Be advised: they DO check IDs, and they are strict on one per ID at the Colonial. Your seat will be selected from whatever's left--it will probably be in the front orchestra on the extreme side, as that's what I've gotten every time I've rushed a show in the Broadway-Across-America series.

Have a great time!

Actually, my friends got us advance student rush on Saturday and they allowed 2 per ID. Don't know if this will change since they updated the policy today- as of last week they were saying it was all advance rush.

Also, I've heard a lot of the rush seats have been in the mezzanine for this production. On Saturday we were given rear orchestra on the side, and they were great seats.

I stand corrected. I've never gotten advance student tickets.
Thanks. :)

I got a Student Rush ticket for the Opening Night performance of Hair here in Boston last week. My seat was 'Center Mezzanine Row B'. It was a PERFECT VIEW! The show is great and you are going to LOVE it!

Good luck getting the tickets and enjoy!

Wait...so you don't have to be a student for this rush??

I did rush seats when I saw this in Arizona. My city does advance student rush tickets for whatever is unsold the day of the show. It is such a great deal. I am actually not renewing my season tickets this year, because I have always gotten great seats for 50% off with the rush.

By "regular rush" they just mean one hour before rather than advance rush. It is still only for students.

Do the tribe members use the mezz. on tour like they did on Broadway? Can people not in the orchestra get on stage for the curtain call?

I am seeing it tomorrow from the mezz, so I will let you know! On Saturday night not a ton of people went onstage for the curtain call...people seemed like they didn't know what to make of it. Kacie Sheik looked so excited when my friends and I started heading down the aisle, she practically dragged us onstage.

Yes, the tribe member do come up to the mezzanine. They are up there a few times during the show actually. I got both a flower and a flier for the "be-in" on the mezzanine It is a great view for this show.

When I saw it, the two guys sitting next to me in the mezzanine went downstairs and went up on stage. So no, you don't have to be sitting in the orchestra to go up onto stage during the curtain call.
