Not all Broadway shows are created equal when it comes to runtime*. While some productions might wrap up in an hour and a half or less, others can last for double that, complete with multiple intermissions. Will you make your train home? Will you arrive home in time to relieve the sitter? Don't let your own anxiety about runtime ruin the eleven o'clock number. Know before you go and enjoy your show worry-free!

*Runtime: the total duration of a show, from start to finish (intermission(s) included)

Check out when your show will wrap up with BroadwayWorld's runtime calculator below:
