Act length information?
#1Act length information?
Posted: 5/19/12 at 5:44pm
Does anyone know where one can find information on the length of each act of various shows (for example, to time medicine doses and such)? I can find the total running times on theatremania and whether or not the shows have intermissions, but I have not been able to find act lengths on individual show websites, theatremania or broadwayworld websites, wikipedia pages of the shows, or generic google searches. Any other ideas where to look, or is that information generally not posted anywhere?
Thanks in advance for any help!

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I have seen it on the web site for the particular show in the past.
As a side note, I love love a show that goes for say, 90 minutes with no intermission. Shoot right through it with no break!

I would imagine this information isn't readily available because theater owners want to prevent second acting.
Any usher should be able to tell you the length of a particular act.
