BRIGHT STAR Rush

Rushed for last night's show! Immediately after nominations, I knew it would be a special performance so I went to the theater at about 10:30. Got two seats (no idea how many people had lined up prior to box office opening). The seats were pretty great! They were on the right side of the orchestra about 4 rows back. Having seen the show from the balcony already, I absolutely loved sitting up close and getting to see the beautiful acting being done on stage. You could see Carmen Cusack's tears in "I Had a Vision." It was so incredibly moving and the seats provided such intimacy.

I got a great balcony seat a few weeks ago around 1pm for a Sat night show. Great view and show!

I haven't rushed since previews. I got there just as the box office was opening on a 2 show day and was given a center orchestra seat, 4th or 5th row. Went to the show again last night and as I was picking up my tickets at the box office, around 5:20pm, the man in front of me asked for rush and he was seated front row, all the way to the left. Honestly, it looked like a horrible seat, he was pretty much staring at the wall if he didn't turn to look at the stage. But, he was still able to get a ticket at 5:30!

11:30 am today. Asked for 2 seats. Was offered side mezz. Not sure if availability would have been better for a single seat.

Walked up around 3:30 to try and get a ticket for tonight and was told they were out of rush. Sitting in the balcony ($39 with a discount code and I actually really like the view from there for this show).

I saw the show from the balcony today through TodayTix (sounds like it would have been cheaper to buy at the box office with a discount code, though!). The view from the balcony is great! When I saw the show in previews, I was rear orchestra on the right hand side. I much preferred the centered balcony seating.

^ I guess it all comes down to personal preference. I prefer the mezz or balcony towards the center over any type of rear orchestra or side orchestra seat. The balcony is a great view for this show, though.

I don't have it handy at the moment, but the code is on Theatermania and it's good for the front balcony. To me, it didn't feel as far away as it looks like it is. That being said - I've sat all over for this show, and if I had to pick one place to sit every time, it would be the front row of the mezzanine.

Question: Is the Bright Star rush cash only or can you use credit cards? Also, is there tax or is it thirty dollars even?

Thanks!

How many people were in front of you when you got in line?

Makes me so happy to hear that the demand to rush tickets is picking up! But reminds that I missed the grosses yesterday, gotta go find them and have a look.

"If I remember correctly, they increased about 6%, it might not be a huge increase but it's always nice to see a number with no negative in front of it!

"

Remembered correctly. Well, if they add 6% and $50,000 each week from now on, they'll be happy as a clam in no time Fingers crossed the upward trend continues and they get a few more awards come Drama Desk time!
