Theatre shows typically open doors around 7pm and start at 7.30pm, with an interval. Academy gigs can open doors as early as 6pm with a strict curfew, so check the ticket.
Fancy dress
It is part of the fun at ABBA, disco and 80s nights. Keep platforms and wigs sensible if you are seated in the gods.
Getting home
Most shows finish around 10–10.30pm. Check last trains before you book, especially for out-of-town venues.
Confirm before you travel
Dates and venues can change. We gather listings from public box-office pages, so always check the venue's own site on the day.
Afterwards
Tell other fans how it went. Rate the show on our scorecard.
