RENT 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR Announces Ticket Lotto for Broadway In Detroit

Broadway In Detroit today announced that seats in the first two rows of the main floor will be available for $20 for every performance of RENT, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical playing at the Fisher Theatre, March 21 - 26, 2017.

Two and one-half hours prior to each performance, people who present themselves at the Fisher Theatre will have their names placed in a lottery drum; thirty minutes later, names will be drawn for a limited number of main floor seats at $20 each, cash only. This lottery is available only in-person at the Fisher Theatre, with a limit of two tickets per person. Lottery participants must have a valid photo ID when submitting their entry form and, if chosen, when purchasing tickets.

The tradition of the $20 tickets began in 1996 in New York when the show moved to Broadway after a sold-out run in a small downtown theatre. The producers of the show are committed to continuing the tradition of offering main floor seats for $20 in each city the show will play.

RENT 20th Anniversary Tour will appear March 21 - 26, 2017 at the Fisher Theatre, located at 3011 West Grand Blvd., in Detroit. Performance dates and times are:

· Tuesday through Saturday evening performances at 8:00 p.m.

· Sunday evening performance at 7:30 p.m.

· Saturday & Sunday matinee at 2:00 p.m.

· Special open caption performance on Thursday, March 23 at 8:00 p.m.
