The experience

  • Watch out for: Imperial’s elevator serves the lobby levels, but individual balcony seats still require stairs; accessible auditorium positions are in the Orchestra. Ask the box office about rear rows T–W, transfers and companion seats. The venue guide flags restricted-view Row AA end seats and some nearby safety-rail views; assess the exact seat before buying. Reserve free hearing-assist devices in advance when possible. The Lower Lobby offers a quieter space and a performance monitor. Guests aged 12 and under must have an adult; under-one lap admission applies only to designated family shows.
