When it takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday of course!
I have a bit of hairbrained scheme in mind and wanted to get the opinions of you folks "in the know."
Some questions:
1) This may be an ignorant question but I know Mondays are generally dark for shows in NYC but what about Tuesdays. Can you catch a show on a Tuesday night on Broadway? I know when the tours come to Boston you generally can.
2) How dark is the week between Christmas and New Years? Here is the deal: My mom is a snowbird and I'll be driving her car to Arizona. Usually when I do this I start the trip in NYC and do a Broadway weekend. This year, of course, New Years Eve is on Saturday, and I'm an introverted claustrophobic when not on stage so Times Square on New Year's Eve is the last place I want to be. Anyway, I thought I would start my trip on Tuesday with a show and then do a double dip on Wednesday, but my concern is whether or not the week after Christmas is a relatively normal schedule. (BTW, I've done the Radio City show and while entertaining once was enough.)
3) I anticipate not buying "star-driven" shows with stunt casting since the combination of the holiday week coupled with the shows being early in the week leads me to believe I'll be seing plenty of understudy action.
So how harebrained is my scheme?
