I Have a large friend will he be able to fit in a seat ? Or is there seating for larger people?

Monica pouliot | Sep 25, 2018
gail torkilsen | Sep 25, 2018

The seats are small. Over 225 lbs will be uncomfortable. No knee room for tall people either.

Jamie Greco | Mar 28, 2022
Geoff Pender | Mar 28, 2022

You would have to know someone working on the show. Unless a principal is out with illness/injury understudies, typically, only go on for weekday and matinee shows. That being said, try and get tickets for evening/weekend shows.

Hank Sabian | Dec 28, 2021

There are washrooms on the balcony level but the space was small. There are washrooms downstairs that are spacious and plentiful. The advice given previously is sound advice and you should call ahead.
