Do shows still rush on its final week? I'm planning on going either the 17th or 18th, and want to rush it!
I rushed Gypsy three times in the final week, including the closing performance. But you never know... I say go for it! Thanks for the time advice bwaylvsong

Anyone done it recently? I'm finally going tomorrow and wanted to know if it's been busy lately with the closing approaching.
I got there around 9:15ish on Saturday and got standing spot number 13 for the evening show. The line was slightly confusing because there are also people in line who had come early to try to get full priced tickets. Standing through a sold out three hour show was a little difficult, but the view was amazing, and it was fun to know that I paid a hundred dollars less than the people in front of me.
yeah I got there right around 8am on Saturday and was 2nd in line. Great view from the back but I'd suggest spending the day lounging if you're going to be standing. I walked around all day and my feet were pretty worn out by the end of the show. But it was wonderful! A lot of late comers to the show on Saturday though, which as always, was distracting.

I did it today and got there around 8am, and there were already 5 people in line. By 10 there were maybe a total of 10 or 11 people in line...not sure if everyone got tickets
I went on Sunday, got there at 11:55am after waiting at TKTS only to find that their cheapest ticket was $88. I'm not sure how many people were in front of me but I got standing room location #12. It was a perfect view! Nothing obscured or missed at all. Most everyone else there was allowed to go sit in the boxes after intermission, but I stayed as the view was excellent. Amazing that the people right in front of me paid $137+ for their seats compared to my $27.
I'd like to try rush the "closing" performance. They should still have the rush that day, right? Anyone rushed a closing before? If the box office opens at 12, should I be okay if I'm there by 8?
Did anyone rush the show today (Tuesday)? I was wondering if it got a lot more insane the Tuesday after the Tonys.

i got there at 8:15 this morning and was about 12th on line. A lot more people came soon after.
So are the rush tickets SRO? Or do they have seats too?
I believe they're SRO (someone correct me if I'm wrong). For AL and CZJ's final performance I stood for Act I and got to move down to an empty seat front row center for Act II.
well I won't be getting to broadway until after CZJ and AL end their run. I am hoping to see Bernadette a secret dream of mine. I wonder if they will still do rush that is SRO. I don't know about SRO never done it.
Well CZJ and AL are done as of two days ago. I would assume they would keep it SRO. Night Music SRO is actually really great. The view is fantastic (back of the orchestra) and there is a banister you can lean on, but the show is long which is the only drawback of standing. I guess the only other drawback was that I was very aware of the house staff and their movements from back there. Definitely worth the price...I highly recommend it!
Anybody done rush since BP and ES have been in the show? Reports? Time? Seat type?
I was able to get a rush ticket at the back of the Mezz at 6:00 for a 7:00 show. The view was great, since the Mezz is pretty steep at the Kerr.
Geez- scarywarhol what day of the week was that on? That's crazy!
Got to the box office at 9:45 this morning and there were maybe fifteen people ahead of me. Still easily got a rush ticket for tonight--front side orchestra.
Friday! Yeah, it was a great deal. There were some empty seats to the side of me, too. Otherwise, the mezz was full.
