Rather than search through a bunch of different posts I thought I could ask this all here. How busy are the following rushes and how decent are the seats? I will be visiting over Memorial Day weekend and can see 4 shows, possibly 5  

 

Color Purple, American Psycho, Shuffle Along, Waitress, and Bright Star

 

Thanks in advance

Waitress does not have a rush.

Rushed Bright Star yesterday, arrived at 9:20 and was fourth in line.  Tried rushing The Color Purple a couple of times and kept missing by one person.  The earliest I arrived was 8:50 and there were already a good amount of people so I would go early for that one- ended up getting discounted tickets. I got full price tickets for Shuffle Along but I've seen the rush line and (at least a couple of weeks ago) it was pretty long.

Not that this website tells you how the lines are, but it's a great website that is updated pretty regularly on rush/lottery reports:

I just rushed American Psycho on Monday. Got there around 9-ish and was 5th in line. I could see the Shuffle Along line from across the street, and I don't remember when people started lining up, but I do remember that the line got long fairly quickly. When I rushed The Color Purple, I got there a little after 7 and was 3rd or 4th in line. I don't think anyone else joined the line until 8-ish, but I could be remembering that wrong. Waitress offers standing room instead of rush, and I think they only offer it when the show is sold out. Not sure about Bright Star, but it looks like someone else covered that one. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your visit!
