Wishing Broadway was open on 12/31.

It’s because of the ball drop in Times Square later that evening.

I saw Brooklyn on Broadway on December 31, 2004. Besides the terrible show, it was not a fun experience trying to get past all the security to the theater and then trying to get out of the Times Square mess afterward. I would never see a Broadway show on New Year's eve unless I was staying in a Times Square hotel on the same side of Times Square as the theater.

I checked the schedule and there are NO shows performing that night--unless I want to travel all the was to Lincoln Center and that place gives me the creeps.

I think I'll go to the movies that night."

Well played.

We saw Oh Hello on NYE 2016/2017 and it took forever to get to the Lyceum. We saw something at the Mitzi that night (it wasn't that scary) as that was about it for options
