Boffo ticket sales have a lot to do with that quick turnaround in booking: Last week's record-breaking gross alone topped out at $1,993,690, and that's an astonishing number of smackeroos in Denver, even for a show that's been tipping the scales everywhere it goes.So here's the scoop: An online-only exclusive pre-sale opens today at 10 a.m. for subscribers and American Express Card-holders; at 10 a.m. on Monday, November 25 -- the day after the current run ends -- sales will open to the general public, also at 10 a.m. Tickets start at $35 and sales are limited to eight per household; purchase online or by calling 303-893-4100. Get 'em while you can -- even almost two years later, Mormon will surely remain the town's hottest ticket.
And if you're still hoping to catch the current run, remember that there's a lottery for seats before every performance. Go to the Buell box office at the Denver Performing Arts Complex two and a half hours before the show and turn in your name; two hours before the performance, the winning names will be drawn. Winners can claim one or two tickets; they're each $25 and you have to pay for them on the spot -- but the seats are great. This is the best deal in town.
