Hello, all! Now that the rush scene seems to be back in full swing, I'm on the hunt for the best resources. My former go-tos may not be useful anymore... Playbill seems outdated, broadwayforbrokepeople isn't going anymore, and now a few friends told me to check this out. However, when I search the chats, it doesn't turn up much. Any wisdom out there?! Do we need to make something just for us?!? lol

I think one of the more recent websites that keep up to date with rush is https://bwayrush.com/. I haven't used it yet, but will the next time I rush this summer, a lot of great info there.

The boards can also be used to find threads from people who have rushed already, where seats tend to be located, what time to show up at the box office, etc. The search function tends to be fine if you look up "[show] rush" and if one thread been dormant for awhile, you can bump it

Wow. That's a great site. Seems pretty up-to-date. How long has that been around?

I've also heard about a new app that's just getting started - LineWise. Have you tried that?

Playbill has a current listing of all the Broadway shows rush policies.  You had mentioned it was outdated.  Looks pretty current.  Here's that link

When I was in line to rush "Some Like It Hot" on Saturday, 5/6 a gal came by with a card that had the QR code for the Linewise app.  She passed them out to everyone in line.  She explained how it worked, but I don't have a cell phone, so I'm unable to use it.
