Durham Performing Arts Center Welcomes Six Millionth Guest
Six millionth guest receives tickets to every Broadway show through July 2024.
Last night, DPAC welcomed its six millionth guest at a performance of Broadway's most electrifying new musical, MJ. In celebration of DPAC reaching this attendance milestone, the six millionth guest received tickets to all ten of the hit Broadway shows that are a part of the Truist Broadway at DPAC and WRAL's Greatest Hits of Broadway seasons thru July 2024.
DPAC staff were on site to count each guest entering the building and then greet and celebrate with the six millionth guest. DPAC's “extra special guest” passed through the entry doors at approximately 6:40 PM.
Since opening in 2008, DPAC has presented over 2,800 events including Broadway's biggest hits, legendary concert artists, and the top comedians in the world. 1,300 of these events have been total sellouts, including almost all performances of DPAC's signatures series, Truist Broadway at DPAC, one of the top Broadway series in the U.S.
In addition, over the last decade, DPAC has continuously been ranked among the top ten theaters in the U.S. for ticket sales and attendance based on reports by leading national publications that cover live entertainment events and venues.
Since its opening in 2008, DPAC (Durham Performing Arts Center) has become the center for live entertainment in North Carolina.
