Hearing Protection

Let’s face it, some musicals are just too loud. This is especially true for National Tour productions where the sound engineer may not be familiar with the venue. In general, you typically do not need hearing protection at a play (unless the play features a significant amount of music), but we recommend always having quality hearing protection with you at a musical. For musicals and concerts, we are fans of Loop Earplugs and specifically the Loop Experience 2 Plus model (note: when you purchase from this page, we receive a small commission).

Some of the shows where we recommend having ear plugs with you include:

• Just In Time at Circle in the Square Theatre

• MJ the Musical at Neil Simon Theatre

• SIX the Musical at Brooks Atkinson Theatre

• Mamma Mia! (National Tour 2025)
