Best way to ensure we see Raul?

My son and I went to see "Company" a few weeks ago, and managed to hit it on the one weekend (apparently) that Raul Esparza was out. We saw Bradley Dean, who was very good, but we'd still like to catch Raul's performance. I'm just wondering what the best plan of action would be. Should we go in and check the lobby first to make sure he's not out? How early do they put up the "At This Performance" info. on the board? Can we call the box office, and how early would they know if he were going to be out?
Also, we'd rather not pay full price since we've already seen it once; does anyone know if "Company" is ever on TKTS? We were thinking of trying for tomorrow night; is that crazy?
Thanks!

Company is usually on TKTS

Last time I asked they put up the "At This Performance" board an hour before the show, sometimes half an hour before. So there's really no way to tell.

Company is usually on TKTS.

The board must be up when the house opens. So that is 30 minutes prior to curtain. A lot of times theatres put it up early. I would go with the sudent rush, or TKTS.

---

As far as I know, the sign must be up one hour before curtain. At least, that's the rule we follow.

The board MUST be up 30 minutes prior to curtain. Most theatres put it up and hour or more earlier, just so that its up when people start getting arriving, and your not surprising the audience.

Thanks,
My son is 14; would a high school ID qualify?
I don't know if I'd want to sit in the very first row, but he might like it. I could get student rush for him and a seat for me somewhere else. Or, we might try TKTS.
I know Raul's attendance record has been fantastic, that's why we were so surprised when he was out. Judging by the reactions of many in the lobby, it wasn't a scheduled absence. But we'll hope that history won't repeat itself!

---

I'm pretty sure that as a general rule, any school ID counts. So it's fine that he's in high school.

The weekend he missed wasn't scheduled in advance, but the box office did know on Friday that he'd be out for the next couple of days.

I did student rush last Sunday, was the first in line, and got box seats (front two seats in the left box). The person behind me got a front seat in the right box. I glanced down at the front row during intermission and I didn't recognize anyone who had been in line behind me for rush earlier that morning. So I think maybe the front row seats are sold as student rush only on weekdays. I'd love to see the show again from the front row, though.

---

Both times when I did rush it was on a Sunday and I got front row. (The same seat even.) The last time I went was Jan 28, maybe it's changed since then.

---

IIRC, Raul unexpectedly missed a Weds matinee a couple of weeks ago, although he was in for the evening performance.

---

I haven't heard an exact time period, but I do know it won't be for quite a while.
