Tips & Advice

  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime, especially for the family matinees, to find parking and get settled.
  • Consider purchasing tickets for the family matinee performances if attending with very young children for a shorter, more engaging experience.
  • Check the specific cast schedule for each performance if you have a favorite dancer you wish to see.
  • Dress comfortably, but consider a festive touch to enhance the holiday spirit of the performance.
  • Book tickets in advance, as popular performance dates, especially the family matinees, tend to sell out quickly.
