also try Broadwaybox and playbill for discounts!

curtains has front row tix for $55??? when the box office opens in the morning? is it some sort of student rush or just regular rush tix?

Here are my questions. Can anyone help me verify the following... i know you guys know all the best ways to get tickets:

1. CURTAINS: $55 Tickets? I dont see this mentioned anywhere but a previous poster says they do it?

2. COLOR PURPLE: $26.25 Rush Tickets? (No Student ID needed)... what time should i arrive in the morning to make the line at the box office?

3. LEGALLY BLONDE: Student Rush? what time should i arrive in the morning to make the line at the box office?

4. RENT: $25 Lotto seats? is it easy to win on a monday night?

5. SPRING AWAKENING: Student Rush $25? what time should i arrive in the morning to make the line at the box office?

6. Do any of the main cast members not play any of the performances? like matinees, etc?

Who's Monica? Are you two a BWW power couple I should know about? I'm just kidding.

Avenue Q has Lottery drawings. Be there at 5:30 for 8PM shows..They draw at 6. Obviously, it is a long shot, but I hear they are front row for 21.50. TKTS will cost you around 66. If you haven't seen the show, it is worth every 6600 pennies.

Monday nights may be particularly hard, since it is a dark night, and very few shows are playing (Rent, Avenue Q, Phantom, and I forgot the other one + Off BWay).

Last week (1/02), I rushed for SA. I got there are 7am, and there were 7 kids lined up in front of me. I got fairly good seats ROW D, last two seats on the right. I would say 8 or 8:30 for SA rush, 9 if you don't mind where you sit.

I saw ACL tonight, it was fantastic, and I got rush tickets when I arrived at the theatre at 10..REALLY GOOD SEATS for $35..you might want to add it to your list!

Legally Blonde, I did not rush. I did TKTS..it was 68. It wasn't a bad seat, although I would've preferred something a little closer. I think they give out front row seats for rush, but I can't say what time I think you should be there..The earlier the better. Don't forget to check weather conditions.

Did not rush Color Purple either, I just have to say it's a fantastic show.

I did Curtains partial view, which the box office discounted 15 minutes before the show over the summer. $56 each I think, which ended up being behind the conductor! Amazing seats, though limited leg room.

Check Broadwaybox.com for Legally Blonde. I got orchestra seats for almost half price.

I went by the box office last week to ask about student tickets and was told that people start lining up around 3-4am. AM!! That's insane. I have no idea if that was only because of Fantasia or if it has calmed down since she left or what.

David Hyde Pierce has missed only one week of performances (his scheduled vacation) in his entire run with CURTAINS.

He is committed, and never misses.

awesome Foster! that makes me feel good...

Chaka Kahn does not do matinees in The Color Purple. She is playing Sophia.

Then split up BLONDE and TCP. Both box offices open at 10 AM and both tend to have lines early in the morning. There's a chance you'll be able to run back and forth and get tickets, but I'm not sure.
