Little Shop of Horrors Rush

There has been no official announcement on rush as of yet, but people has asked the box office and have confirmed there will be at some point. There was also a rush-like sale a few weeks ago, but that was only for previews, so I think by the end of previews an official rush policy should be announced (as they have no sold any of the front row as of yet, besides that preview sale).

I'm not sure the box office would confirm the rush if it was a lottery (unless they were referring to the preview sale as rush, which seems unlikely). I agree a digital lottery wouldn't be great, the front row is probably going to be rush so if they had a lottery also I'm not sure what seats those would be.

Wow. Yeah I do take this personally. "

Before I posted this question, I looked for the answer and didn’t find a thread about LSH and their RUSH policy. This forum is my go to for RUSH threads.

I just left the box office, and the agent says that there will be some sort of last-minute tickets. They were told that it will be $29, 2 hours before the show. She does not know if it’s going to be rush or lottery quite yet. Exciting news!

At least it's not a digital lottery if it is one

I don’t think I’m familiar with the theater but every in-person lottery I’ve been to is more disruptive than general rush where people line up orderly. I am not a fan of lottery and prefer General Rush. With General Rush you have to put in the effort to make sure you get there early enough to get in line. Lottery is luck of the draw and barely any effort at all. Lottery has people scattered all out front waiting for the call to be made. I understand it’s all personal preference.

I think it will be mobbed. This show is popular. That’s one of the reasons why I hate lotteries. You travel so far and you may not get a ticket.

More importantly, I'm not sure I ever considered Audrey II to be a woman.

"In the equal-opportunity spirit of Audrey II, who indiscriminately devours her prey, we decided to opt for a lottery rather than a rush, so the late-risers of Skid Row have just as much of a shot at seats," said producers Tom Kirdahy, Robert Ahrens, and Hunter Arnold in a joint statement. "And so that as many people as possible can behold Audrey II in all her glory, we're now limiting ticket purchases to four per person."

Just because no seats are available for purchase doesn't mean all seats are accounted for. Plenty are held back for a variety of reasons -- house seats, etc. -- and I'd imagine they held some back for this lottery.

I wish this show much success and I’m glad to see that the Producers are offering $29 tickets to all performances but, as I live on the same street as where the Westside is, I’m dreading the crowds this production will undoubtably attract for every performance. Can’t think how they plan to order the crowds that will be spilling out into the street, etc.

Lotto over. I did not enter, got there at 6:32. Seemed to be a moderately sizable crowd. Not enormous, but winnable. Happened right outside on the steps.
