I have rushed Follies several times and have never ended up in the rear mezzanine. I was in the third row of the mezzanine about a month ago, but since then I have been in the orchestra every time.
Follies rush tickets have been WONDERFUL! I've rushed twice:
1. Saturday after Thanksgiving - so a very busy weekend - Center Orchestra Row U 2. Wednesday matinee this week - so relatively quiet - Center Orchestra Row N
So while maybe in the past they were not so great in the mezzanine, for $37 to be the seats I've gotten, I feel extremely lucky!
I saw FOLLIES twice and loved love LOVED it ... Now I can go back for a third time. We met the cast at Barnes and Noble to get CDs signed. They were all incredibly nice and personable. If anyone hasn't seen this show - I recommend seeing it before it closes.
