Tips & Advice
- Buy through Ticketmaster, since that is the only place the theatre sells tickets online, and choose a matinee if an evening show runs late for your family.
- Leave children under four at home, because they are not allowed in the auditorium and every guest, including small kids, must have their own seat.
- Give a heads-up to anyone sensitive to strobe-like lighting, sudden loud noises or stage fog, since this production uses all three.
- If you plan to buy at the door, arrive early because walk-up sales open only 45 minutes before curtain.
- UT students should use the dedicated UT student ticket link instead of buying a regular single ticket.
