Feeling Wicked?
The Wizard of Oz is one of the most beloved stories of all time, but have you ever wondered what happened before Dorothy arrived in the fantastical Land of Oz? Gregory Maguire’s novel, Wicked, is a prequel that tells that story of two young girls, one gorgeous and the other one green, who would one day become the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda the Good Witch of the North. This fascinating novel is now a hit Broadway show and from July 23rd to August 17th the theatre production of Wicked will be playing at the Jubilee Auditorium. Tickets go on sale May 5th.

Chefly
As part of the City Palate’s 20 for 20 events this year, YYC’s favourite foodie magazine has partnered with the Calgary Folk Festival and the Calgary Underground Film Festival to create a unique collection of silent film shorts featuring talented local chefs. While the films play there will be live music to accompany each reel. Following the screening, guests are invited to stick around for snacks and refreshments that were referenced in the film. The screening will take place on May 7th at Festival Hall.
Lady Gaga
Miss Gaga will be bringing her crazy energy and one-of-a-kind presence to the Scotiabank Saddledome on May 25. This hit maker and superstar diva will be stopping through on her artRave tour, which is sure to keep the crowd pumped up with over-the-top costumes and brilliant sets. Tickets won’t be around for much longer and it would be a shame to miss such an epic performance that will have people talking for months.
