I will go to the

New Amsterdam Theatre

to see the show.

214 W 42nd St, New York, NY 10036.

I may have to stand in line.

If I stand in line I will stay

with [insert name/s] and

try to be quiet.

Outside of the theatre

there will be a dog with his

owner.

His name is Quincy.

Quincy is a nice dog and

is there to keep everyone

safe.

I can say "Hello" to Quincy

if I want but I should not

try to pet him.

Inside someone will tell us where to go. They are

called an Usher.

The Usher will scan my ticket so I can get into the

theatre.

I can use the bathroom or

get a drink of water at the

water fountain before I go

into the theatre.

I will hand my tickets to the Usher so they can

show me where my seats are.

The numbers on our tickets tell us where we have to sit. It is not a

choice.

The Usher will give us a

Playbill. A Playbill is a

book. I can look at the

Playbill with [insert

name/s].

The theatre will get dark

and quiet. I will try to be

I will see actors wearing

costumes walking on the

stage. The singers and

dancers may come close

to me. They are actors

wearing costumes and

makeup, like on

Halloween.

I will try to stay in my seat.

If I feel scared, I can cover

my ears, squeeze a fidget,

hold [insert name/s] hand,

or hug [insert name/s]

After each song people

will clap.

Clapping tells the actors

you liked their song. If I

want to clap, I can.

If the clapping is too loud I

can ask for ear plugs or

headphones to help make

it quieter.

There will be a break. This

is called intermission.

During the intermission

people will leave the

theatre to get a drink, eat

a snack or to use the

bathroom. I can leave

with [insert name/s] to get

a drink, eat a snack or use

the bathroom.

After the intermission

everyone will come into

the theatre and sit down in

their seats. The theatre

will get dark and quiet. I

will try to be quiet during

the show so I can hear

everything. The actors will

come on the stage and

finish the Aladdin show.

After the show is over,

we’ll go out of the New

Amsterdam Theatre.

I am so excited to see

Aladdin on Broadway!
