I rushed Chicago today. Started at Anastasia but was obvious I would not get any rush seats, so bounced and went to Chicago. 8:35am arrival and I was the first in line. At 8:45 a lady came out to say it would be standing room only today. She let us into the box office area at about 8:55 which was really nice of her as it was bitterly cold (roughly 7 degrees f with the wind chill). By then there were 3 of us in line, and many more followed shortly after.
The gentleman at the box office also opened early for us at 9:30 which was appreciated. He asked me what I was looking for and I said "whatever they had for rush". He laughed at me and said no rush this week. I said the lady had told us there was standing room. He said "Oh yes", $27 each. I happily snapped up tickets seats for $54.
Just before the end of the 1st half an user came over and asked how many in my group. He moved 4 of us into un-used orchestra right seats for the second half. Awesome!
Really glad I was able to get this during arguably the busiest week of the year. Todrick Hall was out which was a shame as I believe the show would have been a lot stronger with his presence.
