Tips & Advice

Leave children 3 and under at home, since the show isn't recommended for them and every attendee of any age needs a ticket.
Plan on about two hours at the theater, including a 20-minute intermission, when you book dinner or a babysitter around the show.
Gather 10 or more family members, classmates or coworkers to buy as a group, because groups save and 25-plus tickets earn an artist Q&A.
Choose Platinum seats if you want a behind-the-scenes Q&A with a company dancer plus curated merchandise and 2026 tour keepsakes.
Military members and first responders should look at the GovX ticket option before buying regular tickets for the show.
