Rushing CURIOUS INCIDENT and other annoying tourist questions

I'm coming into town tomorrow for a job interview on Monday, and I'm staying an extra two days to catch some shows. I have a few quick questions to those in the know

1. I'll be hitting Downtown around 5pm, traffic from JFK permitting. Is it probable that I will be able to snag a rush seat to CURIOUS INCIDENT that late in the evening or would I be better off swinging by the TKTS booth and seeing what I can talk my way into for the evening? Also, where/how good are the rush seats?

2. I'm looking at rushing GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE on Sunday...What time do they start rush, and how early should I get there?

3. Does anyone know what a ticket to YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU is going for at TKTS? How does it compare to what TodayTix is offering?


Sorry, I know there are millions of these threads.
To make up for it, here's a picture of Bernadette Peters hugging a muppet.

I can only sufficiently answer the Curious Inciden questions. You will probably not be able to get rush that late. The line is usually full when the box office opens at 10. The seats are partial view orchestra and you do miss some things. The $27 rear mezz seats are better. As for TKTS, it's only on there occasionally. It's selling out, so you're better off doing Todaytix for it if it's available.

1. I think you're underestimating the appeal of this show on a Saturday night. Rush is based on availability, and I just got no seats to pick from on Telecharge (aka no availability, unless their site isn't working at 1 a.m.). So, you might be doing SRO, if anything. But I doubt you're seeing this at a discount, if at all. Unless you're around on Tuesday.

2. Their rush is only for patrons 35 and younger, FYI. No clue on when you'll have to get there if you're young enough.

3. $76 at TKTS, most likely. $37+ with TodayTix. How does it compare? TKTS is more likely to be orchestra, and TodayTix lets you pick from various prices/locations, although the cheapest price will be rear balcony.
