"Rent" comes to Sacramento

From California Musical Theatre

FIRST ROW ORCHESTRA SEATS FOR
"RENT: THE BROADWAY TOUR"
AVAILABLE FOR $23
DAY OF PERFORMANCE ONLY
AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER THEATER BOX OFFICE


Seats in the first row of the orchestra will be made available for $23 for every performance of "RENT: The Broadway Tour," the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical, at the Sacramento Community Center Theater, 1301 L Street. The $23 tickets go on sale at the Community Center Theater 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.

"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 low priced 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 front row tickets. The producers of the show are committed to continuing the tradition of offering orchestra seats for a low price in each city the show will play.

"RENT: The Broadway Tour" makes its Sacramento return at the Community Center Theater, February 3-7, 2010. Rent is a special addition to the Broadway Sacramento season, presented by California Musical Theatre. The $23 tickets are available at the Community Center Theater box office, 1301 L Street, only. The price of the ticket includes a $3 facility fee.
