Helpful planning tips

  • It’s a nearly three‑hour night once you include curtain time, intermission, and exiting the theatre.
  • Some audience reports note that evening performances can start a bit late and wrap up around 10:20–10:30 p.m. for a 7:30 p.m. start, so don’t cut post‑show plans too close.
  • There is a pre‑show immersive “Kit Kat Club” atmosphere, so arriving early (up to 45–75 minutes before) is recommended if you want that full experience.
