I just booked Billy Elliot for me and my kids for a matinee on Friday July 3. Which had me curious for their schedule for the week. Within the calendar week they are running NINE shows, but since they have no EVENING show on the 4th and have Sunday and Monday off it's still 8 shows a week. Crazy.
I almost always bring my kids in this time of year, and hadn't previously notice special schedules. Is anyone else aware of special schedules for the week leading into the 4th of July?
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 6/14/09 at 3:31pmThanks so much for posting! I was looking for that but I couldn't find it anywhere, they used to post them on playbill.com and it was easy to find. Just out of curiosity, usually how busy are the lotteries for shows that week? I would love to try, but since it's a big trip and would require me changing my schedule, I'm not sure if I want to do it unless I have a decent chance at winning. I was considering trying the lottery for Rock of Ages or 9 to 5.
