Any good 7PM or short 8PM Saturday shows?

Seeing Freestyle Love Supreme 10PM show in a few weeks, already have Little Shop matinee tix, hoping to make this a 3 show day.  Obviously The Inheritance is too long, even with a 7PM start, so for Broadway, it would have to be an 8PM start under 100 minutes or so that we could get to the Booth quickly from.  I understand there is a pre-show at FLS that is worth getting to, so maybe even 90 minutes max?


Or perhaps a 7PM Off Broadway show?  Is there a current listing of Off B'way shows with daily showtimes we can use like the Playbill list for Broadway performances?

Come From Away. Show likely starts at 8:00, its 1hr and 40 mins, and you are literally in the theatre next door. Plus it may end up being the best show you see all day. I wish you luck, and enjoy!

BETRAYAL is just over 90 minutes and is on the same block as the Booth.

David Byrne's American Utopia has a 5:30 p.m. Saturday show and runs 100 minutes. I believe your LSOH matinee starts at 2:00 (running time 2 hours) so that would give you plenty of time between LSOH and Utopia and between Utopia and FLS.

I'm doing this exact same thing in a few weeks.  LSOH at 2pm and Freestyle Love Supreme at 10pm.  I decided on Betrayal for the 8pm show.  And I'm pretty sure the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre and the Booth Theatre are next to/very close to each other, so it will be very easy to get from one place to the next quickly.

Not a musical but The Height of the Storm is on 47th st and under 90 minutes.

That's great, but a 7:00 curtain on a Sunday doesn't help someone looking for something for Saturday night.

Just realized I misread the title, my apologies!

Just a little gentle ribbing; no harm, no foul

Naked Boys Singing, an off-broadway show, has a 6 pm Saturday curtain and would be done in time for your 10 PM show.

Thanks for the leads.  We've seen Come From Away (looooved it), but there are some other great ideas here!

I hope you’ll report back on what show you land on and reports on your 3-show day! I’ve only done a 3-show day once, back in February 2016 on a Sunday: Noises Off - Aladdin - Then She Fell. Enjoy!

Got you beat. I once saw the three Norman Conquests plays in one day.  At what I guess was dinner break, there was a play at the Walter Kerr with Tovah Feldshuh that had an odd start time on Saturday afternoon.  I can’t remember the name, but it was about a woman who hid Jews during WW2.  The concession was that I had  Sabrett’s hot dogs instead of dinner, and missed about 5minutes of the last NC play.  The Norman Conquests was so clever and funny that I was not even tired at the end; the Feldshuh show was entertaining / moving, albeit mediocre...and short.  WAs one of the only shows ever where I didn’t stay for the curtain calls.

As a bonus, I sat near Jonathan Groff at NC, and across from Sigourney Weaver, Along with a third person who I cannot remember this second...for almost the entire day.

We did a 3 show day back when Hedwig had 10PM performances.  Sex With Strangers matinee at 2nd Stage, Lady Day at 8PM, then Hedwig.  We had to hustle out of Lady Day as soon as it ended.

If someone was looking for a Sunday night show that would give them time to make the show for 10pm, what would be a good show? I might be there on Sunday November 3 and was wondering what show would allow me to make a 10pm performance of Freestyle Love Supreme.

I did a 4 show day once.

10am Radio City Christmas Spectacular

2pm The Color Purple (original production)

6pm How The Grinch Stole Christmas

8pm Mary Poppins

Running through the crowds from The Color Purple (Broadway) to Grinch (the now Lyric) was insane.

This January, on a Sunday, I saw Torch Song’s final performance at 3:00 p.m. and then The Lifespan of a Fact at 7:00 p.m. followed by 54 Below at 9:30. That usually wouldn’t have been a problem except I stagedoored after Torch Song. It was totally worth it to thank the whole cast and converse with them (plus Harvey!) and get my window card signed. By time, I started racing to Studio 54, it was already 6:50 p.m. I arrived at the theater at 6:59. Just barely enough time to buy a ticket, check my bags, relieve my overburdened bladder, and slide into my seat!

I decided on TKAM at 7 in late December.  The advice was that it is right next door to FLS so should work.

Well, other half has made dinner reservations with friends which means no 3 show day for me. 

[Miles2Go2]

Posted: 10/24/19 at 7:18pm

I don’t believe TKAM currently has Sunday 7:00 p.m. shows.

The Sunday before X-mas they do.

Edit Also the last weekend in December & a few weekends in January they have 2 show Sundays.

Aw, that sucks! But I’m sure you’ll have a great meal with friends. And you won’t have the stress of rushing from show to show.

What about November 3 when Sweeney25 might be in town?
