Is the show suitable for guests who are prone to seizures or motion sickness?
There are no strobe lights used in the production but there are some fast image and light transitions, so we would advise caution for those who suffer from seizures. Equally, while the vast majority of our patrons have an amazing time with no issues, a small minority who are very susceptible to motion sickness find immersive entertainment slightly uncomfortable, so we would advise caution if you fall into this camp.
Is the show suitable for autistic people?
We have found that autistic people LOVE our shows! Please note the venue is dark and there is surround sound. We advise sitting at the end of a row if you think a quick exit might be required. Our on-site staff will assist if you alert them at check-in.
Do you have an involuntary noise policy?
We welcome all visitors to our shows including audiences with access requirements and patrons who may make involuntary noises. We will not ask a disabled patron making an involuntary noise to leave a show.
Any customers who have concerns about involuntary noise during a show should speak to one of our reps.
What are your Covid safety policies?
We are committed to following state and federal guidelines.
Should any precautions be required for a particular show, you will receive an email confirming the policies in place for the show you are attending.
If you are not comfortable with these our customer service team will gladly assist you moving your tickets to a later showing.
