4/23    How long do typical musicals last? less than 2 hours? 3 hours?
        \_ about 2.5 - 3 hours, including intermission
           \_ gah...  not if they're any good/well paced...  a musical shouldn't
              be longer than 2.5 hours, unless it's of the les miserables
              persuasion, in which case you really shouldn't bother.
              \_ Les Mis!  Better than Cats!
                                       \_ Or Phantom!
        \_ why, is some girlfriend dragging you to one?  it's not
           fucking worth it. it may only be a couple hours, but it
           will seem like a year.  save yourself now and find an
           excuse not to go.
           \_ Good plan.  The OP should suddenly get a call about a dead
              relative or something.  Maybe emergency liver transplant.
              Anything but a musical.
