Ticket lottery for 'Mormon'
Fans of the Tony Award-winning musical “The Book of Mormon” will have one last chance to get tickets for the show's sold-out March 10-15 run in Madison.
A pre-show lottery will be conducted in the Overture Center for the Arts lobby, 201 State St., about 2½ hours before each performance. Participants should print their names and number of tickets they want (up to two) on cards, which will be drawn at random for a limited number of $25 tickets.
Only one entry is allowed per person. Winners must attend the drawing, which takes place two hours before showtime, and must carry valid IDs.
