I know there are a 1000 threads on this but i couldn't find just what i needed and current info. never hurts. I am going to do a student rush for this wed. mat. I want to do it for Cry Baby, Xanadu, South Pacific or A Chorus LIne.

Where are the seats located for each show?

What is easy to get what is hard?

I was also thinking of a lottery. How is In the Heights on a Wed. Mat?

There's a certain irony in comparing your username to the topic of this thread.

I'm smiling on the inside.

Cry-Baby, I believe is first row.

When I rushed ACL, the seats were on the extreme sides of the orchestra. So, they are obstructed. I think I was in row E or something.

Don't even bother with South Pacific. I think they've suspended rush for the time being.

Xanadu is based on availability, no specific location. Cry baby is front row, South Pacific hasnt had rush in ages since its sold out, and A Chorus Line is from what I've read sides of orch (or when I went it was a box)

Cry Baby and A Chorus Line we're easy to get, never tried Xanadu. And as I said South Pacific=not gonna happen

I've never done ITH lotto on a Wed but Tue and Thur there were 50-60 people

ACL is easy to get
Its whatever they have left in the theatre for that day [get there early and you'll get the best]
I was 3rd and I got okay seats.
8th row on the side
Not that obstructed but still obstructed
Those mirrors help

Scaryclowns: My thoughts exactly!

I haven't heard much about how difficult Xanadu rush is. Anyone care to post any feedback? Easy? Difficult?

A friend and I did Xanadu rush this Saturday evening and got there about 10 minutes before rush started and got K on the side. Slightly obstructed but really good seats.

I went in today for the matinee i got 2 center Cry Baby Tickets at like 10:45 and then did the In the Heights lottery with 200 people and WON!! I sold the cry baby tickets right away and saw In the Heights.

ACL is really easy to get and the seats are usually good.
Last time I rushed Xanadu (3 weeks ago?) I got there around 12:30 for the matinee and got a stage seat.

I rushed Xanadu on Sunday mat. and got front row. There weren't many people rushing, so it should be easy to get rush for Xanadu.

there's no rush for South Pacific, but there is a cancellation line, where you'd pay full price for the tickets.

in the future, there's a great page on Playbill all about rush.
