Typically, Broadway theaters are dark on Mondays, meaning there are no performances scheduled. However, some shows may have special Monday performances or adjusted schedules, so it's best to check the specific show's performance calendar for accurate information. Additionally, you can also explore off-Broadway theaters, which may have performances on Mondays.
Most, but not all, Broadway shows do not hold performances on Monday. The theater is said to be "dark" or down then, so Broadway actors tend to have off on that day. Usually the actors give eight performances Tuesday-Sunday including evening shows and two matinees (primarily Wednesday and Sunday).
