Hope you guys don't mind my asking some advice.
I'm headed to New York for the first time in October and I really want to see Rock of Ages! Is it safe to wait and get tickets upon arrival or should I get them ahead of time?
Thanks!
I would get them asap. they are operating around 98% capacity each night and the last tickets sold are partial view... you want good seats for this one :)
I did the lotto for yesterdays matinee(32 seats available)...there was 3 of us, one of us won so they got 2 seats then the other one did rush seats and I have to say the one who did the rush seats got a better seat (he got to sit next to the sound board so he basically was center)
And it wasn't student rush, it was just rush...also in the lotto the person who is pulled first got to sit in the front row on the left side (it was 2 senior citizens ladies yesterday)

I bought tickets for this for the end of October. What are the chances that Constantine will extend and still be in the show then?
I believe the cast is contracted until Spring 2010 (except for Wesley Taylor) so he should be there when you go. I'm sure others would be able to give more input on this.
Speaking of Constantine, he is currently taking questions on Broadway.com's Ask a Star.
Ask a Star - Constantine Maroulis
I think I'm going to see it again before September, because my good friend just got the cast recording and really wants to see the show!

the cast is contracted through the fall.
Dredging thread up from the depths.
I get to come to the city to see ROA this weekend. Am also taking in the Toxic Avenger and maybe N2N or Hair.
Im glad you brought this thread up!
How easy/hard will it be to get tickets for this sunday evening through student rush? Also what is it normally like on a monday?

See Hair or N2n before Toxic
Toxic is really bad
Well, N2N would be my next choice. I've heard so many good things about it on this board.
Hair is Hair and I know the music and don't know if I'd want to sit through the show.
Okay, so Constantine has signed through next year.
Wesley's last day is Sept 13th
Tad Wilson is leaving, too.
Now I just read Paul Schoeffler is leaving, too.
Paul going to Philly
Aw I love Paul! He will be missed! Tad too!
So according to Constantine's twitter Adam and Mitch are both out tonight.

According to his facebook fanpage, he is going to be at Matt Doyle's show at Joe's Pub.
Toxic's a lot of fun, Blue!
I'll miss Wesley on Monday night, then. Who is going on for him?
According to Jeremy Jordan's facebook page, he'll be on for Wesley on Monday.
Someone at ROA tonight sent this tweet from the theatre:
"broadwaypants: Theres about fifteen thousand people at rock of ages lotto. Im nervous."
I guess it'll be a full house again tonight! Yay!
I overhead one of the cast members mention to a family member that "the show is changing, lot of new people are coming in".

How has lotto been? I'm thinking of trying for Friday night
I know some people there tonight- Wish I could have made it too.
Should be interesting.
Great show tonight!
Understudies for Drew, Dennis, Franz, Joey and Strip Club DJ according to my slip. Sure there was another girl on aswell though that they announced before the beginning.
