Short Broadway Shows and Shows Without Intermission

Several Broadway productions fit into 80–100 minutes without an intermission. That can leave more time for dinner or a train, provided you allow time to enter and leave the theatre.

Build in a buffer

The published runtime begins with the show itself. Leave room for security, a delayed start, bows and the exit crowd. If you need to step out, ask the ushers about re-entry before curtain. Pick a later train or a flexible dinner reservation if your schedule gives you little margin.
