What has the rush been like lately? What time has been about the cutoff for tickets?

What are the rush lines like for evening performances? And what would be the optimal time to arrive at the theatre to secure tickets?

I rushed this morning. I got there a few minutes after 6:30 and there were already six or seven people ahead of me. There were probably 20-25 people in line by 8:15, and at least 45-50 people (if not more) by the time the box office opened. Once you get inside the lobby, there's two box-office windows open -- one for the matinee and one for the evening. I was the fourth person in line for the evening and got two tickets in row C of the orchestra for tonight's show. I'm not sure how many tickets they sell for each show, but it's definitely worth getting there as early as you can!

As of at least a month ago they were still selling SRO, including matinee performances.

Does anyone know how partial view the far sides of the orchestra are that they sell for rush?

How has the rush been lately? Are the seats still in the orchestra on the side? Anyone go recently on a Saturday for the matinee?

Mr. Musical -

I had probably the most "Partial view" seat in the house, not counting the boxes, being place in the end seat on the front row, extreme stage right. You do miss some stuff from that angle, especially action taking place in the rear of the "false stage" playing area and and are often looking at the actor's backs when they go out onto the promenade around the orchestra pit. "Poison in my Pocket" was probably where I missed the most, though most of the murder scenes were at least slightly obscured.

On the other hand, you do get to peep into the wings, which is kind of facinating. Watching Monty and Sibella play an intimate love scene three feet away from a burly stagehand ready to had someone a prop appeals to the techie in me, and you'd occasionally see actors waiting for their cues out of character.

I saw this a while ago, but rushed it. Had the 3rd and fourth seats from the side aisle, i think in the sixth row. It was a pretty great view. THe scene where I "missed" something was where the ensemble pops out of portraits on the back wall of the false stage. I missed a few of them on the far corner. Every once in a while something dipped out of view, but Id do it again in a heartbeat. Being close up for this show is the way to go. Youre going to want to see the priceless expressions on the actors faces.

Has anyone rushed Gentleman's Guide lately? I'm thinking of taking a friend tomorrow and wanted to get a recent gauge on how crowded the rush has been. The Rush Report makes it sound like it has quieted down!

 I rushed today as I wanted to see Kevin Massey as Monty (Greg Jackson was on for the D'Ysquith Family). I got there around 10:15am and got left box, row B, seat 3 for the matinee. It wasn't a bad view, missed a few things on stage right but it was fine as I saw the show before.

BTW, Kevin and Greg (despite some costume issues) were fantastic.

Thanks for the reply, sorano916!

I got to the box office today at 11:15 for the box office to open at 12:00 and was 3rd in line. We got Seats 10 and 12 in Row C of the Orchestra, which is the first row. Excellent view, except it is on the extreme side, so you miss a bit of the projections on the miniature stage. Coincidentally, I was in the same seat as I was when I saw this back in November 2013 just after it opened. I saw Jefferson Mays' understudy and I saw the understudy of Monty's replacement; both were very good, and are emulating the original performances in every possible way.

Has anyone rushed lately? How late do you think is safe to get there to get tickets to the Saturday night show?

I'm also curious about recent rush experiences as I've been waiting for Bryce Pinkham's return to see the show. There are some discounted partial view balcony seats but I'd rather wait an hour or two for rush if I can avoid getting a partial view seat.
