30 minutes prior

We traveled there with a bus group so I'm not 100% certain, i would assume an hour or so before the show

Sit in Row 1 of the balcony. ( but, typically, patrons do not stand)

The theater is not very large; however, I prefer the orchestra section vs the mezzanine. I do not care for the balcony. In the orchestra section the best rows are F through M so you are not looking up at the stage but out. Also, the closer to the center of the stage the better. Do not be discouraged if seats are not available in that area or it does not fit in your budget. Most seats are decent due to the size of the theater.

It is arena seating, but they do have wheelchair ramps outside at numerous entrances, a wheelchair area inside at rear of seating area, and an elevator. Most of the ushers in the venue are older and very friendly and helpful. I have seen them assist others in wheelchairs and other physical limitations. Hope everyone has a good time.

The doors open 30 minutes before the show starts.

In this venue that seems to be a matter of personal choice. I would say the nice casual would be quite appropriate, no tie required. I am sure you will see a wide range of dress.

No, I didn't see anyone do that. But afterwards the performers come down in front of the stage for pics and congrats.

Yes there is an elevator.
