SomethingPeculiar said: "Phantom must do well enough with their Thursday matineeto justify it, sort of like the shows that have shows on Monday nights."

Simply put, Phantom doesn't do any worse on Thursday matinees than it did on Wednesday matinees, so there was no reason to move it back to Wednesdays.

All three of Disney's shows have random Thursday matinees this summer. Just one or two, but it's another option during the summer.

The York Theatre has Thursday matinees - right now Enter Laughing is playing through mid-June but they’re often a good option to round out a theatre-intense week. Join their mailing list to hear about readings and developmental stuff - those are usually at odd times and can be very interesting and make for a nice “bonus” experience to complement the Broadway shows.

Along with Monday performances, I really love how they are mixing it up with a Thursday matinee. That is when I am going to Moulin Rouge! in the Fall.

Broadway Bob* said: "For some strange reason "Frankie & Johnny" is dark Wednesday and has an added Thursday matinee the last week of June only. That happens to be the long weekend I will be in town so I am ecstatic to not only get to add an extra show but that one specifically! (Otherwise would have made a return trip to either "Phantom"
or "Play That Goes Wrong" - probably "Play..."

"Gazillion Bubble Show" has an 11am show on Thursday and on Saturday so was thinking of adding it in too. Anyone seen it? Thoughts? Runt time? THANKS!"

I mean I saw it when I was 10 but it’s... a fun kids show? A guy gets up on stage and blows bubbles and talks about bubble machines. If you are into that I guess it would be fine but you would look weird to go as an adult with no children.

In case anyone is interested, THE LIGHTNING THIEF starts it's new performance schedule which includes Thursday matinees. They join PHANTOM & MOULIN ROUGE as Broadway shows offering Thursday matinees.
