So, are they still tossing out the tickets whenver they feel like it, or are they sticking to the 3 hours before? I'm thinking of going to the matinee tomorrow.
i'm planning on getting there around 4 tomorrow...i'm going to hope that's enough time to get front row.

in case you wanted to know: a line formed for rush today, and 20 people were in line by 4:30 pm.
I think 4 is a safe time - hopefully!!
Sorry misschung, I'm not going till Sunday. I'm gonna go when the box office opens (12), but I'll definetely let you guys know how everything went.
I have to take care of some things around that area so I'll probably end up getting there at like 3:30ish.
I want to see the show on Thursday, but I'm busy between 2:30 and 6. 6 is too late, so maybe if I go at like 2:15 and beg, they'll give me tickets. Heh, wishful.

I understand that they want as many people as possible to see the show, but throwing the tickets away isnt the best tactic, because a lot of ppl are getting frustrated.
They might give them out at 2:15 - can you call and ask?
I feel like they wouldn't know in advance if they'd feel like selling them before that three-hour mark. I'll have to go and try... or give them my best puppy-dog eyes. Either that or I can whip out the "Come on, I've seen your show ___ times!!" card.
my impression was that it often depends on WHO is working there, not how many tickets were sold... but I may be wrong.

this usually works! also you get a smile and a softer attitude.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the box office people actually knew my face by now.

So you'll tell them how many times you've seen it, but not us? haha
Not the whole internet community.

I wonder if they take bribes.

So, to bump this.
Saying I want to student rush the Wednesday matinee, what time should I get there? Failing that, what time should I get there to student rush for the Wednesday evening show? I really really want to see this.

Do they do rush for Wednesday matinees? And if I get there at 3:30, when will I like, you know, physically get a ticket? And can I buy two, is that right?
Pardon my ignorance/details, I'm just trying to plan the rest of my vacation around this, something I've never done really before.
They have rush for all performances. 3:30 is fine for an evening show; they have about forty-five tickets allotted for rush. And yes, you can buy two.

One last annoying question, then I'll keep my anxieties to myself. What would be a good time to try for a matinee rush, like 10 AM then or something?
What day? Depends whether it's a Sunday or two-show day.

Wednesday, a two show day. Also, where's the stagedoor?
NOW I'll stop bugging everyone.
Well, for a 2 p.m. show, they'll sell the tickets at 11. So yeah, I'd get there at 9:30-10 at the latest. Eek.
When you exit the theater through the main doors (the way you came in), make a left, and you'll see a giant door with a Legally Blonde poster on it. It leads to the stage door, so you can wait right outside there to meet the cast.
I rushed it today. I got there at 10:30, and there were about 6 people in front of me. By the time the box office opened at noon, there were easily about 30 people in line. I got my front row seats, but I saw some people get stuck in the boxes. The rush is becoming popular now that it's closing.
P.S. Raul was AMAZING. We gave him a standing ovation after Being Alive.

That was a redonk amount of people this morning. By 11:30 there were at least 20-25 on line. And I thought I took the early train!

Vfd- the people weren't "Stuck" in the boxes. That's always been where rush is after the front row fills, and they're quite nice seats.
Interesting that you got there at 10:30, I was wondering what time the people in the front had gotten there- now I know it was before that.
Anyone have any box office updates about rush on the last day?
