| This is just a guess but I think after the Tuesdays at Seven campaign was initiated many years ago, enough shows saw a positive tick, and possibly received favorable feedback from audiences who liked the option of an earlier start time, that they started extending the 7pm start to other weeknights. Personally I like a 7pm curtain on weeknights. I live in the city and even then the evening subway situation can be a drag. I also choose to get up very early in the morning because I like to go to the gym then, so I welcome the chance to go to bed a little earlier. It does make dinner really tight since I work until 6pm, but I think it's worth it. A tourist isn't coming from work so I imagine it is not that hard for them to start their pre-show meal at a time that lines up with the curtain, whether that is 7pm or 8pm. And for those who want to live it up, a 7pm curtain makes it possible to have a late dinner, but not impossibly late (I would consider having dinner after an 8pm show impossibly late). However, I don't think any of this has anything to do with the OP's post, which suggests people are not buying tix to the first week of Margaritaville because of the curtain time. It's the first week and this show is not arriving with any must-see buzz. And on the other hand, there are plenty of popular shows selling tickets to 8pm shows during the week. |
