Now through August 30, Wicked is playing at the Civic Theatre. There are still some tickets left, but they are going fast. Also, there is a lottery before each performance, and you can find out more information here
Also playing at the Civic in September is Monty Python's Spamalot. Tickets are on sale, so you should get them soon. It is only playing for a week, and the tour ends shortly after coming to San Diego, so this will be one of the last chances to see it! Tickets are onsale here
Playing through the end of August at The Old Globe Theatre is the pre-Broadway engagement of First Wives Club. It is always great to see a Broadway caliber show before it actually goes to Broadway, and to say you have seen it before almost everyone. More info here
Also at the Globe, is their annual Shakespeare festival, this year consisting of Twelfth Night, Coriolanus, and Cyrano De Bergerac (yes, technically not Shakespeare, but still good). Running through the end of September.
And at the La Jolla Playhouse, the smash Broadway hit "The 39 Steps". Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller on stage as a … slapstick comedy consisting of only 4 cast members that play all 150 characters.
There is also Godspell from Lamb's Players at the Horton Grand theatre.
And don't forget Noises Off at Cygnet, running through the end of August.
Sometimes we take for granted how much of a really good theatre town San Diego is, so if you like theatre, you should try and catch one of these shows. There are many opportunities for less expensive tickets, so please, help support the arts. And these shows are just the tip of the iceberg.
