Anyone done/tried this since the reviews broke? Want to attempt it this weekend, and wondering what it's been like...
Yes, I'm planning on this weekend too. Anyone?

I went last Saturday for the matinee and got there around 9 and there were 6 people ahead of me, and by the time the box office opened, there were about about 20 people in line total.

My friend rushed this morning. Got there at 11:05am and got Orch A 5-7.
Abby, I was one of those people in line behind you last Saturday. I got there at 9:30. Got tickets to the evening performance easily.
I guess I'll plan on being there around 9 then. Thank goodness for two-show days.

do people start lining up early on sundays? i'm rushing tomorrow and i'm not sure how early i should leave my house.
also how is the view from the rush seats?(most people have been getting the first few rows on the side) any help is much appreciated :]
I sat in the front row right side the first seat off the aisle and it was fine. The people 3 and 4 seats in moved though because they couldn't see.
And I think getting there an hour before box office opens (11 tomorrow) is fine.
thank ya darlin :]

I sat in the 4th seat in on the left side front row and I think the seat is totally fine. There was only maybe a few seconds where I couldn't see something. It's not the most ideal view since the show uses the whole stage and is usually on either the far left or far right, but you can still see pretty much everything.
People are lining up now? The last time I did rush for this show I just went to the box office around 11:30 and got seats in the second row. Is the rush getting more popular now?
i wasn't really implying that people were def. lining up. i just figured there would be a line. but if it's as simple as you say it is adamgreer i wouldn't mind that at all! when was the last time you rushed LMAT?
It was in like the 2nd week of previews. I was wondering if the mostly positive reviews have increased its popularity.
i'm hoping not but i'm thinking so. i'll report back tomorrow after i get the tix.

I rushed on Thursday and was able to get the front row tickets on the left side (last two seats on the left). the seats are fine except my wife was getting fearful of having the actors saliva on her. We moved during intermission to better seats. For $26.00 it's a great deal.
I was fourth in line this morning and got the first pair for the evening show. They were located in the rear mezzanine, second to last row. I thought the view was perfect from up there. Full view and it's a small theatre so it still seemed very close.
By the way, I don't think I've ever laughed harder at any show. I don't know what show Charles Isherwood was watching.

My friend got to the line this morning around 11:45 and said that the people in front of her got the last rush seats available. Guess the show is selling very well.
Yes, it looked like a sold out house, at least the mezzanine was fully sold. The audience was absolutely roaring with laughter.

HeyMrMusic were you the guy in the blue jacket? i was third in line in front of you(mets hat). glad you enjoyed the show.
i got there a little after 10:30 (BO opened at 12)and there were 2 people in line, and the only reason they had been there was because they thought the box office opened at 10. i got mezz K 22+24. i heard they stopped selling the rush tickets but that's weird considering that aside from 4 people my row and the row behind mine were empty so i moved closer to the aisle. still great seats for $26. loved every minute of the show btw.
Sorry for the confusion, gerb, I was there yesterday. :)

Hey Mr Music....sounds like you were right behind me...seats were great. what a wonderful show!!!
Has rush still been selling out when the BO opens? Was thinking of trying during the week next week. Thanks.
Bump. Anyone do this recently? Any clue what time I should get there on Wednesday? Thanks!
A friend and I did it on a weekday last week, we were first in line till about 9:45ish. Half hour before BO opens is prob fine.
