I know Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown hasn't even started in previews yet, but does anyone have the scoop on (roughly) how long it's running? Have a ticket for Oct. 9 and I'm trying to figure out if I can catch a particular train afterwards and it all depends on how long the show runs. Your help is greatly appreciated!

I think you'll probably have to wait until October 5th for that info unless there is someone involved in the production on here (maybe October 4th if someone goes to final dress). I can imagine they won't publish their running time on Broadway.com until they open officially or freeze the show because it could change a lot in previews.

Plus with all the set changes you could expect delays.

This is slightly off-topic, but this is a question for anybody who is familiar with a broadway rehearsal process. What stage of rehearsals do you think they are in at this point with Women on the Verge? Full run-throughs? Tech? I am just fascinated by the business and would love to know what point a show needs to be at to start previews in two weeks.

They probably move into the theater the middle of this week, start teching next week.

One cast member's Facebook entry yesterday was simply "TECH".
So they are probably in 10 out of 12's.
That means very long rehearsals and smoke breaks outside the theatre.
