Velour: A Drag Spectacular

Ticket Information

Single tickets are now on sale. La Jolla Playhouse is the only authorized ticket seller for this production.

First Look (previews): Aug 13 – 17
Weeks 2 – 4: Aug 20 – Sep 8

*‘First Look’ performances are the first week of the run of each show prior to opening night (with some exceptions). First Look tickets are lower price and offer the opportunity to experience the show while the creative team are still polishing and making changes. This is a vital element of a show’s evolution, allowing the creative team to step back and see the show through the eyes and experience of the audience. Playhouse staff speak to the audience briefly before the show starts, and the creative team may be seated near you taking notes.
