Getting tickets & coming to the theater
Wondering why some seats are unavailable? For The Great Comet, we are leaning in to the party atmosphere of the show and will be reconfiguring the entire theater in some new and exciting ways. Our set designer is working on the design, so we have put a number of house seats on hold to ensure that we don't have to move patrons once the final design is in.
We recommend booking your tickets now. We'll send an email to everyone with booked tickets once the set design is finalized in the event you'd like to move your seats.
