Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 45 minutes before the show to allow ample time for parking, concessions, and finding your seat without rushing.
- Consider attending the 'Broadway Buzz' pre-show talk, held one hour before the performance in the Upper Allen, for insights into the show's production.
- Check the venue's website for the most up-to-date information on ticket availability and pricing, as third-party sellers can be unreliable.
- Dress comfortably, as Playhouse Square is a welcoming venue for all attire. However, consider the type of performance; a jazz concert might be more casual than a formal theater production.
- If you require wheelchair assistance or need to be dropped off, pull up in front of the theater, and a RedCoat volunteer will be available to help.
