SPEED-THE-PLOW rush?

Where are the seats? And if they're whatever they have, do you think tomorrow evening's seats will be crappy after the stellar reviews it got?

Should I just buy discounted tickets online now?

Thanks!

Also, what are the rear mezzanine seats like?

I haven't sat in the rear mezz seats in the barrymore for a play, only musicals. I know the view is fine, of course it's a little high, but not a terrible view. The theater is only approx 1000 seats. However, I have no idea how well you can hear them since they are not amplified by microphones. But typically you can rent listening devices if you need them for free from someone at the theater.

I'm gonna wait...the ticket selection online is pretty dismal so I assume the box office is the same. I'll wait for the buzz to die down a little bit.

Were the good seats?

REALLY enjoyed it. The seats were fine but the guy in front of me kept moving.

lol no one sang Happy Birthday.

Bump...so are the seats they give away for rush always box seats?

It varies, but the boxes are often rush, from what I've been able to tell.

Absolutely, the show has done under 60% the past two weeks, so I doubt that a Thursday in January is likely to be sold out.

I rushed it on a Saturday night a couple weeks after it opened with Piven. I had box seats... You miss some moments of the show in this location. Your coming during a slow period on broadway and the show is already performing at a much lower level than it previously was. If you go to a performance at a more off time (i.e. not a Saturday night or something like that), you'll probably have a chance of getting better seats. Although it's a bit random, there's a possibility of good open seats being available on a Saturday. It's hit or miss... Get to the box office 15 mins-30 mins before rush starts (2 hours before curtain). That's what I did when Piven was in it and there was only a few people ahead of me. Front row at most shows is really not the best place to sit... They tend to put invited guests more towards the middle of the orch, maybe like 10 rows back.
