How is the LA CAGE rush lately?

I'm trying to rush this Saturday's matinee with a friend and I'm curious as to how early we should get there to be safe. Has anyone gone lately? Is it nuts?

Easy as pie! I got there at 2pm for an 8pm show and still got it.

I got on line this morning a little before 9. I was fourth in line. I asked if the box seats were obstructed view, and the box office guy obviously lied to me when he flat out said, "No." Lots of craning of my head and missed entrances and exits from the back/side.

The rear balcony is better than the rush seats, and they cost the same price.

I haven't sat in the balcony for LA CAGE, but I sat there every time I saw BOEING BOEING and it was a fantastic view. I didn't have a big issue with the box seats for LA CAGE, but you do miss some side entrances. It also depends on how far forward in the box you're sitting. The people in front of me seemed miserable from having to lean.

I sat in the boxes and I suggest not doing it. I was on the inside seat (against the wall, not the edge of the box) and missed so much. Because I was on the left side, I missed almost the entire show because much of the show takes place in stationary positions on stage right. House right would probably be better. During act two, the people in the row behind me left, so I switched to the edge seat, and while it was better, it was still terribly obstructed.

I'd definitely go for the balcony, if I saw the show again.

I concur with everyone about the balcony there. I sat there twice for Boeing-Boeing (once in the front, once in the rear) and thought the view was fabulous. Probably the best balcony in terms if sightlines and not feeling distant on Broadway.

For La Cage I was in the rear mezzanine (H106, I think)- given the nature of the set for this show, there were no issues with an overhang. However, a show with a larger set would present huge issues.

Yeah it can.
