Lottery opens for sold-out ‘The Book of Mormon’

WILMINGTON — The Wilson Center is welcoming the Broadway tour of the nine-time Tony Award-winning “The Book of Mormon” next week. The show is sold-out.

However, for those who didn’t procure tickets, an opportunity is now open to score a pair for $25 each. The lottery is open through Sunday, Feb. 5; entry forms can be accessed here.

Interested parties 18 and older can enter for all three performances, but can only submit one entry each for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday shows. Multiple entries for a single performance will be removed, according to the Wilson Center’s rules of entry.

The tickets cannot be transferred and are not eligible for resale. Employees of the Wilson Center at Cape Fear Community College are ineligible.

The drawing will take place Monday, Feb. 6, 11 a.m. Winners will be notified via phone and have two hours to purchase the tickets before another winner is selected.

The musical comedy, first staged in 2011, comes from the creators of “South Park,” with music, lyrics, and book by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone. The play is a satirical examination of the beliefs and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

It also won five Drama Desk awards, four Outer Critics Circle awards and one Grammy.
