I have the opportunity to rush one show tomorrow and given it's a Monday, there isn't a ton on.

I'm thinking either Chicago or Tootsie - is one easier to rush/has better seats? Have you seen both and preferred one of them? I know pretty much nothing about Tootsie, but I've seen the Chicago movie and really like the music.

Tootsie might be a bit of a rush as it's still a new show and just won some Tonys, but Chicago seems like a very easy show to rush according to some of the other threads here. Here's some links to look into

How often do you come to  NYC?   Chicago has been playing for 22 years and appears that it has many more years left.  Tootsie may not be playing this time next year.

I'm having the same dilemma - I'll be in NY on Monday night, July 8 and can't decide between 'Phantom', 'Chicago' and 'Tootsie'.  I was going to go with POTO because it's been a while since I've seen it on B'way (about 17 years) but have seen it a few times on tour. 'Tootsie' did nothing for me from what I've seen from the Tonys, and 'Chicago' is just 'ehh' for me (I saw it about 15 years ago and on tour).

 

But I'm not completely ruling out Tootsie...

The Tootsie lottery isn't hard to win, seems easier than waking up and queuing?!

Tootsie is very funny :)

I got my tix from TKTS half off.

I considered it, but I've entered a few times and haven't won - I didn't want to risk missing out so went with rushing tootsie!
