Tuesday – cast back from day off, need to get back into the swing of things.
Wednesday matinee – too many school and senior groups.
Wednesday night – tired from the matinee.
Thursday night – audience is tired as work week coming to end.
Friday night – audience slightly buzzed/drowsy; too many end of the week drinks at dinner.
Saturday matinee – tourists; had a show last night and have one tonight; cast went out for drinks last night after show
Saturday night – third show of a four (or five show) weekend.
