American Son Rush — Page 2

Got one an hour before curtain tonight. Row H last seat, full view.

But on the left side you do only see a little bit of that ending image in the background.

I didn’t even realize it was being advertised as a student rush. Regardless, I wasn’t asked to show an ID."

Thanks! I was able to pick up two this morning. They didn’t ask me either.

I’m so excited. I took the plunge and impulsively booked flights and hotel for Jan. 4 - 7, 2019 so I could catch Torch Song’s final performance on the 6th.

While there I’m going to see 4 other shows including American Son. I think my friend is going to come up from Ohio to join me just to see American Son. We’re both Scandal/Olivia Pop/Kerry Washington fans and we both work in progressive criminal justice reform so this seems to be a good fit for us. Also, I’m a fan of Steven Pasquale (have seen him previously in The Robber Bridegroom) and Jeremy Jordan (will be my first time seeing him on stage).

But I degress...

I initially thought we’d be best off going to TKTS for our tickets, but it looks like it is very easy to get rush tix? We are looking at Saturday Jan. 5th tickets, either matinee or evening.

Do they give out rush tix for both performances when box office opens at 10 a.m.? Looks like they’re usually front orchestra?

Also, I assume it will be pretty cold and I assume that (as well as time of year) will likely lead to less people lining up. So what time would you recommend lining up?

Lastly, I’d like to stagedoor with my friend (her first time). I’ll look to see if there is already a thread for this, but in case there is not, do you know if Kerry and the rest of the cast usually stagedoor and, if so, do they stagedoor after Saturday matinees (I know many casts of many shows do not).

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice and for reading my lengthy post. Be thankful you’re not trapped inside my head for the next 30 days. I’ll be obsessing about everything related to my trip until it happens. Lol

Hi!

Wonder if anyone can offer any advice, I can get row E centre Mezzanine for this tomorrow matinee, or row P seat 4 Orchestra. Also row H centre Mezzanine. Which would you guys go for?

Many thanks

If the rain lets up, I may try to see if they have any rush tickets left for tonight later this afternoon. Otherwise, I'm going to try to get up early and try for tomorrow. I live outside the city so I have to plan for train rides and such every time I come in for shows.

Trying for the rush tomorrow morning. What time have people been showing up lately?

I rushed last Saturday 12/29. Arrived at 9:10 and was 10th in line. By 10am I'd say another 10-15 were behind me. I had a choice of matinee or evening show but the ticket agent had a list in front of her with about 20 lines highlighted. I didn't get an exact count though.

Ended up Orchestra D14 which was far right. I don't feel like I missed anything though. Jeremy Jordan's character kept entering/exiting the stage from that side so I couldn't see him walk on or off.

I rushed this morning (1/12/19) and got to the theater at 8:30 and was first in line. By 8:45 there were about 7-10 people in line. They only had two rush tickets for the matinee and two for the evening, but they did sell standing room for the matinee this morning. I'm not sure when they started selling for the evening, but there was definitely standing room tonight.
