Rush Tickets for a Wednesday Matinee?

Groundhog Day will also have rush tickets available. 

Last Thursday I was able to pick up a rush ticket for The Play That Goes Wrong at about 4:30 in the afternoon. I can't imagine you would have a problem at 11:30/12:00, should you choose to try that over a musical.

AEA, what was the location of your PLAY THAT GOES WRONG rush tickets?  Thanks.

Mine was Orchestra, Row B, Seat 5, so off to the side a bit, but a better use of $30 than spending the same amount for balcony seats where I may have been more central but would have been crammed into a much smaller space in terms of leg room.

Anastasia is definitely a choice, but I believe you'll most likely get SRO tickets, since I don't think they have a rush (unless they do now; but I think it's just SRO).  The cast are wonderful, and the set is beautiful.

Like others have said, Play That Goes Wrong is absolutely wonderful.  I saw the show a few weeks ago, and my rush seat was located in Orchestra row A (the second row) right in the center.  I thought it was a fabulous seat, and it was the most hilarious thing I've seen.

A Bronx Tale is also a good choice.  I also rushed this show a few weeks ago, and I actually ran by the theatre maybe 20 or so minutes before curtain because my prior plans with friends fell through at the very last second.  I got a ticket no problem, and there was at least one other person who got a rush ticket behind me!  My seat was located in Orchestra row AA (the first row) on the aisle of the center section.  It was marked as partial view, but I honestly loved being that close to the stage, especially because a lot happens at the front of the stage.  This show doesn't get much love on these boards, but I have to say that it was a great experience.  Sure, it doesn't do anything revolutionary, but it was a well-done musical with a good score that captures the mood and soul of the period, a great cast, and wonderful choreography.  I do have to admit that I believe my being so close to the stage made the experience all that more exhilarating and enjoyable, but I am sure that I still would have enjoyed the show from any seat.

This is another play suggestion, but I also really enjoyed Indecent.  Its run is ending in a few weeks, so I've been recommending it to as many people as possible.  It is an incredibly artfully done piece that tells a beautiful, important, and relevant story.  I rushed the show and didn't have a problem getting a ticket; from my understanding, rush tickets for this show are usually in the first row or two of the orchestra, and then in the boxes.  I personally got a box seat, which was a partially obstructed view, but it wasn't bad at all.

Best of luck on your interview, and I hope you enjoy whichever show you decide on seeing!

Thank you! So much good insight here. I appreciate it. :)

Thanks, AEA, for relating your recent rush experience.
