Interesting... it's a mix of Spring Awakening's online rush (winners notified via text), a lottery and a student rush... I like it.

And it's SAFER! When I rushed LEGALLY BLONDE I had a run-in with a drunk that wasn't too pleasant. And when I rushed JERSEY BOYS I got there at 5am and witnessed a lot of mischeif, too.

5 a.m.?!?!?! Is that ever necessary? The earliest I ever got there was 8 and I was first in line. All the other times, I'm usually first anyways.

Yay! I was just thinking how I can never afford to see this again! Now I can. : )

5am was definitely necessary. This was a few months after it won the Tony. I was third in line at 5am. By 6:30am there was more people than rush allotment.

What's the cast of Jersey Boys like these days?

now the problem will be people forwarding past winning messages around

I'm sure it will have a sequence of numbers on it to prevent that.

Can see this being abused. "Mom, Dad, Can i borrow ur phones and take it with me to the box office if I win".

Yep.

Awesome, because Andrew Rannells is playing Bob Gaudio.

Go!

I'm gonna try over my spring break (since it's only for week nights) I hope it won't be impossible to win.

I entered for tonight....didn't win. I thought it wouldn't be that known to a lot of people so there would be a good chance...guess not.

and theres no info out about how many names are called or seat locations?

"I entered for tonight....didn't win. I thought it wouldn't be that known to a lot of people so there would be a good chance...guess not."

I imagine lots of people enter because all they have to do is send a text message. If they don't win, oh well, you didn't waste any time. If you do win you just pick up your tickets and see the show. It's takes no effort or time out of your daily life if you don't win. So I imagine most people will enter any night.
