Personally I wouldn't want to be driving a van full of girls home (are they all crashing at your place after the show?) after a 25-30 minute drive at approx. 2 am. The closer to home at that hour the better for me. Maybe you can get each girl to split the cost with you in order to go the the closer theater. At the price of gas these days, that would be a savings to you right there. And snacks at midnight??? Just throw some candy bars or licorice in your purses. Haven't been to a show in years and not sure if they allow you to bring in your own bottles of water.
