has anyone tried YOUTH rush for this show? Looking at giving it a try this weekend and curious what to expect. What time to arrive, etc.
Thanks

Anyone have any info on where the rush seats for this might be? Thanks!
Pretty sure it's whatever is available. They didn't have any rush available on Tuesday when I tried, so I bought a $60 seat for tomorrow night just in case the same was true for tomorrow's rush.
I got rush tickets and they were in the last row of the mezzanine on the sides.
I rushed last week and got row E in the rear mezzanine in the far house right section. The legroom was horrible, but the view was great.
Verpertine, I had a similar experience with the seat I purchased for A Delicate Balance. The seats are quite uncomfortable, but the sight lines are absolutely fine. I'm glad to hear the staging of Skylight is fine to watch from the rear mezzanine, although I don't see why it wouldn't be!

Has anyone tried this recently? I was considering doing it for tomorrow's matinee - what time are people usually lining up?
ads08, I'll be seeing you there! I'm going to rush for the matinee performance tomorrow as well.
I did rush twice recently, the first attempt being unsuccessful.
First time: I went on a Saturday hoping to get Evening tickets. We got there at 9am and were probably 4th or 5th in line. When the box office opened, they sold only 2 matinee tickets, and 1 evening ticket - that's it. No more rush tix. This was BEFORE Tony noms
Second time: got there at at 9:20 this past Sunday (box office opened at 12). 3rd in line. This time they seemed to be selling more, but I'm not sure how many more because I didn't stick around.
Bottom line is: it's important that you be close to the front of the rush or you risk not getting tickets. I agree with the previous poster that the leg-room is horrible. I'm also not a fan of the Golden rear-mezz because it feels really far away, but it was a great show and well worth it (plus I brought my binoculars)
Thanks for the info, JBroadway! I am planning on getting to the box office at 9:00, but at least now I know that I may need a solid back-up show that I can dash over to at 10:00 if Skylight doesn't pan out. I'll report back tomorrow for those interested in trying for the rest of the run.
The rush was very crowded this morning, probably 30 people by the time the box office opened. I arrived at around 9:20 and was 10th or so in line. There was omg group of four in front of me who purchased 7 tickets for the evening performance, and shortly thereafter, they ran out of tickets for the 8:00 show. I was able to buy a single ticket for the matinee without trouble, though, in the Rear Mezzanine.
