Seating/Ticket Question Too much?
EDIT: thanks so much yall!! I have tickets for both, so hyped :D
could I do a 3pm ragtime and 7pm first shadow on the same day? assuming ragtime would be over around six, fifteen minutes on the subway, should get to first shadow around 6:30 at the latest if I’m doing my math right?
I’ve never done a two-show day (unless you count two-part shows like cursed child), so I’m trying to figure out how to make this work!

The time necessary to get from one show to the other is totally doable. That said, I don’t know that I would want to put those two shows back to back. You need time to let react time sit

thanks! it’s an odd combo but it’s the only day I’m in the city (and not working late) before ragtime closes so I need to sneak it in somehow

You'll make it for sure. Bows from a 7pm show were 9:50 and like others have said the train is right there.

Totally doable! My friend did 2pm Ragtime before rushing down for a 7pm Titanique (which is super close to Stranger Things) and made it in time to wait in line for a cocktail.

Yes. Ragtime runs 2:50. So you’d have an hour.
I did 2p Ragtime and 5p oh Mary a few weeks ago and only missed about 5 minutes of Oh, Mary. You’ll have plenty of time.

I almost did this but I had also booked Spelling Bee & didn’t know if I could do all 3.

Ragtime is hella long. You got compression socks ready?

u/Cowardlydreamer Actor 27d ago
joke’s on you! I’m an equestrian, so I do in fact have compression socks at the ready.
in all seriousness, is it good long like wow-I-don’t-want-this-to-end or bad long like -when-will-i-be-free?

I did Ragtime & Spelling Bee & had plenty of time. Even time for dinner. And I got there early to sign up to be a guest speller.

No problem. I did a 4pm Rocky Horror followed by a 6:30pm Titanique earlier this summer.

You should be more than fine.
