I thought rush seats were the first row. What happened? Was that policy officially discontinued?

Looked like were all in the Rear Mezz. Fine seats.

The show was a bore. Not bad, not good. Just eh. It happened. The songs were okay to listen to, but the melody left you just as soon as it started. Rob McClure was great and brought a nice intensity to the show, but the others around him weren't as interesting. The women were giving you just by-the-books musical theater acting, and his brother was just AWFUL. So boring. And he did air quotes for the word "wow." Is that even period? What?

I'm interested in rushing tomorrow or Sunday. Would I be ok getting there at 9am (or 11 Sunday)? I assume so, but want to make sure since I don't want to waste too much time. Thanks for any help.

I went the other day to see the matinee show but was given the same line of only selling rush tickets in the morning.

Went this morning, 10-12 people in line for each performance (they split them up once they opened the box office.

As others have said, they sell rush until the line runs out, so at 10:10 they stopped selling rush and told a woman if she didn't buy tickets now, she'd have to pay full price "in 2 minutes," even though it appears there are plenty of seats left.

Thinking of doing this tomorrow! Are they front row? If I get there at 10 will I be OK?

Anyone been lately? Seems like there was some dispute about where seats are and how many and when to show up, any new details would be appreciated!

Did a few Sundays ago. Arrived at 9:30 for a 12:00 box office opening. At like 10:00 a group of like 6 people came behind us, then at 11:00 more people started coming. I'd say 11:15 by the latest show up for best seats. Seats are in the Rear Mezz. I was 3rd Row Rear Mezz, but the view was fine, and I saw the show again (free Orchestra seats) and the view was the same, just was closer, don't miss anything. :) Hope this helps emilyfaye48, btw: huge fan of your videos!

Emilyfaye48, I rushed two Wednesdays ago, and my seat was second row center. Great seat for the price. I loved the show. Wish it was doing better.

Stopped at the box office a little after one this afternoon and they had rush tickets for both shows, but not many. Overheard that most non-rush cheap tickets were sold out, so it seems like they are going out with good sales.

I saw it last night and was able to get $45 TDF tickets in the last row of the orchestra. They were great seats and Rob McClure is fantastic in the show, as is Jenn Colella. This was a show that I wasn't sure about, but I'm really glad I caught it before it closed!
