Hello everyone! I'm home from my crazy Whirlwind adventure to see Hamilton and rush back home. We moved our reservation at Milos to 6pm and showed up ten minutes early. They fed us promptly (and wow, that place is incredibly fantastic). And we were out by 7:15. We went to Sardi's for a drink, and got to the theater with a line still in place, plenty of time to use the restroom and browse merch before sitting down. Thanks to everyone who offered advice, I really appreciate it! Worked out perfe...

OP here!It's the Richard Rodgers Theater (Hamilton!!), and I'm doing the Prix Fixe menu so I definitely know what I'm getting already. Thanks for all of the great answers. I suppose it might be prudent to change to a 6pm dinner, just to guarantee some casual relaxation / drink time before the show. I'm Mountain time zone at home so it's just going to be eating dinner at 4pm, so we'll just make sure to have a light lunch :)

I know this is a bit fastidious, but I'm going to my first Broadway show in little more than a week's time and I'm quite anxious about the plans. Especially dinner - we made reservations at Milos for 6:15, they have a prix fixe menu, it's about a 15 min walk according to Google back to the Richard Rodgers theater for our 8pm show of Hamilton!Is that a reasonable time to eat before the show, with enough time to walk back, have a cocktail nearby, and scoot to the show? We have tickets in hand, ...

OP here - thank you all so much for the help. I'll avoid the RR bar and hit up someplace else nearby! So if RR is ~ $18 for a drink, how much is a place like Sardis?

I'm heading to Hamilton in 2 weeks for an 8pm show. I've read they open the doors at 7:30, but read somewhere else that they open the bars an hour early at 7pm. How does that work exactly? Can I get there early and have a drink at the bar, or not? I'd love some help, planning my first trip to Broadway and would love to relax with a beverage for 20-30 min before the show!Thanks!EDIT: Here's where I found this info: "The bars begin serving patrons one hour before the performance begins.
