No phones, cameras or recording devices of any type will be permitted within the venue, and as such you will need to surrender your phone into a Yondr pouch which will only be unlocked at the end of the show.

Don’t worry though - with these pouches your phone will remain on you at all times and you can still use it, albeit only in the designated Phone Use Areas.

If you’re caught with your phone out during a performance, you will be escorted out of the show. So, be sure to remember your purse or wallet before leaving the house.
