Calling a theatre to ask about rush tickets

I know that there are some off Broadway theatres that release their phone numbers to the public. And, I have called them before to inquire about rush tickets (for example calling Barrow Street Theatre to ask about rush tickets for Tribes a while back.) Now, I know that the Nederlander houses do release their phone numbers to the theatre box offices. Would it be an un-kosher move for me to call The Brooks Atkinson to inquire and see if they have any rush tickets left for this evening?

I don't see any problem with it at all.

What's the worst they will say, that they can't/won't release the info over the phone? So what?

Actually, as per the other thread about rush tickets for Hands on a Hardbody, the worst was that apparently, the box office told Winston there weren't rush tickets, and a couple of hours later, another poster here managed to buy rush tickets for tonight's performance after all! Not that there's any lesson here, probably just the confusion of a show in previews, as someone here already suggested....

Or a cranky box office person.
Or, more simply, that more tix were released for rush.
