Passing Strange Hairspray, & Xanadu Rush?

Hi,
On Wednesday I want to get Passing Strange rush tix for the night show? My friend and I want front row. If we get to the theater at 8AM will we get tickets.

For the Wednesday Matine
We were thinking about rushing Xanadu but there are 3 of us. 2 of my friend's don't have Student ID's. Would I be able to get 2 tix with my ID and would they let my other friend get a student rush ticket even tho she doesn't have student ID? How strict are they on checking ID'S? Also where are the Xanadu rush seats usually. I called the B.O. today and the lady said they would be doing rush for the Wednesday Matinee.

Or we were thinking Hairspray for the Mat. How hard is the lottery? Would it be easy to end up with 3 tickets if we all entered? I know Hairspray has student rush as well where are those seats located? Again 2 of my freinds don't have ID do they check ID. Would they let my other friend get a student tix even tho she doesn't have ID?

Thanks for all the help

Why don't you wing it? That is what the pioneers had to do, they didn't have the internet for answers. NOW YOU GET UP AT 4 AM AND WALK THE 5 MILES TO THE THEATRE AND YOU WAIT!

Hairspray does not have student rush and lotto.

And I doubt you'd be allowed to get 3 student rush seats with one student ID.

Xanadu's rush policy and their leniency seemingly changes daily. When I went a few weeks ago they did not check my id.

Passing Strange would probably have tickets, whether or not you get front row is depending on availability. They sell what they have left, it's not pre-selected. In general (for most lotteries/rushes) you are not able to pick your seat, it's whatever they want to give you.

Hairspray lotto is so random. Sometimes there will be 11 people and therefore everyone will win and sometimes there are a lot of people who don't end up with tickets.

Honestly, the id thing might be an issue. I would never risk it like that because you don't know who is going to call you on it. It's always a possibility though.

Do Xanadu rush first and if you lose out, you can always do Hairspray lotto.

Bump & Yes Hairspray lotto is from 11:00-11:30 so it wouldn't work to do it after Xanadu we'd have to do Hairspray b4 and if we lose out on that and the student rush go get Xanadu.

Hon, if the rush for Xanadu is 2 hours before, that means for a 2pm show it wouldn't start until noon. The Hairspray lottery is at 11:30. Ergo you would have time to get to the Hayes and do Xanadu rush if you lost Hairspray's lottery. Assuming of course the guy in the box office at Xanadu feels like doing rush that day.

The only way you would have to get Xanadu rush tickets before the Hairspray lottery is if for some bizarre reason Xanadu is having a noon show.

But no, if they're as iffy on student rush as they seem to be, they definitely will not just take someone's word that they're a student. You're outta luck for the third friend.
