Coming to Philly this Weekend (Philadelphia: theater, tickets, place)

[SaraSatin]

My husband and I are coming to Philly this weekend for a family thing. However, we'll be there from Saturday morning until Monday night. I know the Phillies aren't in town, but does anyone know of anything happening maybe Saturday afternoon or late evening, or even Monday during the day? My husband is from Philly and I'm still learning, so I thought it would be fun to surprise him by making plans myself for something fun to do.

The dog days of August is a slow period for events in Philly. Check Welcome to gophila.com -- the Official Visitor Site for Greater Philadelphia for an events calendar. There should be concerts at the Mann Center and Wicked is at the Academy of Music if you're into musical theater. Also take a look at PhillyFunGuide: Philadelphia Cultural Events and Organizations - phillyfunguide.com

Thanks! That's what I needed.

Getting tickets for Wicked is just about impossible.

That's what I figured, but I'll take a look anyway.

If you manage to get tickets, be aware they are probably obstructed views.

Whatever you do, have fun. Welcome to gophila.com -- the Official Visitor Site for Greater Philadelphia is a good place to get ideas.
