For this week, a majority of Bway shows switched their regular Tuesday evening performance to Monday so that they would be dark on Election Day. Some even move their usual Wednesday matinee to Sunday evening.

Just sharing in case anyone was looking for the show schedules this week.
Good point! Also, next Monday is Veteran's Day and some folks have that day off. Normally on a 3-day weekend, some Broadway shows will move one performance to a Sunday evening.
Limited options for Tuesday evening and Wednesday matinees this week. Some shows seem to be doing a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday evening and the four show weekend. Others have put in a Thursday matinee, too.

I’ll be seeing Suffs on election night and bringing some first time viewers along!

A one-act starting at 7 or 7:30 would probably do well tomorrow night. Anecdotally I know people who are looking for things to do before east coast polls start closing. The problem is intermission: if we start getting news by then, the audience is going to totally disengage.

Since it was pouring rain when I saw it a few months ago, I might just swing by stage door tomorrow night. Should be electric.
