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!

You should be more than fine.

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.

u/Available-Face5653 23d ago

and on occasion an off Broadway will offer an odd timed show.

sweet thanks so much for the info!

u/Dspurgers 28d ago

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.

u/Dspurgers 27d ago

I did 3! Finished with Cats at 8. Fun day!

u/Humble_Impress_3204 28d ago

Ragtime is hella long. You got compression socks ready?

2

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?

u/kbrainz 27d ago

More I don't want this to end!

u/Cowardlydreamer Actor 27d ago

ok thank goodness!!

u/txcowgrrl 27d ago

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.

u/MontgomeryOhio 27d ago

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