“DAZZLING AND HILARIOUS!”

Direct from Broadway, Mean Girls is the hilarious hit musical from an award-winning creative team, including book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde), and original director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon). Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naïve newbie falls prey to a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung. New York Magazine cheers, “Mean Girls delivers with immense energy, a wicked sense of humor and joyful inside-jokery.” USA Today says, “We’ll let you in on a little secret, because we’re such good friends: GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!”

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, the world’s foremost all-male comic ballet company, brings its internationally beloved troupe of dancers to Bloomington as part of its landmark 50th anniversary season, featuring gems from the company’s groundbreaking repertoire. Founded in New York City in 1974, the company, affectionately known as the Trocks, has grown from its roots in late-late shows in off-off Broadway lofts to become a global touring sensation, performing from Tokyo to Toronto and everywhere in between. The company dances with razor-sharp wit and breathtaking pointe work, performing polished parodies of works that span the classical ballet canon. Revered by ballet aficionados as well as by those who don’t know a plié from a jeté, the Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals.” (Sydney Star Observer)

FAQs CAN I ORDER TICKETS ONLINE? Yes, once again in 2023–2024, online ordering via IUauditorium.com is the best way to subscribe or purchase tickets and provides you the opportunity to select your own seats. If you’d prefer that our box office select your seats for you, that is still an option. Please call us at (812) 855-1103 or email at tickets@indiana.edu to let the box office know you’d prefer your seats be selected for you. HOW DO I BECOME A SUBSCRIBER? You can become a subscriber by purchasing at least one ticket to five or more event titles. New subscribers can begin purchasing their tickets to the 2023–2024 season on June 26. Along with other benefits, becoming a subscriber is one way to increase your Loyalty Points total—helping you get the best available seats. Patrons who wish not to purchase at least five events may purchase tickets as part of an exclusive season pre-order period taking place July 31–August 13. During this time, ticket buyers may purchase tickets at subscriber prices (savings of up to 15%). Single ticket prices go into effect August 14. WHAT IF I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW THE ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION PROCESS WORKS? Visit IUauditorium.com/Subscribe for information on how to purchase your subscription, or if you’d prefer that our box office select your seats for you, that is still an option. Please call us at (812) 855-1103 or email us at tickets@indiana.edu to let the box office know you’d prefer your seats be selected for you. CAN I PURCHASE MY SUBSCRIPTION USING THE TICKETMASTER APP? IU Auditorium season tickets are available for purchase through IUauditorium.com. You can purchase on your mobile device using an interactive seat map if you prefer, but tickets are only available to purchase and manage at IUauditorium.com. WHAT ARE LOYALTY POINTS AND HOW DO I EARN THEM? Loyalty Points are earned through subscription and donation history with IU Auditorium and are how we reward our loyal patrons with better seating options.

Orders by Loyalty Points-holding patrons are made before new subscriptions and the general public in descending order—meaning the greater number of points you have, the sooner you’ll get to select your seats. For more specifics on our Loyalty Points system, please visit IUauditorium.com/Loyalty or call the Box Office at (812) 855-1103. WHAT IF I EXCHANGE A TICKET FOR DIFFERENT TICKET OF HIGHER VALUE? If a ticket is exchanged for that of a higher value, you will be charged the difference in price. WHAT KINDS OF ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES ARE OFFERED BY THE AUDITORIUM? We strive to accommodate all of our guests. If you require special accommodation, including wheelchair-accessible seating, amplification headsets, large-print or braille programs, audio description, or ASL services, please contact our box office at (812) 855-1103. Also, space in front of IU Auditorium around Showalter Fountain has been designated as accessible parking for those with state-issued disability tags. For more information on our accessibility offerings, please contact our box office at (812) 855-1103. HOW DO I ACCESS THE IU BLOOMINGTON STUDENT DISCOUNT? Each IU Bloomington student with a current, valid IUB student ID may redeem one student-priced ticket per event for their personal use. Simply select the student-priced ticket option when purchasing tickets at IUauditorium.com. Although students need not be present at the time of purchase, they will be required to present their student ID upon entry. Those without ID may be asked to return to the Box Office in order to upgrade their ticket for the general public price. I’M A STUDENT, BUT NOT AN IU BLOOMINGTON STUDENT, CAN I STILL RECEIVE A STUDENT DISCOUNT? We’re sorry, but only students enrolled on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University may use a student-priced ticket to gain admission. For our family-friendly shows, the student discount is also extended to children.
DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR MY SUBSCRIPTION ALL AT ONCE? When you become a subscriber by choosing five or more event titles, you are entitled to take advantage of the convenient 50/50 Payment Option in order to secure your great seats. Just check the 50/50 Payment Option box online and 50% of your total subscription order cost plus a $10 fee will be billed to your credit card when your order is received. The remaining 50% will be automatically billed to the same card in August. CAN I PAY BY BURSAR BILLING ONLINE AND OVER THE PHONE? Yes. As an IUB student, you may charge tickets to your bursar account. HOW DO I PAY USING IU PAYROLL DEDUCTION? The minimum order for IU payroll deductions is $100 and all orders using this method must be received by August 31, 2023. Payroll deduction is not available for online ordering. Any payroll deduction orders must be made over the phone or in person.
