elcome to the Orpheum <strong>Theatre</strong> for Blue Man Group,<br />
wrapping up <strong>Hennepin</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> <strong>Trust</strong>’s current Broadway<br />

rhythms to audiences young and old. On behalf of the <strong>Trust</strong>, I’m<br />
delighted to welcome you to the first theatrical tour of this popular<br />

Book of Mormon, the 2011 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical, and War Horse, the 2011 Tony<br />

direct from New York! Beginning in October with Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the season also<br />
includes Catch Me If You Can, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Flashdance and Disney and<br />

is strictly prohibited.<br />
CANCELLATIONS • For one night events, please check the event description<br />
for postponements or cancellations.<br />
CELLULAR PHONES AND PAGERS • The ringing of cellular phones or<br />

be turned off or turned to vibrate mode while at the theatre. If necessary,<br />
a cellular phone or pager can be monitored by the Event Manager.<br />
CHILDREN • Children under the age of six are encouraged to attend the<br />
theatres only for special children’s events. Everyone entering the theatre<br />

a special occasion.<br />

during performances when seat locations are known. Persons expecting<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 />
WEATHER • In cases of inclement weather, most shows will go on as<br />
scheduled. Visit our website for the show you are scheduled to attend or<br />
call the box office at 612.339.7007 for the latest updates.<br />
