What time should I arrive to RUSH:

Catch Me If You Can (Sunday)

How to Succeed (Tuesday)

Mary Poppins (Wednesday)

Sister Act (Thursday)

Spiderman (Friday)

I'm planning on going to New York in mid-August, but I like to plan ahead. So, I was just wondering what time I should arrive at the theater to Rush for these shows.

Yes, I used search and I couldn't find much other than Catch Me.

Thanks!

I just got back from my own trip, here was my experience:

Sister Act - I saw this Wednesday matinee. Got in line about 9:15 and was pretty far back in line. No evening seats were left, I got the last pair for matinee. There was a single rush seat left after me and I think I was lucky. Had I known I would've gotten there earlier.

Catch Me If You Can - I saw this on Wednesday evening. Got a student rush ticket no problem about an hour before the show.

How to Succeed - I saw this Saturday matinee. I got to the box office about 10:15 or so after failing to get Anything Goes tickets. There was a HUGE line and I was sure there wouldn't be anything left but there was. Partial view, towards the front of the orchestra on the very side.

I didn't see the other shows you asked about. Hope that helps!

I was walking my dog last week around 8am and there were maybe already 100 people in the H2$ line.

Just kidding, I just saw that there's no performance this Sunday.

The tickets Spiderman holds for rush usually do not appear on ticketmaster.

So, after watching the Tony Awards last night I've decided to change up my schedule a bit. I'm going to see Catch Me if you Can, Mamma Mia (never seen it), Anything Goes, How to Succeed, War Horse and Spiderman, and I was planning on rushing all of them. I'm planning to arrive at each theater at around 7, to ensure that I get seats. Do you think that I'll be good?

Also, how has the Jerusalem rush been? I've been wanting to try and get seats a few hours before the show starts. Is that possible?

Katurian2, you're right, it was discussed in another thread.

For War Horse, sign up for LincTix, the Lincoln Center Theater cheap youth ticket program. You can buy your ticket in advance and it's $30 I think. The only downside is that you can only buy 1 discounted LincTix ticket (unlike Roundabout's HipTix or MTC's 30 Under 30 programs, where you can buy a pair for you and a companion theatergoer).

I got mine for War Horse and (the now closed) A Minister's Wife practically the day the program was announced. My ticket for A Minister's Wife in the Newhouse Theater was excellent (center-left section row F near the more outside aisle) but I think almost any ticket would be great in that theater. My ticket for War Horse is the front row of loge, inside aisle of the 500s. The Beaumont is such a nice theater that I'm almost positive that any ticket is great (I've seen other productions from all around the theater and loved each seat.)
