The differences between the two include performance arrangements and ticket prices.

1. Performance arrangements: Standard performances are often held on weekends or holidays, and the performances are relatively long, usually lasting several hours. Such an arrangement can attract a larger audience because people usually have more free time during these times. Weekly halftime is usually held in the middle of the week, such as Tuesday to Thursday. Due to the weekdays, the audience may be relatively small. But it also opens up more options for those who have free time during the workday.

2. Ticket price difference: Due to the longer performance time, production costs and actors' remuneration are relatively high in standard venues, so the ticket price is often relatively high. Since the mid-week show takes place on a weekday, it will attract some audiences who are interested in musicals but have limited budgets, so the ticket prices will be relatively low.
