So if you want to snap a photo of your Playbill, take it before the show starts! (See below)ĥ. It’s unlawful and distracting to the performers. No photography or recording is permitted during the performance. You can also find great recommendations for restaurants in the area for a post-show drink or snack.Ĥ. You’ll also learn: how many acts are in the show, if there is an intermission and how long it will last and any last-minute cast changes.
Sometimes the director includes a note that contextualizes what you’re about to see. Read over your Playbill for performance information. Ask uniformed employees at the main door to the theatre about which line is which so that you don’t waste time.ģ. Typically, one line covers attendees who have their tickets in hand and one line covers box office (or “will call”) for people who need to pick up their tickets on site. When you arrive at the theatre, join the correct line. More and more shows are not allowing late seating, which means you’ll have to watch the show on a monitor in the lobby until intermission (or for the length of the show if it’s only one act).Ģ. The line outside the theatre may actually be quite long at this point, so it’s not a problem to come later, so long as you arrive before the printed time on your ticket. You can certainly arrive then, get settled, buy merchandise-but it’s not necessary. Ticketholders gain access to the theatre one half hour before the start of the performance. “It always warms my heart when I go out the stage door and I see some kid wearing a bow tie and a jacket or dressed as a character from the play because they heard about it before.” (Side note: Theatres can be cold, so you may wish to bring a sweater.) “To see people dressing up for the singular event of a Broadway show just is the most glorious thing,” says actor Jefferson Mays. Tuxedos and gowns are no longer the norm, but think of what you might wear to a dinner.
However, Broadway can be a special occasion.

There is no official dress code to attend a Broadway show, meaning you won’t be turned away from a theatre for dressing too casually.
