For people with disabilities: The theater is equipped for assisted-listening devices and is wheelchair accessible.  Stay left against the wall as you enter, and position yourself opposite the central podium. In each succeeding section of the presentation, get into the very first row, particularly if you aren't tall. Express Pass is accepted here but might not save you any time if you arrive just as a show is starting.
