What is the running time for a theatre show?
A typical show has two acts with a 20-minute interval and lasts 2 to 2.5 hours.
If the running time of a show is known in advance it will be published on the event page.
If the running time of a show is not known in advance the visiting company will provide this information when they arrive on the day.
Children's shows are usually shorter and will often run for one hour with no interval.
