get use of it IMO so I am going to take the heat and post it
I will note up front, that this is the first try at this. While they have
made adjustments something like this has never really been done before so
you are more than likely to run into a kink or two. Even if it is just a
parent that overestimated their kid's response to the show (it happens )

Welcome:
We are proud to announce that Theatre Development Fund (TDF) is piloting a
new program, Autism Theatre Initiative, to make theatre accessible to
children and adults on the autism spectrum, and their families.
The program, which is a part of TDF's Accessibility Programs (TAP), will
present the first autism-friendly performance of a Broadway show at Disney's
landmark musical THE LION KING at the Minskoff Theatre (200 West 45th
Street, NYC) on Sunday, October 2 at 1pm.
In order to be autism-friendly, the show is being performed in a friendly,
supportive environment for an audience of families and friends with children
or adults who are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder or other
sensitivity issues. Slight adjustments to the production will include
reduction of any jarring sounds or strobe lights focused into the audience.
In the theatre lobby there will be staffed quiet areas, if anyone needs to
leave their seats during the performance.
A downloadable social story (in Word format) with pictures of the theatre
and production is available on this page, designed to personalize the
experience for each attendee with ASD.
Tickets are being offered through TDF at affordable prices:
Orchestra (all seats) -- $79
Front Mezzanine (Rows A-G) & Box Seats -- $67.50
Mid-Mezzanine (Rows H-J) -- $57.50
Rear Mezzanine (Rows K-L) -- $38.00
Limit 6 tickets per order. For larger groups and further information
contact Deborah Stein, Coordinator of Autism Theatre Initiative: autism@tdf
.org or call (212) 912-9770 x383 - Monday - Friday 11am to 3pm.
Running time: Two hours and thirty minutes, including one intermission.
