Yesterday we gave away tickets to the Queen of the Desert . . . today it's a very different Queen.
We've got two tickets to the The Transport Group's world premiere of Michael John LaChiusa's Queen of the Mist, and I guarantee there ain't no Village people tunes in this one.
Five time Tony nominee Michael John is one of the theater's most serious and important composers . . . and any new work by him is something to be seen. And because you're a reader, you have a chance at seeing it for free.
Here's how to win . . .
Queen of the Mist is based on "an astounding and outrageous true story of the first woman who set out to shoot Niagara Falls in a barrel of her own design." (Now do you get the Queen of the Mist title?)
This week we had some "astounding and outrageous" true stories of our own: Lindsay Lohan back in court, Moammar Gadhafi meeting his maker (that's a meeting I'm glad I missed) and the delay of the start of the NBA season.
Pick one of those topics, and give me the title of an "astounding and outrageous" musical based on the true events. I'll pick my favorite, and that favorite will go see Queen of the Mist!
Go!
