Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime to navigate security, scan tickets, and find your seats without rushing. The venue’s lobby and aisles can become busy close to curtain, so giving yourself extra time ensures a smooth start to your evening.

Performances are indoors, so weather won’t affect the show, but consider local conditions when traveling and dress comfortably for the season. If you’re seated in the Mezzanine or Balcony, allow a few extra minutes for stairs; the Orchestra level is accessible and typically quicker to reach.

Public transit is the easiest way to arrive on time in Midtown Manhattan. If you’re driving, pre-book a nearby garage and factor in traffic around Times Square. For rideshare, use 47th Street pickup zones and plan for delays after the final bow.

Make the most of your Broadway night by arriving early to enjoy the theater’s architecture and ambiance.
