FAQs

How long does the show run?

Typically we do two 50-minute acts with a 15-minute intermission. Sometimes it's 5 mins longer. Sometimes it is 5 mins shorter. Time is weird, y'all.

What is the show rated?

PG-13 for suggestive language, situations, and Muppet Feet.

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

E-mail VStheUNIVERSE! The address is VTUCrew at gmail dot com

OH NO! Tickets are sold out! Is there a waitlist?

Yes. There is a waitlist. We typically sell out, but about 48 hours before every show we have some cancellations. If you're on the waitlist, you could still get in!

Why can I only reserve two tickets?

We've found that large groups love to book seats for our shows, but then only a small portion may show up which makes it hard for individuals to see the performance. We've capped the maximum number of seats per person to two so that we can guarantee more people see the show.
