It s common to see generations of one family kids, parents, grandparents at the show. All types of clothing are represented. Others come directly from work and end up at the theatre in business casual, casual or even jeans. Always aim for arriving at least thirty minutes before the show begins. The theatre doors will not open until thirty minutes before the show starts, but you can browse the merchandise and enjoy concessions in the lobby until the doors to the theatre open.
Some shows hold latecomers as long as twenty minutes after the curtain raises.
This isn't intended as cruel to the latecomer, it is to respect the attention of those patrons who arrived early or on time. This is a very common policy for Performing Arts Theatres all over the country. Some venues, such as arenas or outdoor amphitheaters, will sometimes allow children under the age of two to sit on the accompanying adults lap.
