This is what you have:
if ($todaydate > $showenddate):
echo "The date of the show has not yet arrived<br>";
else:
echo "The show has ended<br>";
endif;
That says: if the current time is later than the end date of the show, tell them the date of the show hasn't arrived yet.
What you mean is: if the current time is later than the end of the show, tell them the show has ended.
if ($todaydate < $showenddate):
echo "The date of the show has not yet arrived<br>";
else:
echo "The show has ended<br>";
endif;
It's a simple logic error.
