• Content Advisory
  • Disney recommends Beauty and The Beast for a general audience. As an advisory to adults who might bring young people, Disney recommends its productions for ages 6 and up. All persons entering the theater, regardless of age must have a ticket. 
• Age Appropriateness
  • Parents or guardians are always asked to do their own online research before bringing children or teens to see a Broadway show at DPAC.
  • The content for the vast majority of Broadway shows at DPAC are intended for adult audiences.
    • DPAC does sometimes host well known “family friendly” Broadway shows, particularly Disney branded Broadway shows such as Beauty and the Beast and Holiday shows such as Elf or Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. But even then, though the language or storyline of the show may be appropriate for kids, the length of the performance and the content of the show may not be a good match for very young children.
  • DPAC does not make specific recommendations regarding the age appropriateness for Broadway shows at DPAC.
• Age Requirement
  • Please note that all guests require a ticket, regardless of age.
  • Children must be able to sit quietly in their own seat without disturbing other guests.

Lobby doors open 60 minutes prior to the start of the event and doors to the seating area open 30 minutes prior.

• For many events at DPAC, the performances contain bright lights, flashing strobe lights and theatrical fog or haze.
• DPAC does not control these lighting effects which are designed as part of the show and are used for dramatic effect.
• Theatrical fog or haze, comprised of safety tested glycol, glycol/water mixtures, water, mineral oil, or dry ice, is used to make lighting effects more visible, and to create a specific sense of mood or atmosphere.
• Some, but not all events provide DPAC with more specific advisories on these effects. When available, DPAC will post any added advisories below.
  • This event has not provided DPAC with any specific advisory.
