Do Broadway musicals let minors in alone?

Question

Especially Spring Awakening

My mom can't take me and is thinking of sending me and a friend alone.We're not over 18 and were wondering if they'd let us in the theater

Answer 1

Yes, they definitely let in minors alone.  Just have your ticket ready to go before the show (if you buy "will call," the person who bought them [I'm presuming your mom] has to be there to pick them up).  Telecharge, which is one of the sites that sells tickets to SA, says the musical is recommended for 13+, but it's not like they card you at the door.  The ushers are there to make sure that everyone gets to their seats as smoothly as possible - if you're worried about it, just get to the theater about half an hour before the show starts (that's when they generally start seating).  The place will be so busy that they'll barely have time to scan your ticket before whisking you inside.

Answer 2

depend how old over 13 i'd say yes

Answer 3

call the theatre and ask them.  

Answer 4

Excellent response above!

However.....yes, you CAN attend an audition WITHOUT a parent or guardian present.....just like applying for ANY job.

BUT....just like any job you apply for while under the age you must have your parents legal and authorized consent.

Different states vary on age. Some are 18, so 17.

In reality this has nothing to do with your age.....it's about school.

Educational laws.

You are going to be applying for a FULL TIME JOB....being the theater....that mean automatic overtime....which some states declares its not allowed for underage workers.

If you live outside of the state of the audition, you need to check with your own state work laws AND the work laws of where the show is playing.

If you are still in school....that is a whole other problem.

You're just going to have to do a little research.

Contact your state's Employment dept and that of the state you are going to audition in.

I really don't want to discourage you at all, but the people at the audition ASSUME you have already done what needs to be done.....audition...get the job....then not be able to take it due to age, school, and hour problems.

Any type of broadway show, you are in and out of audition quickly to begin with...if you show up without the things you need....no, you won't be allowed thru the doors. there are just TOO many people at these auditions.
