FanProof verdictFor Taft Theatre, all Balcony seats require stairs: there is no elevator. If you need accessible seating with a companion, buy two ADA-section tickets, since its consecutive odd-numbered locations alternate accessible and companion spaces. Request sign-language interpretation at least three weeks before the event.
