What would you do if you were performing on Broadway in between shows on Matinee Days?

[EdEval]

I  would stay put at the theatre in my dressing room and catch up on reading and if I was hungry order food in and after I was done getting into my costume nervous nelly as I am and be ready to go for the next curtain.

Ok

[Lavieboheme3090]

I’d catch up on my Cameo appointments.

Sleep.

Way to many variables: length of the show, how draining the performance is, the weather, how close you live, do you need a pick me up from the stage door crowd, what do you want to eat, are people you like (or don't like) around the theatre. 

[TheGingerBreadMan]

As an actor myself (not on Broadway, but nonetheless) I typically get food and nap.

[yankeefan7]

Eat a snack, check my email and maybe do the stage door thing.

[Niles Silvers]

Answer fan mail.

[Jordan Catalano]

Probably walk a couple blocks to my apartment and play with my dog and watch Judge Judy.

[bwaylvsong]

If I were on Broadway, I would be able to afford to live nearby, so I would go home and rest, watch TV, and eat a light dinner.
When I have performed in two-show days (not on Broadway), I usually went to a coffee shop to relax and have a coffee/snack, and then went back to the theatre looooong before my call time.

I remember Lindsay Mendez asking that quesiton to her castmates at Carousel last summer... Funniest one is watching/listening to FRASIER to fall asleep.

Like everyone says, it depends on the length of the show, the location of the theater, etc.

That being said, I was in an Off-Broadway show that was very long. We didn't have much time between performances, so I started a tradition every two-show day where we'd go to the McDonald's down the block and get Happy Meals. Then we'd give the toys names and eventually hide them in places around the theater/dressing room.

Actors do weird/silly things...

Take a nap.

[quizking101]

Depending on the time allotted between shows (since a gap can last anywhere from 2.5 to 4 hours),

1. Definitely Food
2. Maybe do the stage door if I’m not beat.
3. Rest up

There's Broadway Sandwich series, I think it's also available on YouTube, where they spent their in-between show time with stars from The Band's Visit, Wicked, OOTI, Hamilton, and more. 

[Miles2Go2]

Maybe Lin will pop up and share what he does between shows on two show days. He does post infrequently on here!

[haterobics]

I can't say, since it would enable people to more easily find me if I decide not to stagedoor.

[magictodo123]

Take a nap.

Eat.

Catch up on fan mail.

Spend some time with cast mates :) 

Oh did I mention sleep?
