What is the dress code?

Many people wonder what to wear to an event at Abravanel Hall, Capitol Theatre, or at The Rose. Depending on the event, you may see anything from jeans to tuxedos; if you are not sure, a good rule of thumb is to wear business casual attire.

What is the late seating policy?

If you have a reserved seat, it will be held for you until the curtain rises. Should you arrive late, you will be seated in alternate spot out of consideration for patrons already seated. During some productions late seating may not occur until an intermission. When traveling to performances, please allow ample travel time for traffic delays, road construction and parking.
