Hi first time positing and planning a trip for first week of January.  I purchased tickets to the 3pm final ragtime on the 4th and just heard of the final performance of Jane Krakowski in oh,Mary! The show starts at 6:30pm, will I have enough time to make it before curtain?  I walk fast and don’t mind the walk but kinda nervous I’m cutting it close.  Thank you!

You should be able to make it with a few mins to spare. If you're worried about the walk, you can just hop on the 1 train at Lincoln Center and hop off at 50th, which would get you from LCT to the Lyceum in 15-20 mins if all is operating normally.

You will make it no problem.

Now I'm trying to imagine Mary Todd as one of the historical figures in RAGTIME..........maybe she and Grandfather had a fling back in the day after Abe died.

Anyway, do what Kad said, take the 1! Alternatively, you should have a relatively easy time hailing a yellow cab in front of Lincoln Center on a Sunday. But the 1 will be quickest.

If you're nervous about time, I recommend leaving at the start of the curtain call if you can exit without being too disruptive.

I’m a little less optimistic knowing that LCT can be hard to get out of because of the otherwise slow moving population when the theatre lets out. The show ran a full 3 hours for me on Saturday. You would have to basically either grab the train and pray it moves on time or have an Uber at the ready. 

The good thing about Oh Mary though is it starts about 5-7 minutes late and there is late seating after the first scene, but you don’t wanna miss anything for sure.

If the 1 is moving normally that day, get on it two stops to 50th. It will be the quickest.
