Rent opening night?

What are the chances that tickets for Rent's opening night will be released? Do off Broadway shows usually put opening nights on sale to the public?

When do these tickets usually get released?(if at all)

I know some Broadway shows put opening nights on sale but they are in bigger theaters.

Would going to opening night be totally out of the question?

Thanks

Telecharge does not have that night for sale. I would say to go to the box office to see if there are any seats available for that night. My bet is that if there are, they will be back of house or in the mezz. If there are any left.

And so it begins. Everyone hang in there for the few lolzy months.

Speaking of rent, does anyone know how its doing? We aren't coming to New York until the holidays. I'm Crossing my fingers that it will still be playing.

A revival of Rent? Didn't it just close?

They are doing a lottery and opened mezz seating to the public. The performance starts at 7:00 instead of 8:00 for opening night.

Shows don't usually put tix on sale for opening night at all...until they figure out how many they need for producers, family members and such. Once that is figured out, remaining tix often are released, but you never know how many or when.

Same thing happens with "premium seating" at a certain time premium seats that haven't sold at those prices are often reduced to regular priced tix and released.

House seats are often held until the last minute too.

So...shows that may appear to be sold out now, may actually release tix next week. So it never hurts to keep trying a specific date. (Thats why you will hear about people still getting tix to see Mormon, for example.)

I thought it was a pretty high energy event! Lots of excitement in the air and lots of interesting people meeting and reuniting. I'm sorry I passed on the after party
