Lovely watching it in the rain. Sat across from Cherry Jones and Sarah Paulson.

Perhaps they should start all performances at 7pm for two reasons:

(1) It's a *very* lengthy show and theatergoers who have to be at work at 9am the next morning would be very thankful. It's rough getting home at 1:00 am.
(2) A 7pm start, with a rain delay of 45 minutes midway through the show, would still have enough "buffer time" to get everyone out of the park by the midnight deadline. Unfortunately, if they start so late at 8pm, a rain delay of 45 minutes means the show must be canceled.

All valid, but then you'd be starting the show in almost-daylight. I always assumed they started at 8 p.m. so it'd be at least somewhat dark.

Yes, they began Macbeth at 8:30. It's one of Shakespeare's shortest plays--roughly 2:30, completely unabridged--so they could get away with doing that and still finish up way before midnight.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Is it wrong that I bought a copy of New York this evening just to have that picture of her in the red dress?

And it looks like I made a giant mistake assuming that Saturday's performance would get rained out and not bothering to go when I won the virtual lottery. Oops.

Third reason for an early start: So people who took NJTransit into the city don't have to scramble to catch the last bus or train back.

Not that I had to make the Port Authority Sprint last week or anything.

The same applies for LIRR people, if I were to go home directly after a performance I would not get back until 2 AM.

I'm sure it all has to do with lighting set-ups though so the 8 PM start time is completely understandable.

My friend and I are going this Sunday to stand in line to get tickets and I was wondering what's the latest we should get there? I know the weather is supposed to be nice so I was thinking between 6 and 7am, is that too late? Thanks for the help!!

What time do you think I should get to the cancelation line by at the latest to be able to get a ticket for tonight?

While I realize that Tuesday vs. Friday could be wildly different, when I walked by the theater at about 5:45 last Friday there had to have been nearly 100 people on line already. It's hard to say how many tickets they will have available on the stand by line because that number fluctuates daily. I would say the sooner the better.

Ah, emcee - you chose my favorite as your avatar! Good taste, obviously.

No luck again with the virtual line. I may have to donate (or find someone who needs a date for opening night).

How hard do you think it will be to get tickets after it opens? I plan to go this Friday, since I was "lucky" enough to be at the first rained out performance...

Makes sense. I just realized that I should still be good on Fday since I ll be in line already by the time the reviews come out. :)
