Anyone willing to share some advice on how early to get in line tomorrow (Saturday)?

@sondmon: Ah, I figured it was something like that. Thanks! I'll have to visit again :)

Hi all! I'm planning a New York trip March 17-19 and was hoping to see this, but on the website it looks like there's a full week without performances March 13-20... Such a bummer! Is that typical for a show like this? Does it just mean people are off for vacation or something?

so happy to see such positive reviews for a show SO deserving. more new shows on Broadway, please!

Just got to the standby line! Seems like a big crowd to me...anyone have advice on how many tickets they usually give out? Trying to decide whether it's worth it to stay...

Quick bump since I'll be trying this weekend - any updates on the line status? Think it would be safe to arrive at 10am on Saturday to wait in line? Thanks in advance!

So interesting to see everyone's drastically different rankings! - AFTER MIDNIGHT: B - ALADDIN: C+ - BEAUTIFUL: B+ - IF/THEN: A (this song gives me chills!) - WICKED: C (womp) - HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH: A+ (LOVED NPH) - A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE: A++ (can't stop watching this one - so refreshing and funny!) - VIOLET: D - CABARET: C- - BULLETS OVER BROADWAY: (can't even remember) - THE LAST SHIP (Sting): D- (no) - FINDING NEVERLAND (Jennifer Hudson): B- (wish it had been Jeremy!) - THE MUSIC MAN r...

Just found out they're doing rush tickets so I'm elated! Do they definitely still do it for sold out performances? I'm thinking of trying next weekend but since that's closing weekend the line may be too insane :/

When I won we got last two seats in the second row, right Orchestra.

Saw the first preview as well and have to agree with everything that has been said - this was way too long and very slow/unnecessarily detailed. I never felt invested in the success of the show within a show (Once In A Lifetime), especially because the bits they did show (of the rehearsal process, etc.) did not seem engaging or funny :/ I did think Shaloub was wonderful, though. He transitions between characters and accents flawlessly, playing three completely different roles (the father, Kau...

Finally saw this tonight - HILARIOUS. And dark and surprising and moving. Just a fabulous play. And Sondheim was in the audience tonight! Loved hearing him chuckle throughout :) Definitely hope this gets new life with a transfer! The whole cast is excellent and Steven Boyer is a force.

Note cards!! Can't wait to hear more details about the new opening. And agreed, I am thrilled they are willing to make big changes!

What have the TKTS All The Way prices been like? Do they have rear mezz, for example, at the same discount? Or is it only pricier orchestra seats? Hoping to try this weekend and I don't use TKTS much...

LYLS3637 - yes, that's exactly it. Structurally, it works a lot better and while I thought the scene should be cut after seeing it in DC, I actually think it works now.

Great comments, WiCkEDrOcKS and qolbinau. I saw the show in DC (towards the end of the run) and again yesterday and feel it has improved immensely (although subtly). I think the story lines are a lot clearer but I still heard some people in the audience at intermission saying "I'm so confused - I think there might be two different stories?" which, maybe there's just no helping those people. I've been trying my hardest to remember the melody and lyrics of "Always Starting Over" because it's so...

My friend won the lottery for Saturday's matinee and our seats were second row, far right. Agreed with what has been said - you're looking up for those bridge/tier scenes but it's well worth it to be so close. Lottery crowd was big and I expect it will only get bigger! Very lucky to have won when we did :) Good luck to all!

Idina didn't come out after the matinee yesterday (Saturday) but James and Anthony and co all did! They've all been talking about how exhausted they are this weekend so maybe it won't be a regular thing that she doesn't come out after matinees but I'm not sure. They were all super nice and the crowd the other day wasn't bad- big but very polite.

I'm surprised they're taping on the one day Audra won't be there! Bummed since that's when I have tickets, too

Hm, so far I'm not hearing a huge number of changes from DC... I wonder how many changes they'll make during previews :/ I was really hoping they'd cut the stupid plane crash, too. Overall, not surprised to see mixed reviews but happy everyone seems to be unanimous about Idina :)

I'm another one anxiously waiting the first reports! So curious what changes they've made. I so badly want this show to be great!
