A limited number of seats in the front two rows of the orchestra section will be made available for $20 for each performance of RENT, the Pulitzer Prize® and Tony Award®-winning musical, at Victorian Theatre April 3 and 4. The $20 tickets go on sale at the Schuster Center box office, 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.
"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,"Â explained 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."Â
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 a reduced price in each city RENT is at the Schuster Center for two performances only, April 3 and 4 at 8 p.m. each night. The $20 tickets
