Does the theatre have accessibility accommodations?
The Lena Horne Theatre is wheelchair-accessible, with designated wheelchair seating available in the Orchestra section. Each wheelchair seat can be accompanied by up to three companion seats, subject to availability. All seating in the Orchestra can be accessed without stairs, but please note that the Mezzanine section is only reachable by staircase, as the theater does not have an elevator or escalator. In the Orchestra, Row P and Q each require one step to access, and the steps are located in the center section. There is also a step up to Orchestra Q23 on house left and a step up to Orchestra P6 on house right.

Accessible seating for guests with hearing or vision impairments is available in Orchestra Row A, seats 1–7 and 2–8. If accessible tickets are not showing for a selected performance, it means they are sold out for that date — try checking another performance for availability.
