Best Rush Seats

Was wondering which show was giving out the best available seats to rush? I'd especially be interested in Beautiful, Bullets over Broadway & Bridges of Madison County. I checked the rush report and see that none are ridiculously early camp out times but wasn't sure which offered the best seating locations. Any and all insight is helpful. Thanks!

The rush for Bridges of Madison County is great - they will tell you the tickets are partial view but they're fantastic. I rushed on a Friday night after work at about 5:45 pm and was seated in Row E orchestra left, about three seats from the far aisle - you miss the entrances and exits from the left side but no bother, you get to see and hear all the leads perfect.

Some of the rush tickets for Bullets are in the first row. The stage is very high, so you have to look up. Plus, you will not see anyone's feet. But other than that the view is fine! It's exciting to sit so close. You really can reach out and touch someone if you're not averse to being arrested.

I did rush for Beautiful quite a long time ago, so my experience may not be relevant. But we were given seats in the rear side orchestra, and the view is fine. The orchestra is nicely raked, I think that's the word, so you can easily see over the head of the person in front of you.

I rushed for Bridges of Madison County in March and it seems that the rush seats were mostly extreme side orchestra ones. I got two seats in row D, third and second last seat to the left. I thought the view was fine, did not feel like I missed anything important. There were times that I could not see some facial expressions because they were facing the other way, but that would happen even if I were a bit closer to the middle.

Cannot say as to Bullets over Broadway or Beautiful though. Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder rush seats are also located on the extreme sides of Orchestra. I got first row on the side, and thought they were good seats. Missed a little bit of action when the cast moves further back into the stage, but did not take away from the show in my opinion.

Best of luck!

I've rushed for Bullets and Bridges and I was given great seats. I was seated in the fourth or fifth row of the orchestra on the left isle seat for both shows. Both tickets were stamped "Partial View" but I didn't miss anything... they definitely were not obstructed in any way.

I did rush for bridges and bullets. Arrived at the box office around ten and got great seats. Bridges were row o orchestra center block aisle seats and bullets were second row of the side block the last two seats, stage is high but we didn't miss anything, when I sat up real straight I could even see the floor.
