I will go over the layout and the location of restrooms, doors and VIP areas. (Updated on: 3/3/2025)
Think of the auditorium as a horseshoe with the stage being on the OPEN end of it.
From the main entrance on Capitol and Louisiana, you will be on the RIGHT side of the horseshoe. All odd numbered doors and seats will be on the right. Doors 1 and 3 are on the first floor (Orchestra Level) . Doors 5 and 7 will be on the second (Box and Mezzanine Level). Door 9 will be on the third (Balcony Level).
From the entrance on Texas, you will be on the LEFT side of the horseshoe and all even numbered doors and seats will be on the left. Doors 2 and 4 will be on the first floor (Orchestra Level). Doors 6 and 8 will be on the second (Box and Mezzanine Level). Door 10 will be on the third (Balcony Level).
Seats that are in the hundreds (100s) will be in the middle of the auditorium.
Try and use the door that is indicated on your ticket as it should be the closest to your seat.
Restrooms:
-There is an ADA accessible restroom in the Courtyard (basement, garage access). You can take the elevator (elevator near Door 1) down to this level.
-Near Doors 1 & 3 for the 1st floor (These two doors lead you to the same restroom - there is also a family restroom on the men's side)
-Near Door 4 - I don't recommend this restroom as it is small and there are no operational water fountains.
-Near Door 6 for the 2nd floor
-Near Door 10 for the 3rd floor
VIP areas:
-The Green Room is located on the first floor near Door 1.
-The Virtuoso Lounge is located on the first floor near Door 3 and in front of the round bar.
