Color Purple Rush Lately

I searched and only found threads about the color purple rush during tourist season in December. I was just wondering what time should I get to the box office for rush now during Broadway's slow season. I was planning to go tomorrow Tues 2/27. Thanks for any help offered!!

People are still showing up as early as 7:00am. I showed up at 8:30am last week and there were ten to fifteen people ahead of me and a few dozen people showed up after I did. It was a two-show Saturday, so that might have had something to do with it, but I'm sure a lot of people show up on any given day. Get there early.

Um....I would tell you the opposite....my friend went and rushed last week Thursday and got there at 9:00AM and she was first in line.

She was so cold she went to Duane Reade and came back out at 9:30AM and was fifth in line.

Plenty of tickets, I would tell you to get there late because it's absolutely freezing out there!!

I'm planning on rushing with friends on Sunday. I know the box office doesn't open til noon. Is that when the tickets go one sale too? I was planning on getting there between 9:30-10. Is that too early? I know we'll all freeze but hey, you do what you have to do.

I got there around 10:30 on Saturday, and had no problems.

From the commercials I've seen.....many people might think Fantascia is already in it. They didn't say a starting date in the commercial. So if she is doing anything to help with ticket sales...you might want to consider getting there somewhat early.
