I was wondering if I go see the matinee of Spring Awakening at 2:00 and it should be over by 4:15 is it possible to catch a 7:00 pm plane from Laguardia?

Yup. Take a cab just to be sure.

probably, but it's rush hour, it's midtown, the traffic will be very heavy going outbound. Getting a cab from the theatre will be next to impossible, however. Good luck !

A Wednesday matinee or a Saturday matinee? My guess would be that traffic is worse on a weekday.

As an alternative to a cab, you could catch the N or W train from Times Square to Astoria Blvd, then change to the M60 bus to La Guardia. The bus runs every 10 minutes (more or less) and the whole trip takes about 55 minutes, and costs only $2. I wouldn't do it if you have lots of luggage though, as many stairs are involved.

I would also suggest that you check-in on-line so your airline won't give your seat away should you run late.
