The Book of Mormon, winner of nine Tony Awards including Best Musical, has announced a lottery ticket policy for the National Tour, which plays The Ellie Caulkins Opera House from Aug. 11 through Sept. 13. In Denver, the production will conduct a pre-show lottery at The Ellie, making a limited number of tickets available for every performance at $25 apiece.

The wildly popular lottery for the Broadway production has attracted as many as 800 entries at some performances. The producers of The Book of Mormon are pleased to offer low-priced lottery seats for every city on the National Tour.  

The Book of Mormon broke house records during the last Denver engagement in 2013 and currently holds the all-time record at The Buell Theatre for the highest weekly gross (for an eight-show performance week) for the week ending Nov. 17, 2013, during which the show grossed $1,993,690.00. The Book of Mormon also broke house records week after week during the three-week national tour launch engagement in fall 2012 and currently holds the all-time record at The Ellie for the highest weekly gross (for an eight-show performance week) for the week ending Sept. 2, 2012, during which the show grossed $1,443,977. In addition, The Book of Mormon currently holds the all-time single-ticket on-sale record for The Denver Center for the Performing Arts with more than 38,000 tickets sold on June 10, 2013. The record was previously held by the 2012 on-sale for the national tour launch.
