock show.
