I sat in E16 on the far right. I only missed the end of the staircase. I didn't miss any dialogue or scenes.

Rushed it this morning (Saturday). Arrived at 8:20 and there were 15 people ahead of me. Got row D 13. A couple about six people ahead of me got row B. I didn't stay to see if everyone behind me got tix (the line had grown to about 45 people by 10:00), but I know they continued selling after I left.

Where have the rush seats been most recently? I can secure two row P seats, but I am willing to wait if the rush possibilities look good.

Thanks.

rush seats are the obstructed view orchestra seats on the sides

I rushed the March 2nd Sunday matinee and received Row D Seat 15 in the orchestra. The ticket was stamped "Obstructed View" but I did not miss anything. I got to the box office at 12:45.

Bump

Anyone rush today -- thinking about going tomorrow. I wonder if interest is picking up during the last few weeks.

I went last week and the rush seats were smack dab front row center. Stage wasn't high at all. Frankly, I was astonished. Some of the best seats I've ever had for a Broadway show and they were only $37.

Vesp -- what time did you arrive?

Yes, would also love to know what time to arrive for front row.

I can imagine its more crowded now that an end is in sight but I rushed a couple weeks ago and arrived at 9 on a two show day. Got front row slightly off center and it was incredible. It feels as if the actors are performing just to you. In fact at intermission I turned around to go out to the lobby and was almost shocked to see an entire audience behind me. The seats are perfect! Had front row for If/Then (lottery win) and the seats were also in front row, to the side, and were terrible. The stage is so high, it was really hard to get into the show. In my opinion, those seats shouldn't even be sold. Knees hit the stage (and im short) and the angle you had to look up, well, lets just say I have my first theatre injury, neck was really wrenched for a good 3 days. On the plus side, they have nice cushions for the seats and they do help (found them at intermission).

Keep in mind this was before closing was announced, but I got there literally at 10 AM. There was one other person in front of me.

Everyone should get a rush seat somewhere good. The house was less than half full when we went.

I went up at 8:30 last Wednesday and was first in line. There were maybe 10 people by the time the BO opened. (bear in mind that was a rainy day and a 2 show day).

If you're not there by 7:55pm, you might not get a rush ticket.

Bdway, did you likewise score a first row? In other words, does the box office sell first row first, then extreme sides of the orch? Or the opposite? Thanks.

Front Row isle seat. Best rush seats EVER.

Posted: 5/5/14 at 12:35pm

Thanks for the info.

[brdway411]

Generally, do shows offer rush tickets for closing day performances? I saw this show back in March and absolutely fell in love with it! I would love to go see it again, but cannot make it until 5/18, which is the closing performance. I am considering lining up for rush on that day, but am thinking that they probably won't offer rush that day. Does anyone know if shows offer rush on closing day? And if they do, what would be a safe time? It's a Sunday, so I wonder if 10:30 AM would do it... Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if they will or will not. Last year when Hands on a Hardbody closed they did offer Rush tickets for the closing.

In the closing thread, someone did say they bought a front row premium seat when the closing was just announced...

How has it been looking lately? Is anyone planning on going today? I have work this morning and wouldn't make it to the box office until 11:15 Probably no chance of getting a ticket then, right?

I'd give it a try, I'm pretty sure you can still get a ticket, worst case you have to swing by again later.
From their website: Additional rush tickets may be made available daily starting 2.5 hours before the performance.

I rushed it yesterday afternoon and was rewarded with front row center. The stage is not too high, so you can even see O'Hara's bare feet. What a soaring, luscious score this is, and so beautifully sung by O'Hara and Steven Pasquale. I hope the latter gets another big musical soon.

What time did you arrive for front row?

Was at the box office on Tuesday night to buy tickets for the closing performance. I asked about rush for the closing performance, and the guy helping me said it's unlikely. They may not even have it for the whole last week of performances. it's all pending sales, and frankly at this point, they should really keep it.
