Weekend tickets to "Wicked" in Chicago, $100 each. Hotel room in the Loop, $180. Parking, $35. Dinner for two at a decent restaurant, $100. Gas for the trip, $50.
Total: $565. Ouch.
Or instead you could see "Chicago" in Champaign at the University of Illinois Assembly Hall. Tickets, approximately $40 each, depending on the touring Broadway show. Hotel stay, not necessary. Parking, included in the price of the series tickets. Dinner for two at a decent restaurant, $65. Gas for the trip across town, $4 (if that).
