School Of Rock Rush — Page 3

I have never been to a Broadway show but I am bringing my family (6) to NYC the last few days of June and think the School of Rock would be a great place to start. What is the best way for me to get tickets without breaking the bank? We don't all have to sit together. It will be my wife and I and our kids age 20,18,6,4. The oldest two are in college if that matters. Any help for this newbie would be greatly appreciated.

They were Row B far left orchestra, the view wasn't so great but for $37 per ticket I was extremely happy since we were able to move over right before curtain :). After seeing Jonathan Wagner (who is great) 6 times I finally got to see Alex Brightman who was AMAZING and deserves a Tony IMO, sorry im just tired of hearing of all that hype from Hamilton which I HATED!!!!! But that's just my opinion. My wife rushed SOR last night and got a Center Orchestra Row A rush ticket where she said the view was AMAZING!!!!!!!! "

You saw Brightman's understudy the first 6 times you saw it?!? You either have truly terrible luck or Brightman really does miss an obscene number of performances. I don't care how amazing he is in the show, he does not deserve a Tony if he doesn't show up to perform.

I went yesterday at around 5:10pm looking for a single rush ticket. My seat was D 111 in the mezzanine, which was a great view. However, I was seated right in front of a school group, who weren't terrible but definitely could have been quieter, so during intermission I moved down to where there were 3 open seats almost directly in front of me in row B, which was a really spectacular view (the rest of the mezz looked full, not sure about the orchestra). It was a last minute decision to go and I'm so glad I did. I *loved* the show - those kids are so talented and there is so much energy in that theatre.

Also glad I got to see Alex Brightman who was fantastic - the only other time I tried to rush was a Wednesday matinee in January, and his understudy's name was already on the board so I didn't buy a ticket.

He was excellent. It was actually my first time seeing School of Rock, but I've been a fan of his ever since he was an Elder Cunningham standby, so I'm glad he was my first Dewey! Except for one line stumble, I didn't notice any other mistakes. He looked so comfortable, like he'd been doing it for a while already.

Hello, I've rushed before on a 2 show sunday with no luck, flying in for 1 night and going to go for the 1pm matinee on july 3rd...think alex will be doing the 1pm show with them being so close together? wondering if the box office will open before noon with the early matinee, and if I'd be better to just try to find some cheap seats (lots left), thanks for any info! Saw rocky here (rush) 2nd row side orchestra aisle, was pretty obstructed-
