A limited number of $30 tickets for the Tony-winning British musical “Six” will be available for the first three weeks of the show’s Colorado run, according to Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
The nonprofit, Denver-based theater giant on Monday announced a ticket lottery for the popular musical, whose Dec. 5-24 performances have already hit the “limited capacity” phase. That means each scheduled show has only a handful of seats left for sale, ranging from $45 to $155 per ticket.
In most cases, it’s literally one or two close-to-stage seats per show, as well as a few dozen in the back three or four rows of the balcony at the Buell Theatre.
Here’s how you can get a leg up, according to the show’s producers:
Make sure you’re eligible: you must be 18 years or older and have a valid, non-expired photo ID that matches your name to enter.
Make a Lucky Seat account if you don’t already have one; visit luckyseat.com to sign up. Producers will use that site to choose winners.
Watch your inbox carefully, since winners have a limited window to claim and buy tickets. Entrants who have been selected can buy one or two tickets at $30 each.
The entry window for each week will close at 9:30 a.m. five days before the performances. That means entries for Week 1 shows (Dec. 5-10) need to be in by the morning of Dec. 1, with Week 2 (Dec. 12-17) on Dec. 8, and Week 3 (Dec. 19-24) on Dec. 15.
DCPA materials describe “Six” as a modern take on the wives of Henry VIII: “From Tudor queens to pop icons, the SIX wives of Henry VIII take the microphone to remix five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a Euphoric Celebration of 21st-century girl power,” according to press materials.
The musical has won a pair of Tony awards and is currently touring the English-speaking world, including dates in the U.S., Canada, England and Australia. The show is recommended for ages 10 and up, DCPA officials wrote; children under 5 are not permitted in the Buell.
