Loving Every Minute of Blue Man Group



A few months ago I attended Blue Man Group with my 12 year old son. We were fortunate to have seats just behind the splash zone. 

He loved every minute of it. And I loved seeing the excitement and joy on his face. 

He thought it was great to be blasted by paper, so he  saved every bit of paper he could get his hands on, wrapping himself in it like clothing. We probably looked very odd walking down the street after that, but he was happy. 

The teenage years of indifference are just around the corner, so I savored the moment.

A Treasured Keepsake from Cats



When we took our three daughters to see Cats at the Fox Cities P.A.C., the tickets were so affordable that we were able to get front row seats right in the center. Our daughters who love dance and drama were so captivated being close enough to see the actor's make-up and the detail of their costumes.  

But the highlight of that afternoon has to be when our youngest daughter received the lapel flower from the cat in white spats during the show. She still has it as a most treasured keepsake. 

She asked for the DVD of Cats soon after we saw the show at the Center. Now she dances and performs for us while watching the DVD and her special flower is always right there with her.

Season Tickets Become Special Memories



Shortly after my daughter, Kimberly, and I moved to Green Bay in 2005, I purchased tickets to see Annie. They were given to her for Christmas.  Probably one of her favorite presents.   

We enjoyed ourselves so much, that the next year I bought us tickets to Jesus Christ Superstar, and then starting the next season, Season Tickets.   

When we were waiting for Elf to start, Kimberly turned to me (she turned 21 on closing day) and said, "I hope that I can have something special like this that I can do with my children some day."

I just love the fact that she is very protective of our "special" time makes the performances so much better. I will continue to buy two Season Tickets so that we can share that time together.

Lucky Day

I had heard so much about the musical WICKED and had just finished reading the book when my dad came home and said he won two tickets to the show. My mom and I went in the middle of a snowstorm and just loved the show. The special effects were amazing and the singers were fantastic.

All the Best Shows

My brother, who lives in Sheboygan, said, "How come all of the best shows I've seen have been  in the Fox Cities P.A.C.?"

He saw The Lion King, Million Dollar Quartet and Blue Man Group.

Exceeded All Expectations


I wanted to see Million Dollar Quartet because Johnny Cash and Elvis songs reminded me of my parents and growing up. 


We rarely get a babysitter and my husband kind of begrudgingly agreed to go with me. The music just blew us away.  I leaned over a couple times and said, "It's like Johnny Cash is RIGHT THERE." The music and personas were so real. It was a great experience and a really fun time together, as we don't get out too much! The show exceeded all expectations!

Entrance 21 with the Grand Kids


I have had many special moments at the Fox Cities P.A.C. but the most enjoyable for me were the times I was able to include the four grandchildren. We were at Entrance 21 for Mary Poppins with the family and they loved it. This year we are back at Entrance 21 for Elf, and the grand kids are very excited. The two older boys, 14 & 15, have been to many shows with us, and it is wonderful that we have that opportunity right here in Appleton.
