Getting from theater to theater and suggestions for Saturday shows

I'm heading to NYC next weekend for a full weekend of theater but needed some advice.
I'm seeing Mysteries of Love and Sex at the Lincoln Center on Friday evening, does anyone know about the stage door policy there? I'm lucky enough to see Hamilton on Saturday as a matinee, does anyone recommend any show for the Saturday night that won't be too expensive? Maybe lotto or morning rush tickets available for evening shows?
I also have tickets to Mystery of Love and Sex as a 3pm matinee (2 and a half hours run time) on Sunday, followed by Josephine and I at Joe's Pub at 7pm. Is there enough time in between for me to get from theater to theater? Ay advice or suggestions greatly appreciated.

If you can get a $47 ticket to Cabaret, do it, it's amazing and it's closing soon. Another great choice is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime where some seats are $27!

I would suggest you don't see Mystery of Love & Sex two times in one weekend. That should open things up for you.

Are you planning to walk to Joe's Pub? That's the only way I think of it could possibly take anywhere near 1.5 hours.

After Hamilton, you could take the N or the R train from Eighth Street up to 42nd and see what's at the TKTS booth. This time of year, it should be pretty good.

Clyde. I'm from overseas and a Diane Lane fan, so that's my choice, thanks.

Thanks Ethan, will look into Cabaret. Would love to see Alan as the emcee, just had reservations over Sienna as Sally!

Thanks Mac for the suggestion, will look out for the TKTS booth.

Hogan, as a Londoner my first instinct is naturally to walk everywhere, but I will look into the subway! Updated On: 2/28/15 at 03:45 PM

It would be a long walk, obviously, but not an uninteresting one (for the most part). Mostly a straight shot down Broadway, although there will be a few opportunities to navigate circles and parks and figure out which of many roads is the continuation of Broadway. Portions of Broadway are "pedestrianized." The subway involves one transfer at Times Square, but much less time.

If you enjoy the exercise and above-ground views of walking but need to get somewhere faster, you could get a day pass for the citibike bike-sharing system - you can pick up a bike at one station and drop it off at another.

Don't let Sienna keep you from Cabaret.

To the OP: Pretty sure the comment about The Mystery of Love and Sex assumed you made a mistake posting, and accidentally put the same title in twice....it was suppose to be a funny.

If you are thinking of the TKTS booth, you might want to go to the TKTS booth at the South Street Seaport on Saturday morning..it opens at 11. You are already going to be in the downtown area. I don't know where you are coming from but it's close to many subway stops and there is an advantage to going there...

TKTS at Times Square will only start selling Sat night tickets after 3 pm..but at the Seaport, they sell evening shows in the morning..so you can be all set after Hamilton without having to race to Times square after Hamilton.

It's not as cheap as lottery or rush - but some shows are doing 50 % off.
