I love taking my family to the theater. It's one of our holiday traditions. I complained earlier this week about the cost of seeing the jollet Ballet dance the Nutracker, but found a host of other, more affordable productions we may consider.

Today, my friends at Travelzoo.com sent notice of a some half-price tickets to see "South Pacific" at the Rosemont Theatre. It's not a Christmas tradition in my house, but it might be in yours. Here are the details:

Select Balcony and Floor seats are $29.75 (reg. $59.50) and Orchestra seats are $39.75 (reg. $79.50).

This offer is good for these performances:
- Tuesday, Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. (Balcony & Floor only)
- Wednesday, Nov. 25 at 2 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.
- Friday, Nov. 27 at 2 p.m.
