How Do I Tip...? The answer should be based upon your own personal assessment of the service you have received from your actor/waiter. 

Generally, tipping is based on the price of admission plus any beverages purchased from the bar.  If the service has been satisfactory, a tip of 15% is customary. 

For those customers who purchased their admission through our group sales department, a gratuity was included in the admission price.  Any beverages purchased by you from your actor/waiter, however,

 did not include a gratuity.  As such, a 15% gratuity on those purchases is customary. Should you find that your actor/waiter has provided you with outstanding service, your recognition of this

 would be gratefully appreciated.  In the event your service has not been up to our excellent standards, please ask to speak to one of our managers. Thank you for your generosity, and enjoy the show!
