Tips & Advice
- Get to your seat before the house lights go down, since there's no late seating and latecomers watch from lobby monitors until intermission.
- Add your e-tickets to your phone's digital wallet before you go, because phone service at the venues can be spotty.
- Allow extra travel time when the weather is bad, because performances go on as scheduled and tickets aren't refundable.
- If you're bringing children 12 or younger, look for the performances that offer child discounts when you buy.
- Book as one group if you have 10 or more people for a single performance to get the group discount.
Special Events & Promotions
- Discounts for children 12 and younger at select performances.
- Group discounts for 10 or more people attending one performance and paying together.
