Anyone else find it odd that Carousel has a 3pm matinee today? Any reason for this odd scheduling?
It's an Actors Fund performance, and I see it hasn't sold well at all.

Also the Broadway League Road Conference is this week and all the road presenters (most of whom are Tony Voters) are in town, so it gives them a chance to squeeze in another show.
Very odd scheduling. Plus it's listed on the show's website. Usually Actor's Fund performance don't get advertised as a general public performance, but Carousel has.

The Actors Fund performance for Three Tall Women, which is also this week, has been advertised to the public a lot too.

Both of the Rudin Actors Fund shows this week are primarily for Road Conference attendees to fit in an additional show this week, not the traditional methodology of letting other performers see the show, so they are advertising as a general-public show to try and get the room full
