Planning tips

Make it a great night

A few practical moves that make Broadway (and tours) smoother—especially on weekends and during discount promos.

  • Seats: check sightlines + overhang notes (rear mezz can be sneaky-good)
  • Timing: arrive 30–45 min early for security + restrooms
  • Deals stack: Broadway Week + lotteries/rush = backup plan if your first choice sells out
  • Policies: confirm late seating, bag rules, and photo/video restrictions
  • Accessibility: look up assisted listening, step-free routes, and transfer seats ahead of time
