Insider tips

Arrive early to navigate the lobby crowds, as foyer space can become congested before popular shows.

Check the official website for age recommendations, as some evening comedy shows are strictly for adult audiences.

Select seats in the center rows for the best acoustic balance, as the front rows may be too close to the stage speakers.

What to avoid

Avoid arriving exactly at the showtime, as late entry is strictly controlled and may result in having to wait for an intermission to be seated.

Good to know

Programmed primarily on weekends; typically dark on weekdays unless hosting private events or special midweek premieres.

Etiquette

Business casual dress is standard for evening performances; avoid overly casual loungewear.
