Want tickets to the hottest show in town — or in the U.S., even?

Single tickets for the Colorado run of “The Book of Mormon” will go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 22, Denver Center Attractions announced this afternoon.

“The Book of Mormon” will play the Ellie Caulkins Opera House from Aug. 14-Sept. 2, and many tickets have already sold via season ticket packages. But single tickets will go on sale later this month, and the short Denver run is expected to sell out quickly.

Why? Well, the controversial hit musical won nine Tony Awards including musical, score and book. It was penned by hometown heroes (and “South Park” creators) Trey Parker and Matt Stone — with Robert Lopez, of “Avenue Q” fame — and the Denver showing is the debut of the show’s national tour.

So yeah, call early and often.
