If you find yourself wondering about what to wear to the theatre, try and stick to semi-casual or semi-formal. Jeans are fine, but do avoid clothing that borders on sportswear.<\/p>\n<p>The theatres are air conditioned year round. While this might be a pleasant relief from the summer heat, it can get a little chilly in the cooler months. Bring a light sweater or jacket to be on the safe side, especially if you tend to run cold.<\/p>\n<h2>How Long Is a Broadway Show<\/h2>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/blog-banner\/image\/08d2a3719838aa8fad80fa7276c31762-pexels-yuting-gao-1089194.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=1200&amp;h=600&amp;q=20&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" alt=\"broadway best seats\" width=\"668\" height=\"223\" style=\"width: 668px;\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"916938610\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re planning to watch a Broadway show, one question that\u2019s sure to pop up in your mind is, \u201cHow long is a Broadway show?\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the duration of Broadway shows vary from one to another. Some shows like Angels in America have two parts, where one part is 3 hours long and the second part is 4 hours long. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/broadway-tickets\/wicked-e-512\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wicked<\/a> runs for 2 hours and 45 minutes, with an interval in between, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/broadway-tickets\/drunk-shakespeare-e-722\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Drunk Shakespeare<\/a> runs for an hour and a half.<\/p>\n<p>However, most Broadway shows aren\u2019t this long. On an average, Broadway shows range between the 90-minute to 2 hour mark, making it perfect for an evening out.<\/p>\n<p>Given that most Broadway shows begin by 7-8 PM, you can either have dinner before the show, or once the show finishes by 9-10 PM, you can go out for some post-show dinner and drinks.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to Eat Before or After a Broadway Show<\/h2>\n<p>In New York City, there is absolutely no shortage of good food. From Italian to French, South African to Indian, Japanese to Middle Eastern, you can find it all within a short distance of any Broadway theatre. So where should you eat before or after your Broadway show?<\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/blog-content\/image\/2e9c9f71ec6f4610eba70c40d3f30392-pexels-jonathan-borba-2983101%20(1).jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=1200&amp;h=600&amp;q=20&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" alt=\"broadway restaurant\" width=\"668\" height=\"223\" style=\"width: 668px;\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1702816072\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/best-theater-district-restaurants\/\">guide to the best theatre district restaurants <\/a>will help you discover the perfect place for a pre-show dinner or snack. Fine dining, casual eateries, or in between &#8211; take your pick.<\/p>\n<p>Restaurants in the theatre district are quite used to seating and serving theatre goers, but it doesn\u2019t hurt to mention you have a curtain to make. On that same note, it\u2019s also your responsibility to allow for enough time. If your play begins at 8pm, make the reservation for 6 pm at the latest, just to be safe.<\/p>\n<h2>Sharing Your Broadway Experience<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve done it!

After graduating with a degree in Journalism and a minor in Anthropology and Geography, she set off to explore the world - one extraordinary experience after the other. A writer and travel enthusiast, she has an insatiable hunger for the unfamiliar - a trait that regularly has her venturing off to locations across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the US. From sipping wine in a Florence cafe to standing just feet away from an active volcano in Ethiopia, she thrives off immersing herself in exciting experiences. You\u2019ll most likely find her lost in a local market, next to a beach, or on the hunt for street food. She loves adrenaline, coffee, and will eat anything at least once\u2026 yes, even roasted rat, a Ghanaian delicacy.","url":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/author\/stephanie\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2547"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2547"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2547\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":190453,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2547\/revisions\/190453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
