The show must go on! We rarely cancel shows due to the weather. However, your safety is our utmost concern! If you believe severe weather will prohibit you from attending the show, please call (800) 377-1277 to discuss your situation with a customer service representative.
Missing any part of the show is no fun! While we understand this and would love to seat you immediately if you arrive late, we’re not always able to do so.
In order to ensure the safety of all our guests, actors, and animal actors (who use the aisles in darkened show conditions), the theater doors close promptly at show time. Please know that we may not be able to seat you until intermission. To get the most out of your Sight & Sound Theatres experience, please plan to arrive 45 minutes before your scheduled performance.

Sight & Sound does work with a select number of in-market resellers and national tour operators. Sight & Sound Theatres® tickets cannot be resold through third party ticket sites or any other methods without an active “Authorized Ticket Reseller” agreement.
Online ticket resellers are not permitted to sell Sight & Sound Theatres® tickets above the published ticket price (not including processing fees). If an online reseller is promoting individual Sight & Sound Theatres® tickets without an “Authorized Ticket Reseller” agreement and above the ticket price published on our website (not including processing fees), there is the potential the sale is a fraud.
Victims of fraud can file a consumer complaint with their state Attorney General office.

As a family business that values quality family time, we delight in creating memorable experiences for the entire family. Children of all ages are welcome. However, since the shows run approximately 2 ½ hours in length, we have found they are best suited for children aged 5 and up. Should your child become restless or need a break, we do offer a Family Room at both the Lancaster and Branson theaters, where you can watch a live video feed of the show.
For the safety of our guests and actors, we do not allow large items such as car seats, strollers or baby carriers into the theater. However, we do offer booster seats so that children can have the vantage point they need to enjoy the show. If you have a young child that becomes restless during the performance, you’re welcome to accompany your child to our Family Room as needed, where you can watch a live video feed of the show.
We love having children at the shows, but we also understand that sometimes kids will be kids. To give all of our guests the best possible experience, we offer a Family Room where you and your child can retreat from the show if they need a break. Our ushers may help guide you to this area should your child become restless. While in the Family Room, you can continue to watch the show via a live video feed of the show.
Although the shows are best suited for ages 5 and up, children of all ages are welcome. Children under the age of 3 may sit on a parent’s lap and do not require a ticket. Children aged 3 and older do require a ticket and their own seat.
We offer booster seats to provide young children with the best possible view. If you think your child may need a booster seat, please speak with one of our ushers when you arrive.

Both theaters are designed to accommodate guests who require wheelchairs or mobile transport and their companions. Our guests have options for wheelchair-accessible parking, restroom facilities, and theater seating.

Our most recent animal performers include pigs, goats, sheep, llamas, camels, cattle, donkeys, horses, dogs, cats, skunks, macaws, rabbits, and alpacas.

Sight & Sound has a full-time, trained security staff on patrol at all times. We also work with outside security experts and local law enforcement to ensure the safety of everyone who visits. Electronic surveillance is used across all properties, 24/7. We appreciate your support in helping to keep Sight & Sound Theatres an enjoyable and safe experience!
Producing a new show is no small feat. The entire process—from initial concept to opening day—spans four years, with nearly all the work being completed by Sight & Sound employees. This includes story development and script writing, set and costume design and construction, choreography and staging, animal training, casting, and rehearsals.
Music is an integral part of every Sight & Sound show, and all vocal performances happen live on stage. However, the original soundtracks are composed and recorded prior to the opening of the show.
