OK, here's something I didn't know...

There's a program on Broadway called "Tuesdays at Seven", which means that many shows start earlier on Tuesday...at, uh, well, seven...

So, two things I didn't know here:

1. I knew that shows start earlier on Tuesdays, but I didn't know that it was an organized pan-Broadway initiative. More importantly, I had no idea that the brilliant Susan Lee was the mastermind. Susan: You rock!

2. I didn't know that the clock in Times Square chimes at 7:45 pm Wednesday to Sunday to announce curtain (probably because I'm already well-ensconced in my seat by then: People...GET TO THE THEATRE ON TIME...). I also didn't know that the the clock in Times Square chimes at 6:45 pm on Tuesdays...

Apparently, Tuesdays have traditionally been a weak night (hehe...get it...weak night...man, sometimes I kill myself) and after doing some research it was discovered that one point of resistance to theatre on Tuesday is that it made for a very late night near the beginning of the week.

So, Susan moved the clock back an hour. I love stuff like that!
