Hi, guys. Sorry I wasn't able to post today. A couple of updates.
First--full disclosure. Amanda Peet had to drop out late this afternoon. She's been a trouper for us--posing for a spread in Glamour to raise money for the charity and awareness for the show, etc. So I'm sure it's something important, though it just happened and I haven't found out what yet.
The other update is about the RENT blog. I just got the email that it was up. We are selling really well. There are no more than 75 seats left in the house. So if you really want to make sure you get in, the Rent discount is the way to go (but pay full price if you can, of course, since it's all for a good--and underfunded--cause:

For those of you who have no other option (and a valid student ID), there is still the $25 student rush. We have reserved the boxes in the balcony for students. There are not a lot of seats--12 for sure + whatever we don't sell in advance or at the door. We have a big bloc of seats for people who took advantage of a Bloomingdale's promotion and sometimes they don't show up, so there may be some opportunity there-gotta check to see if it's legal. But there could be as few as 12.
I don't want people to have to wait in line, especially if we have bad Wilma-related weather, and then have most of them be disappointed. I like the idea of the Avenue Q-stype lottery, but it seems like more of a pain in the ass for our volunteer staff.
What do people think of the lottery? If it is not a good thing, then I won't bother. The same holds true if it's poor form to announce a rush policy then change it.
Anyway, forgive the confusion, The 24 Hour Plays off-Broadway ("normal") shows have a much more informal rush procedure, so we're not used to this. If I don't get a chance to post again, assume that means there is no lottery and we will follow the rush guidelines already posted here.
