I know for sure that one member has already left. Not sure if anyone else has.

It’ll probably be around March/April I believe for contracts. Ahmad left recently for rehearsals for West Side Story, but other than that there hasn’t been any announcements of the original cast departing.

Hey guys, long time tourist lurker on this thread. Thank you for revealing that stubhub is a great option for cheap seats! For yesterday’s Sunday matinee, I was in the area and bought two stubhub tickets at around 2:40pm! $35 each for mezz row E, $92 total including fees! Best part was the ticket was digital so I just bought it as I was walking to the Kerr and they scanned my phone with no problem. The show was phenomenal and I’m really grateful I got to see this with OBC! From what I remember, scalpers sell huge sections, including orchestra row S, mezz rows E and F, and balc rows A and B. Since fall is low season, I think there will be more opportunities like mine.

what has Amber Grey done to her arm? I’m assuming she’s out of the show.?!

Could anyone give me some tips on getting SRO for a Friday performance? What time should I get there to make my chances the best?

Can anyone describe/have a picture of what SRO looks like for Hadestown? Was it worth it? Did you miss any scenes because of the mezz overhang?

SRO is 100% worth it if you can rush it. I've done it multiple times with no regrets. Below is a pic from spot 13 or 14 (I forget which). The best part is that you can move to an empty seat at intermission (with the blessing from the head usher - he'll give you all the info just before the show). The only negative is that you'll bend down a few times to look up at Hades's balcony - not a big deal IMO, especially after you find a seat for Act II.
Pro Tip: a few minutes before the show starts, check what's still available on StubHub as you'll often see Orch center seats still up for grabs. I grabbed a spot in row N center with 3 or 4 seats empty next to me!

Has anyone rushed recently on a Tuesday? Is it worth it for me to go if I can only get there around 3:30? Thanks for any insight!

So, is it best to get there right when the box office opens or in the middle of the day closer to showtime? Trying to see this next - I'll be in town the whole week!

Hi! Me and a friend are thinking of rushing for SRO tickets tomorrow. It says on the website only 1 ticket per person. Does anyone know if it’s possible to buy 2 anyway, or if my friend can join at 12pm only for the purchase (indirectly me being in line for two people)?
Also - has anyone rushed matinee and know when’s a good time to get there?
Thanks!

Not sure on timing these days but they are definitely very strict about the one ticket per person rule. And they keep an eye on the line and who is there, so your friend wouldn’t be able to join you ahead of other people who have been waiting, they would have to get in the back of the line whenever they showed up, receiving a ticket based on availability in order of who has been waiting the longest. Good luck!

Yes, there is a strict 1-ticket per person policy. No, you cannot “hold” a place for your friend. Think of all the people behind you in line have been waiting for hours - how would you feel if someone did that to you. I’m sure more than one person would let you know that’s not allowed and/or speak with the line manager.

My friend just walked by the theatre (3:15) and says there is no one in the SRO line. Could that really be? Wow.

Why would you think that the official website would be wrong and/or that your friend would be allowed to cut the line???

I've never heard of a 1 ticket per person rule (most other shows have 2 tickets per person) so I was just asking to make sure. Keep a good tone, please.
I'll send updates after we've rushed. Thank you for all replies!

Rushed today (Friday 10/25) and I have to say...it's getting easier. I arrived way too early, but wanted to guarantee a spot.
1:15 - I arrived. #4 in line. The group of 3 in front of me had arrived minutes before.
3:30 - #5
4:00 - #6-8 in line
4:10 - #9
4:40 - #10-12
A few more joined by 5, but the line didn't even hit the end of the wall of the building.
At least 11 SRO tickets given out (I didn't get a good look at the end of the line to check before the show for any additional).
Also, the Red Bucket campaign has kicked off. They are selling signed playbills, posters and there is a raffle to spend a show with a stage manager :)

So we ended up rushing yesterday Saturday Oct 26 for the matinée and got amazing SRO tickets, although were seated in the Mezzanine for act II with the help of an usher (they knew from the ticket scanning what seats hadn't been filled and were glad to help us find seats).
This is the time breakdown for those interested:
8:15 am 2 people in line (#2)
8:20 2 people (us) (#4)
8:25 3 more people (although the friends of the first person came back 9:05) (#7)
9:00 2 more people (#9)
9:35 3 more people (separately) (#11, #12, #13)
9:40 3 more people (#14)
After that, we didn't keep track very well because people came and went. When the box office opened we were exactly 20 people in line, but the box office wouldn't say how many SRO tickets they had. I think everyone got a ticket though, but we ended up leaving once we got ours.
The sun was shining, but it still gets cold so remember to bring an extra sweater - and happy rushing!
