Anyone know how long it is going to be?

Wondering if I could possibly make it down to see a Sat. night perfromance of "I Love You Because" at 10:00 after an 8:00 performance of Drowsy?

Any help?

Thanks

That would most likely not be possible, as I think this isn't an intermissionless spelling bee type show, where even then it would be tight.

Well, most shows without an intermission are less than 2 hours, so maybe it would work.

I think I heard it is 90 minutes without intermission but don't take my word for it.

Dave -
I thought I read that somewhere too.

If that were true is it possible to get down there in 15- 20 min?

Subway or taxi?

Thanks in advance!

In LA it ran about one hour and 50 minutes (with no intermission).

I have no idea how long it would take to get down there. The Village Theatre is all the way down on like 4th Street-ish

I would say it isn't possible as someone who often subways between the two areas. The Marquis Theatre takes at least five minutes to get out of due to the fact that it's in the hotel. Add that to a 90 minute show with a few minutes delay and the time it takes to get to the subway, you're looking at a less than 20 minute time frame to get to the West 4th Street subway station and then to the theatre. Unlikely.

And even if you could legitimately pull it off, you'd be so worried about making it that you couldn't enjoy the end of Drowsy or the beginning of Because.

Drowsy is 90 intermissionless minutes.
