Arvada Center Extends EVITA Through 5/24, Tickets For Extended Dates On Sale Now

Due to unprecedented advance ticket sales, the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities is extending the run of EVITA through May 24, 2009. Tickets for the extension went on sale Friday, April 24, 2009.

To date, ticket sales for EVITA have topped the $465,596 mark, setting a new record on total revenue for a show in this time-slot of the season. EVITA marks the second show this theater season to extend--"Les Misérables" was extended last fall. "Mame" was the only other show in the history of the Arvada Center to extend, back in December, 1995.

"With Memorial Day weekend right around the corner, many are simply preparing to stay near home and planning local adventures with friends and family. Why not escape to Argentina for a few hours, without leaving Arvada?" states Gene Sobczak, Executive Director of the Arvada Center.

Ticket prices will not be increased for the extension and the extension week schedule will remain the same as the previous weeks--Tuesday through Saturday evening performances at 7:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m. and Wednesday matinees at 1:00 p.m.

The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities is one of the nation's largest cultural attractions, devoted to all aspects of the arts and generously supported by the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).
