Has anyone rushed for 'Night Mother? What are the seats like?

Just a guess, but I've rushed two shows at the Royale and they were both in the rear mezz, and it was empty both times so the ushers let us move up to the front mezz. I have no idea if that'll be the case, but I think 'night Mother had kind of low-ish attendance last week, so it may be the same situation???

Do they have general rush or just student rush? If it's student rush does anyone know where I can just pick up a fake student ID in the city cuz I'm getting sick of this.

I'm pretty sure it's student rush, and they have SRO (though it doesn't look like that'll be an option). I'm loving the fact that my student ID doesn't have a date on it...I plan on milking that baby for all it's worth!

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Now it's the age of being cool to have a "fake STUDENT ID." I'm a transfer student so I have 2 IDs with NO EXPERATION DATE on them. Although many time they don't ask for it. Mayby they just saw my NYU shirt or my book bag. Try dressing like a student mayby.

i did student rush a few days ago...the shows not selling well, so youll most likely be okay to move up...the seats are rear mez but we moved up to the front row of the mez...26 dollars...student id needed (they actually check)...amazing show.

I rushed last night ... the show is fabu and I must dish about Ms. Brenda Blethyn ... she was amahzing!!!! I wanted to take her home with me.
Seats ... I got front row orchestra (AA) for $26.25. EXCELLENT seats ... the only think I couldn't see was everything behind the couch. So I was glad that when "the moment" happened, Brenda didn't spend too much time back there.
The set ... personally, I love it ... it was so affective and I thought I was in their living room. It was creepy weird because I've been in houses exactly like this.
Support ... go see!

I also saw 'Night Mother last night and was completely blown away. Everything about the show is top notch. The directing, the cast, the set. I really love it when I look at a set and think "I'd live there." As for the seats, it might just be me, but I had a hard time hearing Edie Falco on numerous occasions and I was in Row G, in center orch. I can't imagine being in rear mezz and trying to hear her..

I had issues with the sound from the middle of the orchestra, but maybe it was an off night sound-wise? I don't know, it got better a little further into the show.
Brenda Blethyn is certainly incredible. She blew me away. I wasn't as impressed with Edie Falco as I expected to be, but I still really enjoyed the production. I love shows that can do to me what this show did.

I'm reading at The Other board how this production skews toward the mother's character (in no small part due to Blethlyn's harrowing take), that Falco plays Jesse even more determinedly than anyone else has (notably, the role's originator, Kathy Bates). I wonder if that's the take on this production? That it's more of a duet, because the mother's pain is landing more powerfully? As good as Anne Pitoniak was in the original, the night was Bates'.
I'm going this next week. The play remains a favorite of mine, and I can't read parts of it without feeling the pain of these lives. It's all just so...there, in 90 minutes.
