Seating
What is the seating arrangement?
You and your guests will be seated restaurant-style at tables and in booths in the antique cabaret tent imported from Belgium just for Teatro ZinZanni. The tent is circular and intimate (it seats around 285). The action of the show takes place all around the restaurant and is clearly visible from all vantage points in the room. We offer general admission and premium reserved seating. Seating will be pre-assigned before you arrive for the performance. Guests in the General Admission Seating section will usually be sharing a table with at least one other party.
May I ask to sit with another party?
If you would like to be seated with another party who made reservations for the show separately from your party, simply make the request with our Box Office.
You may be asked to share a table or booth with other guests.
What is the dress code?
Abandon your inhibitions and celebrate the evening with festive dress. From boas to bangles, feel free to deck yourself out in whatever dressy garb suits your style, but please no t-shirts, shorts or sneakers. Our ZinZanni Boutique features a variety of accessories ranging from top hats and tiaras to feathered masks, boas, jewelry, and beyond.
May I bring my children?
There is no age requirement to attend the show; however, it is a long night (over three hours) filled with somewhat sophisticated humor. There is no special ticket price or menu for children. Babes in arms will not be comfortable. For activities, classes and camps for your children, please visit Teatro ZinZanni's education division, the ZinZanni Institute for Circus Arts.
