Which current Broadway shows REALLY have Monday night shows?

Hi,

So I am trying to plan a trip to New York in June and to maximize the amount of shows I get to see I was wondering which of shows I could see on Monday night. I find there is a lot of misinformation on websites like Broadway.com (which told me Gypsy had Monday night shows...which is a lie). Also are there prominent Off-Broadway shows that play Monday nights?

Well that wasn't a lie. GYPSY had monday night performances during previews. A lot of shows do that during previews, and change their schedule once the show is opened.

Gotcha...but it still says that now, which is annoying.

If you go on http://www.telecharge.com and scroll over "City" and select "NYC - Broadway," you can select each show they sell and look at their weekly schedules.

Any show that Telecharge doesn't sell will either be sold on http://www.ticketmaster.com or http://www.roundabouttheatre.org.

You will always get 100% accurate information on those sites, because they are the prime ticket sales sources.

Akiva, when I go to NYC, I try to fly in VERY early Wednesday and fly out Sunday- not only does that maximize shows but it tends to get me cheaper airfares.

Joe...we unfortunately have no choice but a Monday-thursday night trip at the most so we want to see as many shows (5) as we can in that time.

Also: some shows have a summer schedule, so be sure to look specifically at the date you are going and not the current schedule. I THINK they change around the time of the Tony Awards.

Yeah, shows change their schedules during the summer a lot. I know Mary Poppins will be starting a "summer schedule" very soon.

Playbill.com has a complete list of each show's performance schedule.

Here's the link:

They currently have Avenue Q, Chicago, Phantom & Rent as the only shows playing a Mondays. But that could all change as some shows change their schedules for the summer.
