Tickets are U.S.$12.00-U.S.$18.00 and can be purchased online at TicketWeb.

(Interestingly TicketWeb says how Paul Gordon, the composer, got his inspiration: while browsing through a paperback kiosk at the Los Angeles airport on New Year's Day, 1991. He was immediately intrigued by the Gothic overtones of Charlotte Bronte's classic love story.)

Go on, what are you waiting for?
