With everyone at the reservation desk at once, check-in can get backed up delay seating. If you arrive 15 or 20 minutes before showtime, you can check in, find your seats, then leisurely head to the bar to buy drinks to bring to the show.

Are there public safety requirements due to the Covid-19 pandemic?
