I’m taking my first trip to NY in over a year (which is a huge gap for me) and have all my shows booked. Is there anything interesting off Broadway that has a Thursday or Friday matinee? This would be on May 25/26.

Thanks!

On Ticketmaster I found that Blue Man Group has a 2 pm show Thursday, May 25.

On Friday, May 26 the NY Philharmonic has a 2pm concert.

If you have any interest in doing a tour, I recommend Broadway Up Close.  The best of their tours that I have done is the one where you go inside the Hudson.  They have openings for that tour on your Friday.  The tour starts at 10 & runs about 2 hours.  Their other tours are OK, but you just walk outside theatres and  hear some stories about their history.  There is a lot of emphasis placed on stories of hauntings & ghosts - even on the tours that aren't specifically ghost tours.  For someone like myself who doesn't believe in the supernatural, it felt like too much time wasted on hearsay & BS.
