Tickets for the 8 P.M. were offered on a firs-come first serve basis and the line grew unruly around 6 P.M., roughly three hours after the line began to form.

Monday’s free show was the first free show Fox Theatre has put out in five years.
“This is the reason we normally don’t do free shows,” Operational Manager of Fox Theatre Brian Carp said.
