SHUFFLE ALONG rush — Page 2

Yes, I was in B6 last night. It was the WORSE seat I've ever had in 40+ years of going to the theater and I paid $169 -- there was no warning that it was partial view (I got my ticket last October). I'm only 5'6" -- maybe if you're tall, it's not an issue. For me, when the performers are at the front of the stage -- you see them from about their knees up. When they're dancing in the center of the stage -- you see them from the waist up. And often -- you only see their heads. I think there was good dancing but I couldn't really tell. At intermission, many of us sitting in row B went to see the manager. He shrugged and said we could stand in the back of the theater in the standing room area. Don't waste your money. You will be better off just getting standing room. He told us that the producers now realize there is a problem but still will not lower the price. I have been looking forward to this for so long and came from Cape Cod to see this. I was so disappointed that I can't even judge the show.

I'm short so all of these reports about not being able to see have me very nervous about where to sit and how much money to spend if I'm going to spend the whole time with a partial view seat (whether or not it's marked partial view). "

When I did rush 3 weeks ago I got a partial view seat on the Left Box. It was perfectly fine though since I saw all the tap dancing! How much is SRO? If you're going to sit in the last 2 rows, you might as well get a SRO ticket since you'd be standing behind those seats!

Thank you so much for the information! $99 for a partial view seat is really a bit too much.

The Theatermania discount works for the next month and the last two rows of the mezz are $55. I sat in the center of the second to last row last night and it was just about perfect for the price.

Just buy a $55 rear mezzanine seat as the view from there is fine unless you want to spend more and sit closer...

We got SRO tickets for the matinee yesterday - I think evening SRO tickets were gone right when the box office opened (if I understood a girl at the Waitress box office line correctly). We got to the box office around 10:30 and had to wait until they sold the last tickets which happened within 10 minutes or so. If any doubt, I'd call the box office the day before and they can advise.

View is absolutely fine, you cannot see the screen on the top of the stage that indicates the locations but otherwise clear view of everything (I have seen the show before).

No rush tix only SRO. I went to box office yesterday at around 8:30 to get SRO for matinee. I waited until 10:30 for them to sell out.

I saw 7 shows in 5 days and wish I hadn't wasted time on seeing this show. This was my least favorite. Glad I only paid $35. The show is long, redundant, and boring IMHO. Others may think differently.

I sat in the rear mezz, last row for PIPPIN and 3 rows from the back. Both center right. Onece on the aisle and once 3 seats in. Perfect view. Especially for SHUFFLE. The chorography looks great from up there.

Sorry if this has been already answered, but for anyone who got SRO: do they accept credit cards or is it cash only?

I'm planning on doing SRO this Tuesday or Wednesday. How early does one have to show up? For those who have done SRO for this show, how was the view? Thanks!

I cant imagine them not selling Rush tickets while Audra is out.

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker, first time posting. Thanks for all the good details in this thread, esp the discount code.

We are visiting NYC from Portland, OR in early July and plan to see Shuffle Along. I want to purchase tickets in the next 2 days (before the Tonys).

For folks that have seen the show, given staging, etc. if you were choosing between the seating options below, which would you choose (ticket price being equal):

1. Orchestra Left, row H (7 rows from stage), seats 13/15 (7 seats in from aisle)

2. Mezz Center, Row D (4th row in Mezz), 2 center seats

3. Mezz Left, Row B (2nd row in Mezz), seats 5,7 (2 in from aisle)

Based on comments in this thread and others and photos I've looked at, I imagine all 3 options are good. I'm just stuck in "analysis paralysis" and could use personal opinion/input.

Thanks in advance!

They've been doing SR most shows but don't sell them until 2 hours before. The line usually starts about 4-5 hours before the show.
