Best Show to Rush for Saturday Night

We'd like to go to a show this Saturday night (12/3) and I was hoping for rush tickets.

I plan on doing the electronic lottery for a number of shows and hoping something comes through that we want to see.

Assuming nothing comes through, I was hoping for some guidance for which shows might have the best likelihood for getting tickets if I get in line around 8:00 AM.

I was thinking about Something Rotten or Kinky Boots but am open to suggestions.

Thanks for your help!!

Something Rotten and Kinky Boots both have digital lotteries that do their drawings the day before. Enter those and you will know on Friday if you won or not. It could save you from having to wait for a couple hours in the cold. I haven't rushed either of them, but I won the Something Rotten lottery on my first try. They are both really fun shows.

Thanks. I registered for both of those and I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I just saw that Kinky Boots does not have an onsite rush and I vaguely remember seeing somewhere that the onsite Something Rotten tickets are in the front row and not the greatest (stage is high). And Chicago does not have Saturday night rush tickets.

So if the electronic rushes fall through I not quite sure where I should line up.

The box office attendants at Chicago are very nice - they sold me a rush ticket when they apparently weren't allowed to (night of 20th anniversary).

I'd imagine Fiddler wouldn't be too difficult to rush!

I would recommend not rushing Something Rotten. I did it recently and the first row seats are very poor. The stage is so high that you won't be able to see the actor's faces for several parts. Other first row seats are tolerable, but if I had to do it again, I would have paid the extra money using the ticket code when you lose the lottery.

How about Jersey Boys? I rushed twice with no problem in the last month. When I went right at box office opening I got 2nd row side. A little uncomfortable but it's a low stage so you can still see everything the vast majority of the time. The next time I went a couple hours later and got a seat in back side orchestra, and I liked that much better. It is supposed to be a student rush but they didn't ask for my id either time, so it may be worth at least trying. If not, there are other options available:

Good luck!

Oh, Hello is such a funny show and also was very easy to rush when I did it on a Sunday.

Fiddler is also not very hard to rush either I don't believe.

Falsettos (and MANY other shows have lotteries as well) that are all done online via different websites, also check out TodayTix for what they're offering as far as rush and lottery. They often have good things going.

I sat front row center for Something Rotten and had a great view! But I'm 6'2

Thanks for everyone's help! I wanted to report back that after applying for every digital lottery I could find we did not get a one BUT we did we did get an offer for lower mez seats for Falsettos for Saturday night for $57 plus fees (all in around $130 for two) and was pretty happy with that (great seats and a great show - show must have been soldout) especially after taking a walk Saturday morning and seeing everyone lined up.

I did stop by the box for Fiddler a little after 10:00 on Saturday and there was no line and they had tickets available for both Saturday shows (that was going to be my fallback). Also, the first guy online for Oh, Hello said he got there at 8:30.

Thanks again!!
