Me and a friend did standing room for Kyle Dean's last show. No clue if it was completely sold out though.

The box office can offer standing room at their discretion, if the show is close to sold out. It doesn't have to be completely sold before they'll make standing room available, but it does need to be quite full.

Thank you for the info.

May I ask those who have done standing room for the show if the view is adequate? I sat in Orch Row P the only time I've seen it thus far, and it was fine but I could not see the top level of the set for a few crucial scenes.

I know that my dad had to stand in the SRO area the time that he saw the show with my mother and me due to the fact that he was a little late coming back after intermission (didn't miss anything, got to the SRO area as soon as the lights were going down) and I asked him about the view and if he had trouble seeing anything going on up on the third level of the set and he said no. And, that he had a fine view of everything.

The standing room locations are even more partial view than the rear orchestra - which makes sense because they are behind the last row of the orchestra. It's the same issue with being unable to see the top level of the set.

What crucial scenes? It's just a couple of verses that get sung by someone on the third level, right?

You can't see the top level in standing room(same if you are sitting in the last few rows of orch, the mezz overhang is in the way). I just bent down and peered over the few seats in the last row since I was dead center next to the control board(the lady that was there taking notes did the same thing and gave me the thumbs up when she saw me do it too...LOL). The wall didn't extend past the 2 center seats there.

"What crucial scenes? It's just a couple of verses that get sung by someone on the third level, right?"

Gabe is up there for part of I'm Alive(most of it is done on the 2nd level) and he sits up there in a few scenes also. Nothing big IMO.

Everyone is back in school so it will be calm now. Weekends will be a different story though.

It felt crucial when I couldn't see it, I'll tell you that!

Thanks for all the info. :)

This is VERY exciting news.

I guess I'm more along the lines of DevyGravity777 with what is crucial then. A couple of verses doesn't equal crucial.

SPOILERS.

The pills being dumped out at the end of "I Miss The Mountains" for example does equal crucial.

Just a heads up for people trying to do rush:

I walk by the Booth at like 9:50 every morning on my way to work. For the last 3 days there has only been like 15 people there at that time, compared to lines of like 40-50 during the summer.

On Monday, they didn't sell all the rush tickets, so there were fewer than 26 people who showed up all day.

^Wasn't Monday when Alice was out? It's possible that those empty rush seats were sold back to the box office since she was out. Actually, that's the more likely thing than them not selling out of rush tickets.

Were the lines like this on weekends 2?

No clue about the weekends.

However, I'm trying my hand at the Hamlet rush on Saturday, so I can report back.

I walked by this morning at a little after 10 after I got Hamlet tickets and there seemed to be no more than 15 or so people standing in line...very exciting news indeed.

Which side of the building does the line form on?

It seems to be forming on the 45th street side rather than Shubert Alley as it was a lot during the summer.

how much crazier do you think the rush will be the day of the flea market?

When I did it one time and the first people had started it in Shubert Alley, the security guy came out and moved us to 45th street and said that his boss said it's supposed to go on 45th unless there is something like a load out or load in where people could get hurt going on at the theater next door.
