Yes, service fees help support the costs of secure, convenient ticketing and keep our Box Office running smoothly.
There’s no dress code at Uptown—just come as you are. Some guests enjoy dressing up in business casual, while others feel more comfortable in jeans. Formal wear isn’t expected. We want you to feel at ease and enjoy the show!
Theater doors usually open 30 minutes before showtime. We recommend arriving early to allow time for parking, traffic, and ticket pick-up if needed. The Box Office opens one hour before each performance. If you’re buying tickets at the door, please arrive at least 30 minutes before the show starts.
Please note: Late seating is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of management. You may need to wait for a suitable break in the performance.
Children ages 3 and up need their own ticket. Children under 2 may attend without a ticket if they sit on a lap, in accordance with fire code regulations.
