MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA<br />
WWW.PLAYBILL.COM
S<br />
o you think you can dance We welcome you to the<br />
Orpheum <strong>Theatre</strong> for <strong>Flashdance</strong>, based on the 1983<br />
feature film starring Jennifer Beals that arguably kicked<br />
off the dance film and later the reality TV craze. This musical<br />
features all of the movie’s hit songs including the Academy<br />
Award-winning title song “<strong>Flashdance</strong>-What a Feeling,”<br />
“Maniac,” “Gloria” and “Manhunt” plus 16 new songs written<br />
for the stage. <strong>Hennepin</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> <strong>Trust</strong> is proud to bring you the<br />
Minnesota debut of this energetic new production.<br />
With shows like <strong>Flashdance</strong>, the <strong>Trust</strong> attracts nearly 500,000<br />
visitors like you to <strong>Hennepin</strong> Avenue every year. These are the<br />
patrons who fill downtown restaurants, shop, spend the night at<br />
hotels and enliven our streets. The resulting economic impact is<br />
in the tens of millions of dollars each year for downtown<br />
Minneapolis. Additionally, local workers are employed by the theatres in our box office, at the<br />
concession areas, as ushers and in the backstage operation and production of local and<br />
touring shows.<br />
If you think your company would like to participate in maintaining and improving a vibrant<br />
and dynamic downtown Minneapolis, please consider joining us as a corporate partner.<br />
Partnerships are now available for the <strong>Trust</strong>’s new 2013-14 Broadway Season, which includes<br />
the Minnesota debuts of Once, winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best Musical, Peter and the<br />
Starcatcher, winner of five 2012 Tony Awards, and such enduring classics and audience favorites<br />
as Wicked, The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables. Customized sponsorships for our<br />
education and community engagement programs, which honor and support young people<br />
and deepen the theatre experience for all patrons, are also available. In addition, the New<br />
Century <strong>Theatre</strong>, our flexible use performance space located on the ground floor of City<br />
Center, offers an incredible array of live theatre and can host your next production, meeting<br />
or special event.<br />

a special occasion.<br />

engage audiences of all ages through a variety of educational and outreach<br />
programs. Visit our website to learn more.<br />

emergency messages are asked to leave their seat locations in<br />
advance with the calling party and with the Box Office upon arrival.<br />
EXCHANGES • Tickets may be exchanged to another performance of<br />
the same show in person at the box office at least 24 hours prior to the<br />
currently scheduled performance. Exchanges are subject to availability,<br />
and are assessed a $5.00 per ticket exchange fee. If the patron exchanges<br />
into a more expensive performance, they must pay the difference<br />
in ticket price. There is no refund for exchanging into a less<br />
expensive performance. There are NO exchanges on Group Sales or<br />
Comp tickets.<br />

SECONDARY TICKET MARKET • Consumer Warning - the State,<br />
Orpheum and Pantages <strong>Theatre</strong>s use bar code scanning for ticket admissions.<br />
As a result, patrons should be careful when purchasing tickets<br />
and should make sure the seller is a State, Orpheum or Pantages<br />
<strong>Theatre</strong> licensed contractor, otherwise, you may be purchasing a ticket<br />
that is invalid and will be denied admission.<br />
Ticketmaster is the ONLY authorized ticketing agent outside of the State <strong>Theatre</strong><br />
Box Office. If you purchase tickets from an unauthorized agent in the<br />
secondary market (Scalper, Ticket Broker, eBay, Craigslist, etc.), you risk<br />
purchasing counterfeit or invalid tickets. If you wish to purchase tickets from<br />
the secondary market, we encourage the use of TicketExchange.<br />
TicketExchange is Ticketmaster’s online service that enables premium<br />
and fan-to-fan transactions. Only Ticketmaster can guarantee<br />
100% legitimate secondary market tickets, because the tickets<br />
sold through TicketExchange are linked to Ticketmaster’s barcoded<br />
ticketing systems. Visit our website for more information on TicketExchange.<br />
SEATING • Guests arriving after the start of the performance will be<br />
seated at the discretion of management, in accordance to the wishes of<br />
the performing company. These times vary with each production. Please<br />
plan to allow plenty of time for parking.<br />
SMOKING • The State, Orpheum & Pantages <strong>Theatre</strong>s & their lobbies<br />
are entirely smoke-free.<br />
TICKETS • Tickets can be purchased in person at the State <strong>Theatre</strong> Box<br />
Office, by phone through the Ticketmaster Artsline, online through Ticketmaster.com<br />
or through Ticketmaster outlets.<br />
GROUP SALES • Bringing your group to the <strong>Hennepin</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> District WEATHER • In cases of inclement weather, most shows will go on as<br />
is easy! Our standard group minimum is 15 people, but may vary with scheduled. Visit our website for the show you are scheduled to attend or<br />
each performance.<br />
