For every performance, a limited number of lucky audience members will receive $25 "be-in box" tickets, promising to make their experience of the show both affordable and unique. Limit one entry per person, and two tickets per entry. Winners must be present at the time of the drawing and show valid ID to purchase tickets. Tickets can be purchased from the box office in cash only.

Annaleigh Ashford (Jeanie) is psyched to be letting the sun shine in with this tribe of magical people. Being the momma to be, she wants to send love and ladybugs to her momma and her momma?s momma (who is watching every night up in heaven). Thank you for teaching me love changes everything and letting me love the music and the light. Love to her family in the mountains, her family in the city, her former family in Delt Nu, and her former family in OZ. Love to her love of loves and love to Breedlove. Yip yip yip to Annie Golden. “Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.” Jude 1:2.
