Have often been able to do 3 show days by squeezing a 5pm in between 2pm & 8pm shows on a Saturday. Some good, some terrible. Have looked thru off-Broadway listings and didn't see ANY current shows (going mid-Oct) with 5pm starts. Am I missing anything?

I don’t think so. I’d love a 5 pm show. That way I can get two shows in on a Saturday instead of having to spend more money on trains over multiple weekends.

You might be able to make it happen if you are willing to do late night off-Broadway immersive show like Sleep No More or Then She Fell after an evening show then late middle of night train home. That would work best with matinee, 8:00 p.m. Broadway Saturday show then midnight Sleep No More. I think Then She Fell stops taking entries at 1030.

London does an occasional 5 p.m. show and I wish we did so here. A Sunday would be perfect. especially good for theatre tourists.

If you could do Sunday, you could do a matinee then Aladdin (or The Lion King) at 630 then Then She Fell at 1030. I did this almost theee years ago. Be warned though that Then She Fell is in Brooklyn.

The Imbible: A Spirited History of Drinking playing at the New World Stages has a 5 p.m. Saturday show. It's a history of drinking told with a comedic flair. I did it a few Saturdays ago and it was a lot of fun. You also get 3 free drinks which makes for a nice middle show on a 3 show day. You're out by 6:45.

Then She Fell would have been perfect for a late night show... pretty much sold out the weekend we're there (Sunday is completely sold out, and the late show on Fri only seems to have a single premium ticket left.)

Gonna look into Imbible further. Thx!

I use it as a running joke when I bring friends into town who think two shows in a day is a lot, so I always offer to add Naked Boys Singing in between...

Went with The Imbible... not too excited about it, but I know some friends who liked it and whose opinion I (usually) trust.

Rags Parkland, a new musical at Ars Nova (birthplace of Great Comet, KPOP, etc) is superb and I'm so disappointed I didn't see this thread sooner. They have 5pm Saturday shows.
