What should I rush tonight?

Loved Exit the King. It's really good and well worth the trip. I don't know if they'll have any rush seats one hour to curtain but it's worth the try. It's a great show. Geoffrey Rush is terrific.

Blithe Spirit will probably have rush one hour to curtain and it's fun. Mary Stuart will too I think and I enjoyed it as well.

Of those three I'd say go to Exit the King first then Blithe Spirit then Mary Stuart.

Have fun!

I would be surprised if they didn't all still have Rush tickets available an hour before, but I think you'd especially have luck with MARY STUART and DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS, considering both were less than 50% full when I saw them.

In terms of recommendations:

EXIT THE KING -- fantastic and challenging, with an amazing lead performance

MARY STUART -- fantastic and straightforward, with two amazing leading performances

DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS -- good performances, classic play, fantastic set design, interesting direction

BLITHE SPIRIT -- four good actors having fun in a by-the-book production of a stale, creaky, dated play. I honestly don't understand people who think it's more than mildly chuckle-inducing

I'd say you can't go wrong with either of the first two -- both are productions you'd truly regret missing -- though EXIT THE KING is the most 'must-see' in my opinion.

What kind of audience interaction is there at EXIT, just so I'm prepared if I decide to rush it? I heard Rush interacts with the audience; or is that totally wrong?

Delta Nu.








Sorry, lame joke.

I don't think it would be that problematic for this show to sit in the box, wicked. Rush interacts minimally with the audience; he comes down and talks to them and walks through the orchestra. And most of the action takes place center stage so it's very easy to see. It's so good I'd really recommend it. (I'm going back once more before it closes. It's amazing.) Who knows? They may give you something other than box seats. Just give it a try and see what happens.
