A limited amount of seats in the first two rows of the orchestra will be made available for $20 for every performance of “RENT: The Broadway Tour,” the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical, at The Colonial Theatre in Boston July 14 - 26. The $20 tickets go on sale at The Colonial Theatre box office (see below) on the day of performance only, two hours prior to the show and are available to anyone (first come, first served), cash only, with a limit of one ticket 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 $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” returns to Boston for a two-week run at The Colonial Theatre July 14 - 26. The $20 tickets are available only at The Colonial Theatre box office located at 106 Boylston Street, Boston.
