Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.

The Lowdown
What do you do with the time you have left? Nick Blaemire's musical Soon hands that question to Charlie, a twenty-something who has decided the world is ending and has settled in to wait for it. Her friend Jonah has other ideas — mainly that she start living before the clock runs out. But first Charlie has to do the single hardest thing she can imagine: open the front door.
Arriving at The Loft at St. Luke's Theatre and directed by Will Blum, Soon is a small, warm, tuneful show about dread, hope, and the terrifying act of stepping outside. Blaemire writes the kind of pop-forward theater songs that stick to you on the subway ride home, and a tight cast — Oliver Richman, Ava Delaney, Mylinda Hull, and Mike Millan — brings it to life.
An intimate Midtown musical, exactly the kind we love to send you to. First previews September 30.

Won a seat to Soon for the price of a deli lunch? Struck out a dozen times trying? Either way, the next New Yorker hitting refresh on the lottery wants to hear about it. Be the first on the board.
