The Nance rush

Hi, all -

Pardon this question. I know the policy is two hours prior, but am trying to find out more details. This play and MOTOWN are the only productions I have yet to see this season. I could care less about MOTOWN, but am eager to see THE NANCE and want to avoid TKTS.

What's rush like? Do I need to get there much earlier than 2.5 hours before curtain? Or will that be plenty for a single ticket?

Thanks!

You could just avoid rush all together and do LincTix (I'm assuming you're under 35).

I'm actually looking to get tickets for this also. LincTix seems to be selling mainly the boxes or Row A on the sides. Has anyone sat in these yet?

I sat Row A on the side through LincTix. The stage is pretty high, but the side rows are further back than the front center row, so it's not as bad as those seats must be. It's not an atrocious view, but I would have liked to sit in the mezzanine (or at least further back in the orchestra) for this one. That said, of course for $30, I was perfectly fine with my seat. I really didn't get to appreciate the set in its entirety being so close, but I did get to see Mr. Lane's wonderful performance from just a few feet away, which was pretty exciting.

I can't speak to the view in the box seats, the Row A (side) seats had their drawbacks as well as their benefits. Updated On: 6/11/13 at 11:53 AM

I mentioned on another thread, I sat row A center orchestra 101, on the aisle. Like Wickedrocks said, the stage is high, but I'm also pretty tall, so didn't have much of an issue. And I can't argue the price.

I rushed the show this past Thursday. We got on line at around 5:30 for the 8:00 show, and were about 6th on line. Row A of the balcony, dead center.
The balcony is a little high in the Lyceum, so be prepared. Other than that, the seats were great (especially for $32) and the show was quite beautiful.
Good luck!

I just noticed that Plum Benefits (I belong through work) has balcony tickets for $35. So how was the view from there? I'm not a student and so can't do rush. Thanks for any advice!

Like I said, it's pretty high. It's also very steep, so depending on where you're seated, you may or may not have your view obstructed by someone leaning forward. That said, the play is beautiful, and I wouldn't complain in any seat for $35. Enjoy!

Thanks, all... Believe it or not, I cannot find my LincTix login info and no one from Lincoln Center ever replies for my request to receive the info.

Kirby, I picked up balcony seats at the box office today, even though the rep tried to talk me out of them, saying that they're 79 steps up! I believe that, but I'll make it up there somehow. She also said that the first row of the balcony has a bar that can block the view.
