Rush advice / help needed for upcoming Broadway trip

I arrived a little after 8 on a Saturday for Shuffle Along and was 12th in line. Not the best position, but I did end up getting a ticket just fine. By the time the box office opened, however, there were at least 25 people in line and most of them didn't get tickets. It will probably be a little less crowded on a Wednesday, but to ensure your safety in getting tickets, I really wouldn't recommend getting there later than 8:30.

Typically, when arriving at the Lunt-Fontanne around 10:15, I've been able to get tickets just fine, so your odds of getting tickets to both the shows you want are pretty good. Not sure if Neverland does SRO, though.

The Color Purple has a pretty popular rush, and most people I know try to get there around 8 to be safe. Something Rotten and Disaster are quite a bit easier, I think, but I've never rushed either so I'm not completely sure.

I rushed Finding Neverland about 6 weeks ago and arrived to the Box Office about 11:30. I received a great seat, Orch on the aisle. A patron walked in after me and also received a great seat.

Be aware that Shuffle Along originally announced that they were only offering rush for previews and the opening night is April 28 and people have reported that they got word from the box office when the show is sold out they will sell standing room after opening. The Color Purple, especially since you're coming right before Jennifer leaves, you're going to want to get there no later than 7 am. They also sell standing room when they sell out. I got it for this past Saturday matinee an hour before the show. I had been watching the tickets go on telecharge and assumed I had a good shot of getting one at that time but if they're sold out before box office opening they will sell to people in line after they sell all the rush. The standing room seemed like a much better view than the boxes. Something Rotten an hour before should be sufficient and Disaster and Finding Neverland you should be able to grab one at any time of the day before the performance.
