I see that the show run time is 2.5 hours. Has anyone been recently and can say they were outside the theater by 10:30 for a 8pm start? I’m seeing a 8pm show soon and i want to be sure I’ll be able to catch my train after. Thanks!
1. Shows never start on the hour.....8:05 is the earliest it will start.
2. It takesa good 5 minutes (at the minimum) to get yourself OUT of the theater.
I don't know what time you need to catch your train, but I would say the earliest you would be on the street is 10:40, IF luck is entirely on your side.

Yes, I saw a night show and was out around 10:25/10:30. You should be fine. Enjoy- it's a great show!

5 minutes??? What are you doing that it takes you 5 minutes to get out?
I was in the middle of the row and it took me maybe 2 minutes at the most to get out.

For planning purposes, from time of show ending to on the street, I agree with dramamama. Probably longer with hats, coats and gloves this time of year. Depends on where you are too - orchestra, mezz, balcony. And the length of the curtain call.
