Bumping this so people will see it earlier.

How obstructed have the rush seats been? If anyone has had success with standing room, please let us know as well. Thank you!

I had the seat all the way to the left of row B and couldn’t see stage right. I did miss some things; the cafe set is turned slightly towards house right, but the actors are in front of it, so it’s fine.
Most everything takes place front and center though, so even from my seat or the seats behind me, you should still be able to see.

When you walked by at 9:30, how many people would you say are in line behind the guy who got there at 7?

Whoops, forgot to include that after I had to reload the page.
There were 10 people behind him. The last person on the line had gotten there a few minutes before I walked by.

There is no standing room for this show. There is only about 4' or so between the lobby doors and the last row of the orchestra, so there's no space there to put standees, plus they have to keep the curtains closed directly behind the last row so that the comings and goings of the house staff do not cause a disturbance.

Keeping in mind the upcoming holiday (Tuesday and Wednesday will probably be traveling days anyway), I can’t imagine the time will be much different than last week Tuesday. I’d say 7am if you want to be first or second on line, 8am to be safe, 9am latest.

I tried to rush yesterday (Saturday), so here's what I've got:
I arrived at 8:30-ish, and there were over 20 people in line but I hoped that I could maybe get lucky. By the time the box office opened, there were definitely around 40 people in line. The tickets sold out when I was about 9 people back, so I would defnintely try arriving around 7am next time.

I rushed yesterday (Wednesday, a two-show day right before Thanksgiving) and arrived right around 8am. There were 12 people in front of me, but I didn't think to ask how early the first person got there. By the time the box office opened, there were at least 40 people in line, possibly more. I didn't stick around to see how many people got tickets but I can't imagine everyone did.
There was talk in line that they tend to give out 20 tickets, but I'm not sure if that's a hard and fast rule or if it's subject to availability. I was ticket number 16 or so for the matinee. I just needed a single ticket and got orchestra row Q house right, which was a perfect view. I saw the woman who was next to me in the rush line after the show, and she'd gotten a partial view seat further up in the orchestra, and she said she had a lot of trouble seeing, just as a warning!

Posted: 11/23/17 at 9:55pmThey give out 20 rush tickets each performance. There are designated rush seats on the extreme orchestra sides (I don’t think they are anywhere else?)

Bumping this. I am coming in from out of town this weekend, and curious what the current rush lines are like. Does anyone have a report from the last week?

My rush seats were Row A and Row B on the far sides of the mezzanine.

Posted: 12/2/17 at 1:40pmHas anyone rushed this recently? My friend and I were going to try tomorrow and I’m trying to figure out what time we should get there. Do you think 10am for a Sunday would be too late?

Just to give some recent info for anyone who needs it...
I arrived at the box office today (Tues Dec 5) at 9am and was 5th in line. By 10am the line had doubled in length. I was sold seat BB5 in the orchestra, and as I left I heard the guy after me being sold a box seat.
Excited to see the show!
