The Humans - Rush/Limited View

Has anyone tried rush for The Humans lately? I’m considering rushing on a Saturday sometime in the near future, and I was curious what time I should plan to arrive at the box office. Also, if you’ve rushed recently, where were your seats? Does anyone know fi the seats are always in the same general location, or are locations based on availability? Thanks for your help!

Has anyone rushed recently? I'm going to try Sunday but I won't get into the city until about 10 minutes before the BO opens! I'm hoping I'll still be able to get a ticket! Any word on how the rush line has been would be appreciated!

On a side note asking about rush line makes me miss Broadway Spotted!

I think most theatres open at 12p on Sundays, but google it to make sure. When I rushed The Humans a couple of weeks ago I came at 5p, but they were sold out of rush so they offered me a $50 side orchestra ticket which I was happy with too. You miss some on the side, but it was definitely worth it.

I rushed Sunday, I arrived at 12:06 and there were no more $30 rush tickets. I was offered a $50 rush ticket but I opted to use the playbill discount code because the seats were better and $1 cheaper!

I 'rushed' successfully and easily two Saturdays ago. Arrived at the box office at about 10:05 - it opened at 10:00. Waited in line about five minutes.

The evening show had just sold out of rush tickets but I bought a single $30 rush ticket for the matinee. It was in the front row -- which might be where all the rush seats are. You definitely will be looking up the whole time and might miss some action on the top floor (but since I don't know what I missed, I didn't mind it).

For what it's worth, I loved the show.

Smart to see it before Tony nominations are announced...

Bumpity Bump Bump

I rushed today (Friday). Arrived at 9:30 for a 10:00 opening, I was 7th in line. Of the 6 people in front of me, 5 bought pairs and 1 bought single. I got my 2 (so that's 13 sold), and when I asked for mine the [very chatty] box office guy said, "Let me see if I have any more!" He was quite a jokester with everyone so who knows if they were really almost sold out of rush or not.

But they're front row and we were all warned that they are limited view.

Well, my neck hurts. lol

I was center orch house left on the aisle. Much (half) of the show happened on the upper level, which was straining to the neck to watch, and I couldn't see a lot of what was going on, though generally they were speaking so I still knew what was happening. It was much better when they were on the first level, but I couldn't see to the far opposite side of the stage. Which, again mostly wasn't an issue as important action came with dialogue.

Post Tonys update?

Yes this mirning

Arrived 930 maybe 25 people ahead of me

Rush sold out at 1010 after approx 15 seats sold for each show all front row

U ended up buying center Mezz at Reg price because I was told too much occurs top level that you miss out a lot in orchestra even first half where premiums are!!

Guy ahead of me paid 500 for a pair row D - guaranteed neck strain!!

Run for the mezz guys and girls where premium doesn't even exist!

I was just wondering how the partial view seats are at the Schoenfeld Theatre. I'm talking about the ones on the aisles of the side orchestras. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I rushed on Friday. Bus from Boston arrived at 5:30 and I asked for rush at 5:45. Lady in front of me asked if there were any $45 tickets left, and was sold rear side mezz. I asked if there were any rush left, and the lady said front row rush was all gone, but there were partials in the front orch she could sell at the rush price of $30. They were 6 rows back all the way house right. Approximately 1/4 of the stage was obstructed and I couldn't see anything that happened stage far left. The sound was great, though, and I also enjoyed being so close to the stage and seeing faces. I felt, especially given how late I arrived to the B.O. and the overwhelming quality of the piece, that I paid a very good price for my experience. Also, the box office lady was very lovely.

Just a random thought, I don't know why set designers and directors are okay with having so much of the seating as partial view. There must be ways to avoid that.
