Policy On Backpacks or Large Totes In Theatres

Hi again. I need advice once more. I am going to Fiddler On The Roof later this week and I know beforehand that I will be shopping and most likely won't have enough time to go back to my hotel and drop off my bags before the show. So I was thinking of bringing with me one of my large totes/purses or small backpacks that I could put all my shopping bags in. I have no problem paying the usual $2 to check a bag/coat because I understand they get in the way, especially in some of the theaters with less legroom.

My question is do you think it will be a problem with security ? I always see that warning on the emails confirming my purchase not to bring backpacks or large bags. I don't care if they go through it either. The most exciting things I'll be purchasing is babka and quilting fabric. (Can you guys imagine how exciting I'll be when I hit middle age ?)

Thanks for your advice. Your all great.

Thanks for the info @ Jay Lerner-Z and PThespian. This is great to know. I usually never have time to go back to my hotel, so usually I don't shop even if I have time. This time I wanted treat myself a little. So backpack or tote is for this week, it is ! I'm really looking forward to the show, too, @ PThespian. It will be my first show of 2016.
