Student rush is $32 (cash only, two tickets per I.D.) and you should be okay for Sunday night, June 10, though one performer probably won't be in the show that evening, opting to be on the arm of Tony-nominee Jeremy Jordan at the Tonys.
The show's been doing exceptionally well at the Helen Hayes lately. Maybe it's all the buzz about the movie and commercials for it? The staff has already started counting how many times people ask if Tom Cruise is in the show?
The Hayes box office is terrific, great crew of ticket sellers, and will work with you, making suggestions on how you can get the best seat for the smallest bucks... if, of course, it's not sold out by then.
And remember, kids... it's always better to approach any box office with a bit of humility and courtesy, rather than trying to prove you're smarter than they are.
Most box offices will help you out, but it's the customer who sets the tone. If you're unpleasant, somewhat terse or just plain rude... well... how would you react? You might end up with a ticket, but why would that person behind the window go out of their way for you when you're being an ass? They'll just wanna' get you out of there as quickly as possible so they can continue to have a good day and you can continue to fail anger management.
Just a suggestion. I could be wrong.
The number of people who will not see a show they don't want to see... is unlimited.
