Anyone know why the Sunday, 11/6 performance of Hamilton has a 1:00 curtain? With an 8:00 show the night before, will standbys to the standbys be filling all the main roles?

I know its the day of the New York City Marathon but wouldn't think that would be the reason.

do the standbys have their own standbys?

Could be a public appearance (or a private one) that night.

With an organization as big as the one running the marathon, I'm thinking too there's some Ham event related to it.

I doubt it is the marathon which is done and gone by then. It could also be something related to the election. or something else.

It's also the end of daylight savings, but that would be more plausible if it were 2pm start...

This was the show that was released to the public much later, making us think that it was previously going to be a performance attached to an event (some guessed something Wesleyan related?) but got cancelled. It could be that this performance was always scheduled to start at 1:00pm because of whatever events were originally associated with it so when it was cancelled they kept the time.
