Tips for “show weekend”

My very determined 4 year old is in a show in a few weeks time. She’s astonished me by keeping up with the rehearsals, now I am thinking ahead to show weekend.
There will be a dress rehearsal till late on Thursday, show till late on a Friday, and two shows on Saturday...
Just wondering if anyone has any tips on things to pack etc to help her manage.
I’ve booked some days off work either side so she can totally relax, and nap as needed. Wondering what else I can do. She’s so driven, but still so young and I want to look after her as much as I can. But I don’t know anything about shows!

Oh, and more (non-messy) food than you can imagine. In my experience dancers eat an enormous amount (just assuming she’s a dancer here)

Don’t pack anything that might get spilled or anything which might make marks of any kind on costumes! Electronic devices come into their own backstage I always find. There can be a lot of waiting around. A onesie for putting on in between stage times is helpful too.
