Arrival and end times are estimates; the listed showtime is when the show starts, including any opener. Arrival steps use walking or driving estimates from straight-line distances, and the finish can vary with the performers’ pacing. Pad in a buffer for security lines, traffic, and will-call, and double-check restaurant hours before you go.
