Water & drinks
Use the Royal Theatre section of the shared Royal & McPherson map and photo page; the two buildings have different layouts. Yellow on the Royal chart flags restricted views, and orchestra-pit use can remove front rows. Empty water bottles are permitted for lobby filling stations, but outside food and drink are not. Latecomers wait for a suitable break, and leaving during a performance may prevent return to your original seat.
