Last minute Broadway craziness

Hello! I'm someone who has been browsing these forums for a couple of months now getting ready for my Broadway trip to celebrate my graduation. However, my dad insisted he had all the research down for this trip, and I, against my better judgment, let him take the reigns. We are now in NYC and my father was counting on using TKTs for all the shows we were planning on seeing, but both Three Tall Women and Come from Away aren't offered at that level. I had a couple direct questions for everyone here about them. Hopefully you can help me out because we are really confused with a lot of conflicting information out there.



1. If we are to do rush for Three Tall Women and Come from Away, when should we arrive for them? We're talking Friday, 5/18 for an evening show and a matinee on Saturday, 5/19.

2. Does Three Tall Women actually have a rush line? I've seen posts on this forum saying they've stopped doing that but also people who have said they have got tickets from doing rush.

3. Is rush on Saturday even a thing? Again, getting a lot of conflicting information here, and this is both our first times in NYC period.

4. If we cannot do Three Tall Women at all, what is a recommendation for a play to see? We likely will not have time to do Iceman Cometh or either of the two-part plays for obvious reasons.



Thank you all so much, if anyone can reply to this, I will appreciate it so much. I've been wanting to go to Broadway for the past eight years, and although I'm interested in a lot of shows playing now, these two were definitely at the top of my list. Many thanks!

According to BrodwayForBrokePeople.com, both shows do a rush, and Come From Away offers standing room as well (usually only if it is sold out). I really can’t gauge how early to get there, but if it were me, I would maybe try around 6am to be safe.

You can use this code for Three Tall Women: 3TBBX915

I like taking the code right to the box office because they usually give you some sort of selection, and you save the service charge.

Hope this helps!

It sounds like there is no longer a rush for Three Tall Women. There is still a rush for Come From Away if you get there early enough. Between 7 and 8 a.m. would give you a good shot at either seats or standing room which most people think provides a great view. Alternate shows with doable rushes and which are almost always on TKTS include A Band's Visit, Once On This Island and Waitress. If you want to see a play, try The Play That Goes Wrong. You'll laugh your butt off.

Blankments, it sounds like you’re having a wonderful first-time Broadway experience. Just go with it. I’m sure you’ll be back many, many times.

Final update if anyone wants to know how this turned out: we saw Come from Away today from SRO which was really fantastic. Like I'm still blown away by how incredible the production was. We already have orchestra seat tickets tomorrow for Iceman Cometh and I'm really excited for that too. This has been a great trip.
