A Couple Questions

My friend and I are going to be in the city next week, and want to pick up a couple extra shows on Wednesday using rush.

First question, I know Hugh Jackman Back on Broadway has been switched to a student rush for 25 and under, but my friend and I are both 26, and were wondering if they had been lenient at all on the age limit? I know it's probably a long shot.

Next question, if we get to the box office at 10:30-11:00am, would there still be SRO available if we were unable to do rush? I've already checked Telecharge and the show appears to be completely sold out for both Wed shows. Is the SRO view decent?

Last question, we also want to try to rush How To Succeed. What time would you suggest we get in line? Not opposed to getting up really early, but not sure if it's needed. Has it picked up now that it's getting closer to Daniel Radcliffe's last performance?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give us!

For your first question, do you have an old college or high school ID? If they even ask for it, which they might not, just hold it up to the window and you should be fine. Unless you look like Elaine Stritch's older sibling......

How to Succeed has always been a busy rush with long lines, but they often have a ton of rush tickets to sell. Most of the time the first person is there at around 6, but I got there at 8 and was about 19th in line during the summer. The line must have grown to 50+ people, and I stuck around and at least from what I observed everyone got a ticket. I bet it's about the same now, but as always, the earlier the better.

Thanks for the response! We are both students with IDs, but didn't know if they were really strict on the age limit thing. I think we'll head to the box office and give it a try, and go with SRO if it doesn't work.

Thanks again! Any others with recent experiences?
