If you need to collect tickets on the day of a show, please arrive at least 15 minutes before the show starts so you have plenty of time to collect your tickets and take your seats.

You must present your ticket to the usher at the door leading into the theatre.
Seats in the CIRCLE are located upstairs. Seats in the STALLS are located downstairs.
Once you are inside the theatre and usher will show you to your seat.
If you have a General Admission ticket, you may choose where you would like to sit when you enter the theatre.
Small Children and Babies:
For some shows, babies are admitted for free as long as they sit on your lap during the performance.
Each show has a "Babes in Arms" policy - please check the show information or ask at the Box Office for details.
All Babes in Arms must still have a ticket to enter the theatre. This is a free ticket that is issued by the Box Office,
so please make sure you collect your complimentary Babes in Arms ticket before entering the theatre.
Please ask if you would like a cushion for a small child who is sitting on their own seat.
