If you want to take in a little fresh air at intermission, getting outside the Broadway theater is a possibility. Of course, nowadays, most drinks are served in spill-proof cups, and you can take those back to your seat with you.Įscaping the Crowds and Enjoying the Night Air - Avoid The Smokers The best reason for arriving at the bar early is to ensure that you have time to enjoy your beverage before going back to your seat. But even if there is already a sizable line when you get there, bear in mind that Broadway bartenders are skilled at doling out the drinks and candy quickly, so the line moves fast (just make sure you have your money ready, so you’re not holding it up). Similar rules apply for getting a drink or snack at the bar during intermission. Strangely, the majority of audience members make their way to the restrooms in a leisurely fashion, so if you zip over there right away, you’re very likely to beat the crowds. If you want to successfully get to the bathroom and back to your seat before Act II, we recommend that you plan to run like your life depends on it the minute the Act I curtain goes down. ![]() Thankfully most theaters have upgraded their facilities by now, but the restroom line continues to be epic during Broadway intermissions. There are still a few old Broadway theaters that have restrooms with just three or four stalls in them. The biggest trial during intermission - especially for women - is the bathroom break.

Intermissions can be anywhere from 10-20 minutes, with 15-minute breaks being by far the most common. Most Broadway shows with a running time that exceeds 90 minutes will include an intermission.
