What's the rush policy? Lottery, advance buy, morning-of, hour before curtain?

If anyone can snap a picture of the new marquee and post it that would be amazing!

If TDF is an option.... the seats have been very good !

fyi, the last three rows of the house are regularly priced at $26.50, and you could move down at intermissions.

The one show everyone on Broadway is waiting to see: Twyla Tharp presents: Big Bottom - The Spinal Tap Jukebox musical!

Student Rush IS an option for me!
How much? What time?
What's the policy/details?
I couldn't find it online

It's going to be near-impossible to find budgeted seats once the glowing reviews come out after opening night.

Rush is day of, $26.50, and I was seated in the first row of the rear mezzanine which was perfect given the size of the set.

EugLoven: i hope this show is a phenomenal success (as it deserves to be), but im very skeptical even unanimous critical raves will help a straight play fill the Imperial eight times a week ... i bet the discount codes last the length of the run.

Reading all of these positive comments makes me very excited to see it next Saturday afternoon!

Who knows- Letts' Bug had a more than respectable run Off-Broadway.

Osage is a limited run isn't it? I read that they extended to make up for the 3 weeks lost due to the strike. It is supposed to close on March 9th.

BUG was also in a tiny theater in comparison to the Imperial.

Yeah, I believe they are going to have a hard time filling the huge barn with positive reviews. Tourists will not be attracted, but we can spread the word and fill the theater. Everyone who reads this, go buy a ticket! or 5 tickets!

I can't wait to see this if and when my friend goes on!

Why not see it anyway?

Oh, I would see it anyway, I just would prefer to see my friend in it, as it would be the first time I see someone I (already) know on Broadway. I'm so excited for her!

A friend went last night (Sat) and he said that all except the last few rows of the rear mezz were filled. Of course, there has been a rush of business this weekend following the strike.

But, wouldn't it be excellent if a non-musical show could fill a house this size, the house of Les Miz?

Hey, I can dream...

I went today and it was nearly full; I was pleasantly surprised! Hopefully it will be able to sustain a large audience, especially after the reviews come out. I thought it was amazing.

When was the last time you saw a play that elicited yelps and shrieks at an act break?

Flawless ensemble work, but special attention must be paid to Amy Morton and Deanna Dunagan come Tony time.

What a hoot!

They are both outstanding, but Morton is SCARY good !!

The last 10 mins of Act II are something to behold !

Immediately after the second act ended I knew Amy Morton would be nominated for a Tony. She gave me chills the entire time she was on stage in the second and third act. Absolutely incredible.

Be careful! Some of these comments are boarder-line spoilers... if not giving away action, then at least making my heart a-flutter at the risk of knowing some of the punches.

Nothing could spoil this gem. I went in knowing that Fantasia makes an appearances in Act 3 (after she finishes TCP) and sings her number called, PILLS, PILLS, PILLS.
