Theatrical Access Reviews
(and some places around NYC - also a few for London)
I’ve generally found vague strobe & gunshot warnings to not include enough helpful information to actually be an accessibility measure, so I began this project to let you know specifically what to look out for, as well as offering content advisories & accessibility information.
I hope these are a helpful tool! I have also hyperlinked a site with specific accessibility info for each theater on the individual access review’s page.
If you want to hire me to make an access review, offer a comp ticket, and/or advise on accessible staging, feel free to email me at disabled.autistic.lesbian@gmail.com

Note– if you feel like a show is missing in this list, I may have reviewed it at a previous venue before it transferred to Broadway and thus haven’t prioritized making a new access review, so check in the closed section below as well! The design likely won’t be perfectly identical in a new space, but it’s typically fairly close so it should still give you a good idea of what to expect.
