- Automatic doors from the street into the theatre
- Wheelchair-level ticket windows accessible to all
- First-floor level access to bathrooms
- Elevator access between floors, unobstructed view spaces for guests using mobility devices and adjacent companion seating in both the Mezzanine and Orchestra

Infrared hearing enhancers are available in our lobby next to our bar in front of Door 1. Please be ready to provide a valid ID or credit card, and a House Manager will be happy to assist you. Quantities are limited and all devices are distributed on a first-come, first served basis.)
