Has anyone tried the rush? how early should one plan on getting in line?

I was there for the first preview. The rush was gone by late afternoon and they said they wouldn't start selling standing room until 7pm. I got a standing room ticket a little after 7 without any problem.

Do you know if the rush sold all in the morning or if it was still selling into the afternoon when it sold out?

I was there yesterday morning at 8:30 and was fourth in line. By the time the box office opened there were maybe 12 people in line(I hadn't had coffee yet so I wasn't totally awake enough to give you a definite number). The seats were in the back row of the mezz. Not bad seats at all!

I got there at 8:40 am on Sat (there was only the evening show) and was 7th in line. A lot of people came soon after but a bunch also left when it got too cold and windy, so by the time the box office opened, I think there were about 15 people in line (even tho more had come and lined up briefly). I think everyone got seats (I was told the day before first preview that they prob had about 30 rush seats so I'm guessing they all sold out then).

I noticed a cancellation line when I went into the theatre and standing room people so it's selling well.

Got to the box office at 7am today with a friend, oy. Next person didn't show up until around 845, by 10am there were probably 10-15 people total. I don't know how many tickets they sold total but we got 4 all together for the center rear mezz.

Haha. 7am on a Wed. That's a bit of overkill.

I would have done the same thing. Its better to be there at 7:00 and know you're at the front of the line, then be there at 8:30 and a line ahead of you. When I rush in June, I will be there that early.

Advice .. Standing room or Rush. I would think standing room because the show is only 90 minutes..

That was your Breakfast with Bette! I've been thinking of Breakfast at Tiffany's with a crueller and coffee, but I ain't paying for no cab. Condragulations on the four seats together!

I got a rush ticket at 11:30 this morning...kinda suprised they had some that late.

Also scored a rush ticket for the matinee of "Kinky Boots," which I pretty much loved.

It was AFTER Bette, so about noon. I was really surprised. Thought maybe some evening rush tickets would be available but not matinee.
