"With shows including an evening with comedians Steve Martin and Martin Short, Broadway smashes "RENT" "The Color Purple" and "Finding Neverland," performances by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Bobby McFerrin and Travis Tritt, and many other top acts, buying early is the best way to ensure you don't miss out," said Todd Holmberg, McCain Auditorium executive director.
