Awesome! The show still isn't coming to Minnesota so I won't hear complaints about ticket prices, sold out shows, lack of merchandise in my store, etc. (Can you blame me? It's the busy retail season - I have enough work to do. )

This is weird... they're only playing for one night in most locales (except for Uniondale, NY)
and they're not coming to the San Francisco Bay Area at all...

Also they're going directly from Kansas City to Anaheim. One would think that they'll
try to have a concert in Denver, Phoenix or Salt Lake City along the way.
Finally, trying to go from Anaheim to Fresno overnight in late Jan can be an iffy proposition. (Heck, even Fresno to Las Vegas can be; that time of the year).

They were here this week and it was a madhouse. I should have bought my girls tickets and taken them, but when tix went on sale (just a few weeks before the show!), we were leaving for Disneyland. Everyone at school was wearing their HSM shirts. I was all until I remembered the show was that night. We went out to dinner and the traffic was so bad in that area...and the show was sold out.

Very costly tickets. The cheapest seat was $40+ (with fees). I have three kids, no way I was taking them....esp. this time of year!
