You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the feedback. We decided against it, they were decent seats at only $40 each.

Anyone rush this on a Saturday lately? Sounds like mostly Sro and partial views are given?

Got the option to get a pair of cheap tickets for cursed child part 2 but we haven’t seen part 1? Anyone else done this? We’re huge Harry Potter fans but...

Thanks everyone! I didn't have either Mean Girls or Once on this Island on the radar so this was super helpful. Will definitely try for Mean Girls, and Once on this Island on lotto. With a fall back plan of Waitress and School of Rock. Has anyone tried the Once on this Island lotto? It appears to be a traditional in person?

Looks like there might be an in person lottery that we could shoot for. I definitely checked this one out, looks like it could be fun. Thanks for the recommendation Armie!

We're coming into New York for just two days this weekend, and I've read as much as I can and I'm having a tough time finding something were excited about seeing?We love big sets, big numbers, or funny. We've never really got the more "artsy" shows. I.e. I don't think The Band's Visit is going to be for us from what I've read.Some of our favorites in the past:Kinky Boots, Newsies, Wicked, Matilda, Mary PoppinsSome that were well reviewed but we didn't really get it?Warhorse, Color Purple, Onc...

Thanks aaaa appreciate the quick response as I'm literally in the rush line right now.

I heard a rumor that Cynthia Erivo does not star in the matinees...is that complete rubbish from anyones experiences? Or does she usually not act the matinees?

I rushed this last Sunday 6/1 and I got there at 12:15 and lucked out. They had 1 rush ticket left and it was dead center 3rd row golden circle. Thought the musical was highly underated actually. I found it to be quite enjoyable...the set work is fantastic.

Yea I think so to. I didn't mean to make us sound like total prudes haha. But I do think there was a dramatic difference between say the humor in Priscilla Queen of the Desert vs. Book of Mormon. Priscilla had some areas of strong sexual innuendo and the F word was used on some occasions but it wasn't talking about *SPOILER ALERT!* mutilation of someone's "goods" and f-ing babies to get rid of AIDS. You know what I mean? There's a HUGE difference in my mind there.

Haha...didn't even consider proper punctuation but I do now see how that was a bad idea. We actually have no kids. In all honesty we're just not huge fans of over the top cussing, sexual innuendo etc. in any movies we watch or plays we see. Neither of us really enjoyed Book of Mormon or Avenue Q for example. We just have a tough time getting into over the top raw kind of humor just trying to get a shock out of ya...it doesn't usually work for us. On that same token we loved Jersey Boys which ...

Perfect. This will definitely be on our list I like the sound of it. It looks like it has a Mystery of Edwin Drood/One Man, Two Guvnors feel to it. Is that a better description? Or does that suck as a comparison too?

I'm seeing comparison's to Book of Mormon but I really can't find much on this play in terms of appropriate for children? Is it "dirty" like Book of Mormon? Is there lots of cussing etc. someone put a movie style rating on it for me please?

If I'm a student and my wife is not can I buy two tickets and she can use one? Or do they check student ids for both? Big fish is what we're looking at.

Well this sounds pretty unanimous on the Pippin front so that's good. I'll definitely try to get to Pippin. It's on TDF almost everyday so if I fail at the lotto for Kinky that seems like a good backup plan. The partial view seats people get from Rush tickets have some mixed reviews? Three questions: Once - Someone compared Once to Jersey Boys up above? It doesn't look anything like Jersey Boys to me so can I get some more detail about this one? Were more into big stages, fun music, and compl...

Pippin's on rush that would be great. I have questions though. We we're not very into the cirque de soleil shows we've seen, and we liked Traces but it certainly didn't blow our minds. Is it comparable to those? Or would you say no?

So we're coming to NYC. We've been about 3-4 times now and we always try to get 3 or 4 shows in. Hoping you guys can help me pick some shows since you guys have never disappointed me in the past. Here's what we've seen and how we'd rank them to give you an idea. Loved em: Mystery of Edwin Drood Newsies Jersey Boys (Vegas) Priscilla Queen of the Desert Wicked Liked em': Mary Poppins Memphis Les Miserables (On Tour) These were ok: Elf Spider Man Traces Avenue Q Meh: Sleep No More Lion King (On ...

I was just reading about the harsh language in Jersey Boys. My wife hates watching movies where every other word is the F word that might've just got voted off. Might be Peter and the Starcatcher and Drood now.

So we'll get in sometime around noonish on Wednesday November 19th. Do you think it'll be possible to score general/student rush for either Drood or Jersey Boys? Or no freaking way they'll all be gone right at 10?

There was a bit of a hyperbole in there sally. I mean I get it. Warhorse was considered a play. We just really like the "musical live-singing" aspect of the shows we've seen. I mean if you look at my top 4 you can kinda tell. I'm definitely open to the idea, I've added it to my list for sure. Alot of people talk about peter and the starcatcher on here. You guys have convinced me on Edwin Drood. I have one more slot and it'll be either Peter and the Starcatcher, Jersey Boys or Nice Work If You...
