Just saw (Bruce) first preview on Thursday night. It was great. Totally new. One small tech stoppage. Large cast with all excellent vocals and set designs. Highly recommend seeing it. Can't wait to see it again.

My first time, got to see FLS, great audience and all in all a comfy venue that feels intimate but not claustrophobic. It's located pretty conveniently between the parking garage and the Center House/Plaza area, so food and fountain are an easy walk. Will definitely go back.

Too cultural woke and insulting for my tastes. I will explain why, and for those with similar beliefs please take my information and make your decisions about visiting this venue accordingly. I have enjoyed this theater in the past. They put on interesting plays in a venue that is not too large and not too small. Recently, a well intended friend purchased tickets for one of their plays. (Fannie: The music and life of Fannie Lou Hammer) I was reticent about this play, but in the spirit of friendship for the lady who invited me and a willingness to give the benefit of the doubt I attended a performance. (To a point...) Upon entering the facility, all patrons pass by the signs I have added as an attachment. They are posted prominently. In essence the first part is virtue signaling and the last part is downright insulting. I had to immediately ask myself a few questions about this particular statement. Why post something like this in the first place? Was the staff not like this before and now want people to be clear about their intent? What do they consider socially just, especially in Seattle? Was the CHOP okay? Was the death of a 16 year old acceptable during the riots because it was socially just? Or do they draw the line at simpler things such as promoting the rampant censorship or cancel culture attacking our country. The last part is particularly scary. If a patron does not share the same value the theater reserves the right to move them. Does that apply to Muslims, Christians, liberals, or conservatives who may have a different idea of socially just? For the management of the theater who may read this I would pose this thought experiment. Take the phrase "It is our expectation that all staff, visitors, and patrons comply with this code of conduct..." and replace it with this. "It is our expectation that all staff, visitors, and patrons share our same skin color..." If you find that insulting then please take a moment to think about the message you want to, and are, sending. Something as simple as "Unruly or unlawful behavior will be addressed by the management staff accordingly." is all the theater needs to say if they need to say anything at all. Everyone knows that unruly and unlawful behavior is addressed in places like this. After being put on guard upon seeing this poster I was even more reticent about the play. At the beginning of the play the management made it clear that the theater itself commissioned the play. This was more virtue signaling and a warning of their intent to lecture. I made it about 10 minutes into the play and decided I did not want to spend the night hearing about how white people caused all the problems in the world. Perhaps this is why the theater was mostly empty, devoid of patrons. So my friend and I left and headed to the Armory over by the Space Needle, and lo and behold there was a fantastic event celebrating black culture and music. It was free from judgement, had great music, interesting art on display (eg. Marvels Jean Grey as an elegant black woman) It was packed with people of all ethnic groups who laughed and enjoyed themselves. I will admit that Jack Daniels did sponsor the event, but I think that only helps my case. Give people a good drink, some good, music, some interesting art that arose from an organic movement in our society and we will all treat people fairly. Art is a fickle mistress and one I believe this theater has betrayed. Movies like "Ray" , "Hidden Figures" or "Respect" and musicals like "Rent" or "Hamilton" crossed the boundaries with class and style, and not a single venue I went to had dared to post a sign like the one this theater did.

There is a food court in Seattle Center, stop in there first. I like the restaurant Skillet.
Typically the lobby opens 1 hour prior to show time.
My friend and I felt completely safe. Proof of vaccination is required and there was an empty seat by me. We were not 6ft apart but all were wearing masks as well as being vaccinated.
There is no audience parking at the theater- there is a lot on the Center grounds but it is reserved for staff and guest artists, unknown vehicles risk being towed. There are paid parking lots and garages along Mercer as you approach the theater.
In the past, there were listening devices. Post Covid, not sure.
Don't really know.
I would call the theater during their ticket hours and ask them how to exchange your tickets.
You can go to their website for most information then call them for mor details.
There is also accessible parking directly in front of the theatre if you have a state permit for accessible parking and a drop off area at the front door so you could drop someone off and pick them up with no walking. Just turn into Seattle center at the driveway near the sign for the theatre and that is where both the drop off area and accessible parking areas are.
Usually.
