How Far In Advance Should I Line Up For Rush Seats?

I'm looking into rushing two shows this weekend, my options:

Sister Act
Wonderland
Spider-Man
Catch Me If You Can
How to Succeed In Business Without Even Trying
Anything Goes

Which of the above could I show up after 10:00 and still get tickets for, and how long for the rest?

Based on posts here, it seems like Wonderland and Catch Me are the only shows you wouldn't need to queue up rather early for.

How to Succeed, Spiderman, and Sister Act rush tickets have all been accounted for before the box office opens.

For How to Succeed... I would say you should get there no later than 8 a.m. I arrived at 8:30 on a weekday right before opening and didn't get a ticket.

I rushed Wonderland, and Anything Goes twice last week. All three times me and my friends would line up a few minutes before 8am. I rushed the first preview of Wonderland, since I was first my friend and I was in the third row way to the side. The guy who was second in line, and got there just a few minutes after me ended up in the rear-orchestra. So, it's up to you if you think it's worth it to be first in line.

For Anything Goes, it was the same thing. My friends and I got there a few minutes before 8am, the next people usually wouldn't get there until around 8:30. But for this show, if the boxes are still open, get those! The view is amazing, and it's so much better than the rear-mezz.

And yes, it was worth standing in the cold and rain for both of these shows! :)

Although I haven't rushed any particular shows...(though I plan to in the future), I suggest lining up early for How To Succeed... since I saw a crowd of maybe 10 people already at 9AM

I rushed Spiderman today. Got there at 9am and got two tickets for the evening show. There were about 20 people ahead of me, and 15 behind by the time the box office opened. Row O, orchestra..

What's the current word on Sister Act rush? I am considering the Saturday matinee next weekend.

Anything Goes had 10 tickets today. 2 for evening, 8 for matinee.

Also, to throw another $0.02 in the ring, if these don't pan out, try out PRISCILLA and/or HIGH, both are magnificent shows.

HIGH rush is limited only to people 17-21, but the seats are $26.50 in the frint row.

PRISCILLA's lotto has often be crowded, but Sunday night is the most calm, definitely try it and get the balcony seats if you lose. It's truly win-win.
