Hi. To celebrate having sent in all of my college apps, I plan on rushing a lot of shows in early January. Do you know if the theatres are generally crowded at that time? When does the "off-season" begin and end?

The concierge at the Crowne Plaza said that the said is usually "empty" in January, if that helps at all. I don't know specifics.

Depends on schooling. High Schools go back 1st week of Jan. Most colleges the 3rd or 4th weeks. Last year the 1st few weeks of Feb were dead.

Off-season! That's the word I was trying to come up with. Ah, well, I'm glad we had the same idea. I would go in January, but I'm in a show. So, I'm waiting until right after our last performance at the end of January.

How is late January? Like weather wise too because we don't want to go to nyc if there is going to be these huge storms.

NY always has a chance of snow storms during the winter months.

I warn you now, it's cold - very cold. Bundle up and rough it.

Cold, very cold. Could snow, although in the past few years the bigger storms have been much later in the winter season.

I actually went to NYC at the end of January this year and it was unseasonably warm--then two weeks later they got their biggest recorded snowfall. I'm also considering an NYC trip in January over MLK weekend.
