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!

I rushed the other week (can't quite remember when, but two show day), got there at like 10.02 and there were about 5 people in front of me. Got front row, pretty sure all rush seats are there

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!

what time does the box office at the Helen Hayes open on Sundays?

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.

Any recent experience with rush for weekend matinees?

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 still haven't mnaged to see this show...

How limited are the $50 "limited view" seats in the side orchestra?   Does one side have a better view (or miss less action) than the other?

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...

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.

Arrived for rush today a little before 9. There were about 6-8 people ahead of us, at least one person bought a single ticket, not sure about the rest. We were the last two rush tickets that were sold, the person behind us who arrived around 9 was offered $50 orchestra tickets, but no more rush.

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 won the lottery yesterday and was seated in row P seat 24 (far side house right). The view was fine overall. The sound, however, was pretty damn bad. Anytime someone was speaking far off on stage left, it was almost impossible to hear them. I thought the show worked better in the Helen Hayes (and I hate that theatre with a passion). The Schoenfeld is my favorite Broadway house, but the set looked a little off in the show's new home with the gaps between the apartment set and the proscenium.

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.

It was my understanding that there is a lottery now but no rush policy anymore? Can anyone confirm what the current policy is, I'm hoping to catch this in December when I'm in town

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.
