What to Expect

  • 1.Arrive early to find your seat and absorb the stage design; Power Center is a large venue, so give yourself time for parking and lines.
  • 2.The score blends electropop with Broadway-style storytelling, so the music can swing from intimate to high-energy—have earplugs handy if you’re sensitive to volume.
  • 3.Staging can be dynamic and multi-level; watch the action around the stage and along the aisles, and choose seating with a clear sightline.
  • 4.Expect an intermission; use the break for water, restrooms, and a quick stretch, and check for any post-show talk or notes if offered.
  • 5.No photos or videos during the performance; silence phones and let the cast's live sound carry the room.
