theatregoer
Stage show patron
A theatregoer is someone who attends theatrical performances, especially as a regular habit.
The word suggests more than occasional attendance—theatregoers are enthusiasts who make seeing plays or musicals part of their cultural life: London's West End draws theatregoers from around the world.
