Show night, step by step

GATINEAU — The theatre is the reason many guests book a room here, and the evening runs best if you know the order of things before you leave the house.

Weeks before: the ticket

The line-up is published far ahead, to October 2027 at the time of writing. Tickets sell online through Ticketmaster, by phone on 819-772-6222 extension 1, or at the box office. A mobile ticket costs nothing extra; a posted ticket or a will-call ticket costs $5, and will-call tickets can only be collected by the cardholder with the original card and photo ID.

A day before: dinner

The theatre sells a two-course dinner at Arôme as part of the ticket: $94 a person, which the operator breaks down as $61.91 plus gratuity, taxes and ticketing fees. You get a second ticket for the meal, valid only on the chosen date and time, with no refunds. Arrive between 5 and 5:30 p.m.

On the night: ID and coats

The hall is for people 18 and over, except for specific shows, and original photo ID is checked at the casino entrance; a photo on a phone will not do. Backpacks, motorcycle helmets and umbrellas are not allowed in the casino. The box office is in the left corridor from the main entrance, open from noon until thirty minutes after the start on show days. Questions about accessibility for people with reduced mobility go to 819-772-6222 before the night.

After the curtain

Three choices, all inside the complex: Bacchus in the hotel's Grand Hall (until midnight Sunday to Thursday, 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday), Bar 7 with its bands and DJs, or the walk to the elevator. That last option is the whole argument for staying the night: no taxi queue, no drive home.

The honest caveat

Show nights fill the building. If you value quiet, the executive levels, with their own elevator, are the category to ask for. And if the casino is part of your evening, decide your limit before the show, not after.
