Posted: 2/18/23 at 9:42amIs there a reason for the earlier than usual starting times for this play? Does it have a long running time?

I mean, 7:00 curtain times are pretty common nowadays, to the point where I wouldn't think to wonder what the reasoning might be.
It is interesting that their Wednesday matinee is at 1:00 though - that's the only curtain time of theirs that strikes me as a little odd. The show is only about 2h15m. I guess for whatever reason, they wanted to make the gap between the shows the same as on Saturdays (2pm and 8pm)?

Also there is no intermission.

Thanks for your input. I ask this because I've signed up for a Lenten program out here on Long Island that starts at 7 pm.on Wednesday nights. If I attend a 1 pm Wed matinee of Leopoldstadt I should be able to do both in one day. (Although I might arrange with one of my friends at church to bring a sandwich for me to munch down before the Lenten program starts.)

I always thought it was because of the number of kids in the cast

Oh nooooooo!
I just bought a ticket to the play and NOW I learn there are children in it !!!!!
After playing Warbucks in a summer tour of ANNIE, I 've developed an allergy to children...and stage mothers!
