I'm also planning on student rushing it for Rabbit Hole so any info would be greatly appreciated.

OK OK. I've done Rabbit Hole Rush twice.

1) For a matinee tomorrow, get there around 9:15-9:30. The B.O. opens at 10. You may end up being the only ones there (the first time I rushed) or you may end up at the beginning of a line of people (the second time I rushed).

2) Show up with an open schedule when you get to the B.O. Ask what is available for the matinee and what is available for the evening. Take whichever are the better seats.

3) If you're the first or second person there, you'll get a ticket. There are 4 tickets in the front row mezzanine on the right that they set aside for RUSH.

4) Count on the entire cast (all 5 of them) being there for every performance. It's a limited run and they're a strong ensemble. There's no reason for any of them to skip out. Also, both performances I saw were Wednesday matinees, and the cast was in tact both times.

5) As I said above, it can be just you or a line as big as 10-12 can be there. Show up at 9:15 to play it very safe and you'll get tickets.

how are the rush seats?

If you get those front row mezz seats on the side, there's a very very thin metal bar that is in the way. But it is not distracting at all, and you still get a very good view. I've sat there for shows at that theater in the past too (I sat there for Reckless last year) and I've always been satisfied. If you don't get those seats, you'll probably be further back in the mezz, but regardless, it's a very small theater, so you should be fine.

So final verdict is the tickets are worth it?

And how long is the walk from Grand Central to the theater (I believe the Biltmore)? Isn't it around 10-15 minutes? or longer?

Just take the subway to 50th street and walk the three blocks from there to the Biltmore on 47th.

Damn, you all got me wanting to see this show again before it closes. An ensemble like this in a play this strong doesn't come along everyday. I'm guessing there might be more room in some of those extension weeks.
