| I'm spending a few days in NY. I won't be staying anywhere near the theatre district, so on days when I'm out and about before an evening Broadway performance, I may have a small backpack on me. Will I have any trouble bringing it in or checking it, if necessary? I usually stay closer to the theatre district and don't bring a bag with me. Sorry if that's a silly question, I just wasn't sure if backpacks would be allowed for either security or covid-related efficiencies. In case it matters, I'm seeing Into the Woods, Company and A Strange Loop. |

| I was just in NY last weekend and saw all three shows you mentioned. My small backpack was briefly inspected at all three venues and passed the test. The worst that can happen if your backpack is deemed too big is that they’ll have you check it in. (I do remember an e-mail from one of the theaters saying that if you’re asked to check in a bag, you would be charged $2.00, but I can’t remember which of the three shows that was.) |

| Seating at most Broadway theaters is so cramped that you may want to check your bag even if management doesn't require you to do so. | |

| Most items fit under your seat. | |

| And that allows people to climb over you after the curtain goes up. | |

| Backpacks (both small and regular sized) are allowed in theaters, but you will likely have to present it for a quick inspection upon entry. Have fun! | |
