The best day of the week to see a show

I usually take public transportation, so more often than not, Wednesday or Saturday matinees are my best bet. I like that San Jose does Thursday matinees, too. :)

Having seen many shows more than once, its easy to tell the best days to go to each show, as they vary greatly. I remember vividly that for Gypsy, the best day was Saturday evenings or Sunday matinees. The Sat matinee audiences were 'blah'. For other shows, I prefer evening performances on Thursday, Fridays or Saturday. The best day to go to dramatic plays are the weekday because there is less destraction and you are really absorbed in the show. I remember going to WAOVW on a Sunday, Friday and on a Wednesay and the Wednesday performance was golden!

I don't like matinee's either, but coming in from Jersey, Sundays are easiest. Weeknight traffic has been horible, coming and going.
Once or twice a year we like to stay in a midtown hotel and see 3 shows, Tues night, Wed mat and night, but hotel prices have gone up a lot lately.
Saturday night is the logical choice for most people, but then you have a tougher time getting good seats, fewer discounts, the restaurants and bars are crowded, and so on. Plus, I usually work Saturdays.
Oh! I don't want to leave out Thursday nights. Seems some of the best times I've had before and after shows was on Thursdays. Restaurants and bars seemed lively, but not crowded, and with a good mix of patrons.

i despise matinees. the audiences always seem bored, and their minds are somewhere else. night performances are just always better-the performers, and the audience
