The Sound Of Music Chicago Discount!

The Sound Of Music Chicago Discount

If you are a fan of the classic The Sound Of Music, you are going to be very excited! The Sound Of Music opens at the Civic Opera House (20 North Wacker Drive Chicago, IL 60606) April 25th and runs through the currently announced end date of May 25th. This show stars Billy Zane (one of the stars of the movie Titanic), as well as opera stars Christine Brewer and Elizabeth Futral, Jenn Gambatese of Broadway’s Wicked and All Shook Up, and Edward Hibbert of Frasier. Even better is that you can currently get a The Sound Of Music Chicago Discount!

The Sound Of Music Chicago Discount: Goldstar is currently offering tickets to The Sound of Music for as low as $35 for dates throughout the entire run. The full ticket price ranges between $47-$179, so this is a nice discount on a show that you likely know all of the music to, but have never seen performed live. Dates and prices will begin to sell out, so don’t wait too long if you intend to take advantage of this price reduction.

The stage production of The Sound Of Music is a little bit different than the movie starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. The basic story is the same, but there will be additional songs and scenes that you didn’t see in the movie. Just like books are typically better than movies, you may find that you enjoy the play more!

Seadog Chicago Discounts

If you’ve been down to Navy Pier, you’ve probably seen the large, yellow Seadog boats. These have become a staple at Navy Pier and an experience that everyone should have! There are three different options that you can choose from: Lakefront Speedboat Tour, Seadog Extreme Thrill Ride or River and Lake Architectural Tour. Currently you can also get some great Seadog Chicago discounts on each:

$15 for a 30-minute lakefront speedboat tour (up to a $30.45 value)
$18 for a 30-minute Seadog Extreme thrill ride (up to a $36.10 value)
$20 for a 75-minute river and lake architectural tour (up to a $41.75 value)

“The lakefront speedboat tour ferries up to 135 passengers along the shores of Lake Michigan, passing such famed sites as Navy Pier, the Museum Campus, Grant Park, and the Magnificent Mile, while captains dispense enlightening tidbits about the skyline’s history and architecture. With speeds of up to 45 mph, the Seadog Extreme takes passengers on a thrill ride, on which two 1,400-horsepower engines move through slaloms and 180- to 360-degree turns. Alternatively, the river and lake architectural tour kicks off with a speedboat ride on the lakefront before passing through the locks and meandering through downtown and its opulent skyscrapers on the Chicago River. All tours depart from and return to Navy Pier.”

Your certificates for the Seadog Chicago discounts won’t expire until September 2014, so you will have all summer to take your ride. There is a limit of 8 per person, allowing you to bring the entire family. Also remember that you will have to make a reservation for your cruise beforehand. This is a fun way to see some of the Chicago highlights and your family will be talking about it for weeks – ours did!

Chicago History Museum Discount!

Chicago History Museum Discount

I am sure that you are familiar with most of the larger museums in Chicago (The Shedd Aquarium, The Museum Of Science And Industry, The Planetarium, etc.), but you may not know some of the smaller ones! We are very lucky to have so much culture at our fingertips and over time I plan to tell you about many of the smaller haunts. Even better, at this time you can get a Chicago History Museum Discount!

The Chicago History Museum is not actually a “small” museum, but because it’s not located on the Museum Campus, many people aren’t familiar with it. The Chicago History Museum is located at 1601 N. Clark in Chicago, contains 22 million artifacts and actually, my favorite description comes right from their website: “If you live in Chicago or visit here and are curious about the city’s past, present, and future, the Museum should be your first stop.” That about says it all!

Chicago History Museum Discount: Currently you can get passes to the Chicago History Museum for only $7 each. You can choose from the purchase of a single tickets for $7, two tickets for $14 or four tickets for $28. There is a limit of one per person, but you can purchase a second as a gift.

Chicago really has a wealth of culture, so take advantage of this opportunity to explore a museum you’ve never been to!

Scooby Doo Live Musical Mysteries Chicago Discount

Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? That’s a question that many of us have been singing for years and we still don’t have the answer! Well hopefully this production of Scooby Doo Live! Musical Mysteries at the Rosemont Theater will give us some answers along with a discount.

“Based on the beloved children’s cartoon, Scooby-Doo Live! Musical Mysteries takes audience members on a fun yet goose-bump-inducing jaunt as they watch the Mystery Inc. gang and their gumshoe great dane, Scooby-Doo, solve a brand-new case. The fashionable Daphne, preppy Fred, bookish Velma, spacy Shaggy, and of course, the easily frightened Scoob, all load up the Mystery Machine to race to the scene of the latest paranormal crime—a local theater haunted by a rascally ghost. As they break out into choreographed song-and-dance numbers, from the whimsical TV theme to original tunes such as “We’re Mystery Inc.” and “Round Every Corner,” the gang runs into a host of colorful characters in the form of a tap-dancing skeleton and a singing barbershop duo. Fans can expect well-known bits from the show, laughing in familiarity at Scooby-Doo’s broken English, the reveal of the culprit, and tips from Shaggy on how to grow a beard only on your chin.”

Scooby Doo Live Musical Mysteries Chicago Discount: For a limited time you can get tickets to see Scooby Doo Live! Musical Mysteries at the Rosemont Theater for only $25. You have your choice between Saturday, May 3 at 1:00 PM or 4:00 PM. There is a limit of 8 tickets per person and it does appear that this show is appropriate for children or adults.

Il Divo Concert Discount

Il Divo is on their way to Chicago! During their Musical Affair Tour they will be celebrating the “Best of Broadway.” Here is more about the group and this performance:

“Their voices are almost heavenly — and in fact their name translates to “divine male.” Formed in the U.K. by reality TV star and music producer Simon Cowell, Il Divo is a vocal quartet made up of French pop singer Sébastien Izambard, Spanish baritone Carlos Marín, American tenor David Miller and Swiss tenor Urs Bühler. Their harmonious sound earned this record-breaking classical crossover group almost instantaneous acclaim worldwide from millions of captivated fans. Their latest tour, named A Musical Affair: The Greatest Songs of Broadway Live, supports the release of their sixth album and features songs inspired by such Broadway hits as The Phantom of the Opera, Carousel, West Side Story, Mamma Mia! and more. The guys are no strangers to musical theater: Carlos was cast as Marius in Les Miserables when the show first premiered in Spain in 1993, and David played Rodolfo in Broadway’s La Boheme in 2003 — a show that earned seven Tony Award nominations.”

Il Divo Concert Discount: Currently you can get half off your tickets to see Il Divo at the Rosemont theater through Goldstar! They are offering $89.50 tickets for only $49 – a fantastic deal if you’ve been wanting to see Il Divo on tour! As with any Goldstar deals, there are a limited number of tickets available at this price.

Santa’s Village Azoosment Park Coupons

Santa’s Village Azoosment Park is one of those Chicago kid staples that is not actually in Chicago! Located in East Dundee, Santa’s Village is about 45 minutes out of the city and worth the trip – especially when you can use Santa’s Village Azoosment Park coupons! The park includes everything from games to rides to animal petting as well as a sleigh ride, wandering princesses and a specific house where you can feed birds. The last time we went, my kids were able to hold sticks covered with seed and peanut butter and watch as the birds landed right on them. They love it!

Santa’s Village Azoosment Park Coupons: Groupon is currently running a deal where you can get tickets to Santa’s Village for 25% off! You can purchase admission for two for $20 or admission for four for $40. That’s only $10 per person! You can spend your entire day there for about the same price as a movie! These tickets do expire May 28th, 2014, so plan your day out before then. Limit 1 per person. Santa’s Village is located at 601 Dundee Avenue

Considering the winter we’ve had, this is a great way to get yourself and the children outside. They need to run, jump and play and let’s face it – so do you!

Chicago’s Pizza Coupons – Free Small Thin Crust Pizza!

Chicago’s Pizza Coupons

Chicago people are particular about Chicago pizza and with good reason. In my opinion, we have the best pizza in the country and we have a lot of it! Everyone tries to be the best by tinkering with the crust or the sauce, but there are only some who succeed. One of these local haunts is Chicago’s Pizza.

Chicago’s Pizza Coupons: Chicago’s Pizza is a small restaurant chain consisting of three locations in Lakeview/Lincoln Park, Ravenswood and Old Irving Park. They offer dine-in, delivery and take-out and I’ve always found their food to be consistent as well as a really good meal. As a bonus, they also offer coupons!

Currently the Chicago’s Pizza coupons include free Coca-Cola products for making a purchase (the free item gets larger as the total of your order rises – i.e. 1-liter, 2-liter or 6-pack), free wings with purchase and more. Those are currently valid at all locations, but there are others that seem to be good at each specific Chicago’s Pizza location. The Old Irving Park restaurant is currently offering a free small thin crust pizza when you sign up for their points program! The points program is a loyalty program that will earn you additional points for placing orders online or referring friends. Eventually your points will earn you free food!

If you haven’t tried Chicago’s Pizza yet, I highly recommend it. I’m a huge proponent of stuffed pizza, but I can vouch for their thin crust as well, so you won’t be sorry! Whatever you do, be sure to also take advantage of the Chicago’s Pizza coupons when you order!

Chicago Cubs Rooftop Tickets Discount!

Chicago Cubs Rooftop Tickets Discount!

If you are a Chicagoan, there are strict rules about which baseball team you are allowed to root for. If you are a Northsider, you’re a Chicago Cubs fan. If you’re a Southsider, you’re a Chicago White Sox fan. If you’re in another city and either of our teams is playing, you root for them no matter which one it is. It’s an unwritten rule, but a rule nonetheless! There are some crossover fans, but for the most part they make apologies for their loyalty (i.e. “Yes, I know I live in Lincoln Square, but I love the Sox! I can’t help it!”)

Arguably when you go to a game, some of the most fun seats to sit in are the rooftop seats. These are bleachers that are not actually in Wrigley Field, but on the rooftops of the buildings around Wrigley Field. Admission is often cheaper and you get a bird’s eye view from above. It’s a lot of fun!

Chicago Cubs Rooftop Tickets Discount: If you have been looking for a way to experience the Rooftop seats yourself, this is a great option! Groupon is running a deal where you can get Chicago Cubs Rooftop Tickets (with unlimited food and refreshments) for $69 during a variety of dates. If you’ve never done it before, this will allow you to experience Chicago in a whole new way.

Chicago Magazine Subscription Deal

One of my favorite magazine subscriptions is Chicago Magazine. Not only does it give you a roundup of great activities, restaurants and events in your area, but it usually covers something very specific and relevant to Chicagoland. You will see articles on the top doctors, the list of the best high-schools and elementary schools, the best hospitals, the best burgers and so much more! I am among the many who waits each year to find out where my children’s schools fall on the list in Chicago Magazine because we all know that some of our public schools are better than others. It’s incredibly helpful to get these lists and – even better – have them delivered to your door each month!

For a limited time you can get a Chicago Magazine subscription deal! Through the end of the day 3/16, Entertaining Chicago readers can use coupon code ENTCHICAGO on the Discount Mags site to get a new subscription or renewal of Chicago Magazine for only $4.99 per year! I will be renewing my subscription at this price and I hope that you can take advantage of the savings as well!

Chicago Wolves Hockey Game Deals!

Chicago Wolves Hockey Game deals: One of the more unique things about Chicago is the number of sports teams that we have. Chicago is one of the few cities that has one or multiple football, baseball, hockey, basketball and other sports teams, so there is always a game to go to. That being said, it can be EXTREMELY expensive to go to a live game – any game. That is why I try to take advantage of Chicago Wolves Hockey Game deals when I see them! I love watching live hockey (my brother used to play), but between the cost and scheduling, the Blackhawks can be tough to go out and see live. Wolves games are fun, eventful and a great option for the cost conscious.

For a limited time, you can get Chicago Wolves Hockey Game Deals on four different dates and at two different times. Tickets are only $13.50, down from $21.75. That means that you can take a family of four for only $54 – far less than the cost of one ticket to see the Hawks or any other team!
