Broadway Theaters Consider 7:00 P.M. Curtain

Some Broadway theaters are looking to move the curtain up an hour to 7:00 PM from 8:00 PM on Tuesdays, the slowest night of the week on the Great White Way, starting the second week in January. In a way to help attract new theatergoers, Disney, Dodger Theatricals and Cameron Macintosh are responding to market research that indicated families liked the idea of getting home earlier. The promotional campaign will be called "Tuesdays at Seven."

The New York Philharmonic will start its new season with a 7:30 p.m. curtain this week.
