RENT Offers $20 Discount Rush Tickets, Playing 6/9-6/14 At Buell Theatre

Thirty front center seats in the orchestra of the Buell Theatre will be made available for $20 for every performance of RENT: The Broadway Tour, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical. The $20 tickets go on sale at the Buell Theatre box office, on the day of performance only, two hours prior to the show and are available to anyone, cash only, with a limit of two tickets per person. Tickets will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.

"In keeping with the spirit of the show and the vision of Jonathan Larson, the show's creator, we are happy to be able to offer prime seats to people who otherwise would not be able to purchase them," said original RENT producer Kevin McCollum. "Jonathan was himself a struggling artist and his dream was to create a universal piece of musical theatre that's available to everyone."

The tradition of the $20 tickets was started in New York when the show moved to Broadway after a sold-out run in a small downtown theatre. Since that time people have lined up as early as the night before to guarantee their purchase of the $20 tickets. The producers of the show are committed to continuing the tradition of offering orchestra seats for $20 in each city the show will play.

RENT: The Broadway Tour makes its Denver return at the Buell Theatre June 9-14. The $20 tickets are available only the day of the show and only at the Buell Theatre box office, located at the Denver Performing Arts Complex at 14th & Curtis Streets.
