Just in time for holiday shopping season, tickets for the live show begin at $29 plus fees and will be available for presale starting on Thursday, November 11 at 11:00am. ET via Ticketmaster.  Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 12 at 12:00pm. ET via Ticketmaster and will also be available at the Prudential Center Box Office starting Monday, November 15 at 11:00am ET, should seats remain.
