What time should I turn up to the theatre?
What time should I turn up to the theatre? Make it a point to reach the theatre at least 30-40 minutes before the scheduled time. Most theatres don't allow late seating anymore, which means you'll have to watch the show on a monitor in the lobby until intermission or the first break.
What is theater etiquette?
Stay quiet throughout the show. Aside from a ringing cell phone, talking during a performance is the most distracting offense of theatre etiquette. Don't turn to your neighbor and ask what's going on. Hold out until intermission. The more you talk, the more the people around can't hear the people onstage.
