Run time for A Funny Thing...Forum

How long is A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum..
I'm planning on seeing it at a theatre at 7:30pm but need to know how long it is to know what train to take home.
Thanks!
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

If the cast knows what they are doing and keeps the pace where it should be you should be out of theater by at latest 10:10. Probably 10 or before.
Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?

Really? I was in the show last spring and I definitely remember it being less than two hours w/ intermission. I'd say you'd be out of there at 9:30.

I've seen brisk productions, where the actors speed through the comedy and I've seen horrible drawn out productions. It really depends on the pace and if the actors decide to add improv.

I seem to recall the recent Broadway revival running about 2:15, with the intermission. But, Nathan Lane did a LOT of ad-libbing.

are you seeing this down at Strasberg? It's one of my all-time favorites. Let me know how it is so I can decide whether it's worth trying to see.
