I woud say 2 to almost 3 hours for me {if it's a good show, and including intermission}

4 hours is REALLY long!.!.!.it would be hard to keep me interested!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Two hours or at a push 2 and a half!. If there is enough in it to keep you entertained so well that you forget the time, then fine, but now you have reminded me, I am going to see if any reviews are out!. Won't go and see it myself as the story doesn't appeal!. Pity all who are working on the show!. Matinee days must be really long!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh really!? I do love theatre but, the evening encompassed for me is the pre-theatre meal/drinks and one hour (Maybe 1!.5 hours) for first half!. Then a break for a pre-ordered glass of wine and another hour, again to 1!.5 MAXWww@QuestionHome@Com
