PLAN YOUR VISIT
Seeing a Show
The time on your ticket is the show start time. We encourage you to arrive at the theatre in good time so you can relax, get yourself some refreshments, and take your seat without rushing.
Watching the Show
Please remain in your seat for the duration of your performance. We are a seated venue, and tickets are sold as such. Please be mindful of the people around you who may not be able to stand if you choose to enjoy part of the performance on your feet. Dancing in your seat is encouraged! If you need to leave the auditorium for any reason, we will readmit you to your seat at a safe and appropriate point in the show.
Anti-social behaviour towards our staff or the cast members on stage will not be tolerated – we ask that we all play our own part in ensuring that the performance runs safely and everyone has a fantastic experience!
