It lasted 1 1/2 hrs. and they have screens so you can see up close if your seats aren't center stage. Small town version of a big town fair, but fun for a day trip out of The Villages. Took 301 S to 39A and parked across the street from the grounds for $10 - easy in and out. LOTS of food vendors.
We made the same trip and enjoyed it very much. But we are not from New York.
