Stepping into the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre for Some Like It Hot is like slipping into a vintage Hollywood comedy—glamour, laughs, and toe-tapping tunes all wrapped up in one sizzling production. To make the most of your night, here’s your complete playbook from parking to curtain call, with a few handy products and extra reads to enhance your outing.

Arrive Early and Beat the Parking Rush

Parking around the Bob Carr can fill up fast. Aim to arrive at least 45 minutes before curtain time so you can snag a spot in nearby lots or the official garage. Plan ahead and view lot options here: Bob Carr Parking Info. For convenience, pack your essentials in an Insulated Cooler Bag to keep pre-show snacks fresh.

Choose Your Seats Like a Pro

Theatre seating zones vary from orchestra (close to the action) to balcony (full-stage views). Review the detailed layout and pick seats that match your preference here: Bob Carr Seating Chart. A small Camp Spork tucked in your pocket is perfect for discreet nibbling during intermission.

Plan for 2½ Hours of Musical Merriment

Some Like It Hot runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission. Factor that into your dinner or post-show plans—perhaps check our Travel Smarter: Budget-Friendly Hacks to keep the night rolling without blowing your budget.

Know the Venue’s Amenities

Concessions offer wine, beer, and light snacks—perfect for sipping during the overture.
