Les Miserables Rush Tickets 3/19

I was thinking of trying to get rush tickets for the matinee performance of Les Miserables. What time should I be there and should I even try to get tickets? Do you think there will be less of a crowd because Ramin is not there?

What I'm thinking at the moment is getting there at 7am.

That's crazy! Do you know about how many tickets they ended up selling for rush?

However, that's incorrect as this week they switched to their regular schedule and have a performance tomorrow afternoon at 2pm. Aaron Walpole will be going on as Valjean, as the OP said.

Sorry about that. Broadwayforbrokepeople has the wrong info then. I will email them.

BTW it is already nuts with confusion over the Pippin rush line and the Les Mis rush lines running into one another. So if you go later to the the line, make sure you are in the Les Mis line and not the Pippin line. Last Wednesday people were all messed up and confused. I was first and people kept coming up to me and thinking I was the end of the Pippin line. If you want to make sure you get tickets get there by 6 am, which is when most of the people showed up. If you are not one of the first 20 people in line since each person can buy 2 tickets, you probably will not get in and be flexible on 2 show days.

For what it's worth I have seen both Ramin and Walpole and I think they are both incredible in the role of JVJ. However, I was completely blown away by Walpole. Do not miss him. Totally worth it. I wish I was not already committed to rushing another show today or I would be there to see Walpole again.

Rush tickets are set aside by the Box Office. They are day of tickets usually front row or obstructed view available when the box office opens and they are CHEAP.

TKTS tickets are a certain percentage off, usually 50%.

Check out Broadwayforbrokepeople.com for the list of show that offer rush or lottery tickets.

I just walked by the Les Mis rush line. About 30 plus people already.

Yes, cash or credit

Thank you for posting this. You are my go to site for performance info.

Unfortunately I'm too old to wait on line for rush tickets but I applaud those who do!

What shows currently have what can be considered shorter rush lines?

Are these rush ticket the aisle seats on the extreme sides? Also, are they only subject to availability? I wanted to try for Saturday, but there are no seats available for sale for the matinee and only a single seat for the evening.

I was rushing bullets and walked by the Imperial and it was CRAZY. like 50 something people there as of like 9:00am. Stupid.
