Orchestras & concerts
Symphony orchestras, chamber music and big-name concerts. Check the program and running time, and book aisle seats if anyone may need to step out.
Musicals & plays
Big touring musicals sell out early, so book well ahead for groups. Smaller theatres stage great plays at friendlier prices.
Children's theatre
Shorter shows made for young audiences. Check the recommended age and running time, and choose a morning or matinee session.
