June Squibb on Broadway is all I need!

Got 2 tix for last Saturday night and the seats were Row G in the dress circle, really excellent seats for the show. Had a friend rush a single ticket and she was placed in Dress Circle as well, but in the last row House Left. 

My friends and I got SRO for the Sat matinee without any issue or standing in line beforehand. It was a couple of hours before the show and they were dead center. My friends sat on the floor for some of the moments on the second level, but I got all I needed to see from Matt Bomer....

It's certainly possible, but the shows on your list have not announced rush/discount policies yet, so trying to plan now is pretty difficult. if you can, try to find someone willing to get in line for one show while you're in line for another.

Some of the numbers are absolutely fantastic ("Fins," "Margaritaville," etc) but some just strike me as...way too sanitized/altered ("We Are the People Our Parents Warned Us About" for my tastes (as a Buffett fan). I'm still curious to see this staged at the Marquis, but I have a more mixed opinion about the music right now.

Definitely agree that the orchestrations are a refreshing change from the typical Broadway fare, though."

After seeing the pre-bway run in Chicago...the staging does not help ANYTHING. I sat in amazement that this was the same team behind Come From Away. 

Trust...based on the choreography of the Chicago production, and the audience reaction when I saw it, the dancing is INCREDIBLY satisfying, electric, and exciting. 

I did a Late March/Early April trip in 2016 and it was seriously the best. Weather was perfect for rushing in the morning, there was a good balance of shows in previews/just opened, so tickets seemed easier to get/cheaper to purchase just before Tony time.  

I had the pleasure of experiencing this production from onstage and if you can find a spot in the front row, DO IT. the action just inches from my face was exhilarating.

This was Contact. Angel was much more a dancer than singer, so our Alexli Darling was pushed around on the cart by the bag lady as a Diva character singing the "Take Me" portion while Angel danced the ravages of their disease

I was able to connect with the material in a way I hadn't ever before. There were some complaints that it wasn't the best sung Rent that had ever been staged... and that's probably true... but while losing a big it gained quite a bit too.

Working on this production was one of the first shows I worked on in Chicago. I saw it so many times and felt grateful for it. I still have video of Seasons of Love and it's just beautifully haunting.

A place like the Chopin or the Den would be ideal for Ghost Quartet in Chicago. CST audiences wouldn't know what to make of it (they barely stay awake for shows they subscribe to.) 

Ghost. Ghost...oh god, was it horrendous. 

Now. Like right now. 

I grabbed a $35 rush ticket an hour before curtain that was sold as a "partial view", but it was the first row of the dress circle and I had zero obstruction. In case you wanted to guarantee you see the show.

What the HELL is your vendetta against Oak? Seriously dude. You can't blame the actor for the actions of the freaking producers.

I just went by the theatre and asked about Rush for the weekend. There were 6 tickets for today and the past couple of days they have not had any. If they were to have any the rest of the weekend, it'd be no more than 10. Since this was THE show I wanted to see this trip, I jumped at the $59 mezz seat available.
