Oh, Jeez. I meant you can't take the camera out, to take pictures. It's a legal thing: the production holds the rights to any photographs taken -- for promotional purposes, ads and such -- and the No Camera rule relates to that, as does the No Recording Devices rule. But really, it has to do with courtesy. Imagine trying to enjoy the play -- or act in one -- with cameras clicking away all over the theater! There will probably be a notice in your Playbill, too. Glad you didn't think I was being a wet blanket -- I didn't want you to get escorted from the theatre!  |

I have taken shopping bags, cameras in my purse, leftovers from the Stage Deli (properly boxed of course, when you don't have time to take it back to the hotel for later), etc., into the theatre without a problem.
Remember, this is a cut above your average rock concert. This show is not likely to draw many screaming fans clamoring to take photos, unlike a U2 concert. Except us, of course. ;D
I've NEVER had my purse checked, even post 9/11.
(And many years ago-- 1977 -- I did take my camera out and got photos of the bows when Monty Python was on Broadway, but I wouldn't recommend it now.)
