Good to know
Tickets for Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre productions are typically sold via eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. The Playhouse (プレイハウス) seats approximately 850 and is a fully seated, raked auditorium with good sightlines from most positions. Smart casual dress is appropriate — the venue attracts a well-dressed audience for ballet evenings. Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain as the theatre enforces strict late-seating policies; latecomers are typically held in the lobby until a suitable break. The venue has a cloakroom for coats and bags, and a bar and café area in the lobby that opens before the performance.
