Getting Ready for Your Lyceum Theatre - New York Event

• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself time for Theater District crowds, security screening, and finding your seats. Broadway curtain times are strict, and latecomers may wait to be seated.
