DURHAM, N.C. — The popular stage production “The Book of Mormon,” which had 16 performances at the Durham Center for the Performing Arts, helped the venue set new attendance records this season.

DPAC officials said Monday the center’s sixth season offered 179 performances that drew 383,415 ticket-holders. Seventy-six of those performances were sellouts.

Following behind “The Book of Mormon” was “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” which had 10 performances at DPAC. Concert sellouts included Ringo Starr, Alabama, Patti LaBelle and John Legend. Comedians Jay Leno and Chelsea Handler also were sellouts.

“The team here at DPAC is so proud of the attendance benchmarks and accolades that we received this past season. What we value most though, is the real world feedback we hear from our guests," General Manager Bob Klaus said in a statement.
