Hello! How can I help you today?

I'm going to the theater for the first time, what are some basic rules I should follow?
user
At the theater, it's generally considered polite to turn off your phone, refrain from talking during the performance, and wait for intermission to get up from your seat.
assistant
What if I need to leave my seat during the show?
user
If you need to leave your seat, try to do so during a scene change or a musical number, and be as quiet as possible so you don't disturb the other audience members.
assistant
Is it customary to applaud after each song in a musical?
user
No, it's not necessary to applaud after every song in a musical. Wait for the audience around you to start applauding, and then join in – usually, this happens after big numbers or at the end of the show.
