Hey. Does anyone know where the Student Rush seats are for Chicago. All I know is that they have them. Thanks in advance!

It's a general rush, not a student rush (unless they decided to be bastards and change it AGAIN) and the seats are located on the sides of the orchestra. They sell them as partial view seats, but if you're close up, you don't miss anything. The further back you are in the orchestra, the more action you'll miss on the side of the stage you're sitting on.

...Did Chicago Rush recently -- my seats were in the third row of the mezzanine all the way to the side -- which is the seating equivelant to hell. You couldn't see most of Stage Right except for extreme downstage...It was, however, worth the $26, and after a while you forgot about it (except when entire scenes were lost that were staged on the SR stairs...)

Haha. I'm rather busty myself and I find myself in that pose often. High school boys...wandering eyes...and hands...

Yeah... they sell the mezz after all the orchestra rush seats are gone.

My advice to you is to get there early so you're one of the first few people in line and you get rush seats in the orchestra.... It's not worth it to sit in the mess rush seats.

I miss the good old days of Chicago at the Shubert with front row rush..... those were the days. Made some of my best friends on that rush line/at that theatre..... but I digress

Razz, that's awful! I'm getting these as a gift for my best friend's birthday. Ahhh! He got me Brooklyn seats, which were fabulous, I mean front row! This is the only show he wants to see, so I hope they aren't too bad.

Fun story for you... had a meeting Saturday for work and met up with some friends for dinner afterwards. The guy sitting at the table across from us had his eyes down my suit top the entire time we were there.

My friend said the 'skeevy old man eye-raped me' hahaha

The way we figured it, if he was going to stare like that, he could have at least tipped me

How has the line been nowadays? I probably won't be in the city till 10 tomorrow...and I want to try. I'm desperately trying to find as much info as possible so I know which theaters to go to first for rush.
