You don’t have to make a reservation to enjoy our show. Standing room is usually available in the bar areas.

8. What happens if I need to cancel my reservation?
All sales are final, however, if you are unable to use your seats, please notify us ONE week prior to your event and we will try to resell the seats.  If we are able to resell your seats, we will issue you a credit for seats re-sold only minus a $5 per seat administration fee.

9. I’ve been placed on a waitlist for a sold-out night, when will I know if I have seats?
We make every effort to contact our waitlisted clients if any seats become available. Please note that if you do not receive a phone call by 5pm on the day you’re requesting reservations, that nothing has opened up.

If your party has not checked in by 8:30pm at the latest, we reserve the right to resell your seats to walk-in guests.
