Important Question on Wicked's Camera Policy!!

Hello all, so tomorrow iam going to see Wicked! i am very excited this will be my third time seeing the show but i seem to have forgotten if they check you for cameras and stuff. I know they did a little mini bag search and stuff for the girls but has it gotten strick since Idina's death threats. My friends and I are making a day in the city and they wanna bring cameras for the whole day but i told them not to because of the death threats and theaters policies on stuff like that. If anyone has currently seen wicked is it the same and maybe we can smuggle it in. Please someone help hahaha thanks! :)

First of all, as per Eq. rules, you cant take any sort of pictures inside the theatre.

All theatres will check your bag for cameras and recording devices. I havent been up to the Gershwin since the threats started, so Im not sure how indepth they are being with their bag searches. That being said, I always have my camera in my purse and have never been stopped for it going into a broadway show. (though I did have a guard waste all my film at a Creed concert once so I wouldnt use it during the show)

It's not just a safety issue or a nuisance issue - the set design and sometimes even the architecture in the theatre are copyrighted (doesn't matter if they're just for your own personal use) and bad things happen to people who take photos without authorization. I would highly not recommend.

I was at the Gershwin in July.. We took a camera and all they did was check to see if you had any weapong in our bag.. So I would say take it !! Have fun !

they only check if you have a bag...i suggest you don't bring one....they won't confiscate it though...

Yeah, the ushers arent strict at all about taking photos...or at least when I usually go to see shows which is quite often.

i don't think they do

they won't confiscate it though

Though you really shouldn't take pictures, the ushers are rather lax. When I saw Wonderful Town, the ushers just yelled at people who took pictures but they just yelled from where ever they were standing and didn't approach the people taking pictures.

i had my camera in its case in my bag for the stage door afterwards on saturday, and no one stopped me...
