Doors open one hour before performance time.

We’re really great at making sure everyone gets to their seat and doesn’t miss a second of the excitement. If you’re not in your seat at the start of a performance, you may be asked to wait to enter the theater. In some instances, delayed seating may not take place until intermission. Late seating times are established by each artist working with our house management staff. Please allow extra time when traveling to NJPAC to ensure you have plenty of time to get to your seat before the performance begins.

Yes! Check out our in-house dining options here. There are dozens of fantastic restaurants throughout the neighborhood. We also offer refreshment bars with sandwiches, snacks alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in the Prudential Hall Lobby, the Upper Rotunda and all tiers of Prudential Hall. Refreshment bars are open one hour prior to Prudential Hall shows and stay open until the end of intermission. Outside food and beverages are not allowed.

Glass bottles and open containers are not permitted in the theaters. When drinks are permitted in the theaters, they will be sold to customers in plastic or paper cups with lids. Plastic water bottles are permitted inside the theaters for some performances. The policy for each event will comply with artist and production requirements. Signs will be posted at concession locations advising of the policy for each specific performance. Please note that alcoholic beverages may not be brought onto NJPAC property from outside.

Sorry, you know the drill. Cameras and audio recording devices are not permitted in the theater. The taking of video and pictures, especially flash photos, is disruptive and inconsiderate to both the artist and other members of the audience. Just as importantly, the visual and audio performances of the artist are protected under both US and international copyright laws. NJPAC has the right to confiscate all recording devices.

There’s a TD Bank ATM outside our building to the left of the rotunda entrance and under the arcade. The ATM is not managed by NJPAC.

Autograph signings are at the discretion of the artists and vary on a case by case basis. Some artists will meet with fans following the performance at tables in the lobby.

No one is permitted access backstage to meet with any artist without prior approval of the artist’s management.

You’re free to bring your own, but NJPAC does not offer binoculars or opera glasses.

There is no dress code unless specifically noted. However, we do ask that your feet must be covered at all times.
