Would anyone know the exact time an 8pm show would end? I'm trying to see a 10pm show downtown, and it makes a huge difference if Bloody Bloody ends at 9:35 or 9:45. Thanks!!

And it's not funny, but the choice to end the show

with the commencement speech at Harvard with, "I'll see you in heaven," was a very interesting choice that really brought some serious contemplation to the show.

I really like the show, but respectfully disagree with Kad. That extended business, milked ad nauseum by the actor playing Van Buren, is so out of control. I can't believe the director has allowed it all this time (it was even longer, much longer, the night I saw it at the Public). Nathan Lane can get away with extended bits of ad lobbing; he does it brilliantly, and he's the star of whatever show he happens to be in. That the director allows BBAJ to stop cold while a minor character engages in endless, strained, unfunny business, while (both times I saw it) about three (3) audience members laugh themselves sick, and the other thousand or so sit in silence, waiting for it to end, is astounding. I found the greatest improvement of the Broadway transfer to be the tightening of the pacing...with the glaring exception of this guy's three act play about crossing his legs and eating a Twinkie.
