School Of Rock Rush

[laugard]

I picked up a rush seat at around 345 for tonight's 7 pm show (Monday). I got partial view in the orchestra, Row D. Hopefully it won't be too bad, and better than the partial view ticket I could've also gotten in the mezzanine. 

[PThespian]

There are partial view seats in the first row (the last two on each side) that I believe are sold as either rush or lottery tickets. 

I believe the same is true up in the mezzanine, but I can't be sure because I don't work up there.

What was your seat number? I bet I sat you. "

I don't know if you'll be able to answer this, PThespian. But I saw the show from the far side of the front row and was a little disappointed by how much was obstructed by the way the show was staged. I have the option to return sitting in the very far side of row O of the orchestra. Do you know if those are less partial view? Or do the far side seats further back have another unique set of obstructions due to being even farther over?

[PThespian]

I definitely think the farther back you go the less obstruction there is. 

Do you have specific seat numbers you are looking at?

PM if you'd like, and I will go look at those exact seats for you.

Anyone know if Alex brighten shows up to Sat. matinees or stage doors after typically?

You might have sat me as well. I got a rush ticket for Monday night and was far left orchestra, J29. I didn't really need you to seat me since I knew I was last seat Row J but watching you interact with others, you seemed like a real good dude.

Have to say, hoped it would be good especially since I enjoyed the movie. My suspicions about you overhyping it cause you work there were NOT justified. It is a WILDLY entertaining show and the talent on that stage is ridiculous. I shan't doubt you again.

J 29 is one aisle over from where I work. However if you noticed a dashing, albeit somewhat portly, young gentleman at the bottom of the next aisle that would've been me. 

i am glad you enjoyed the show. I honestly don't promote it just because I work there  I promote it because I really think it is a great show  

Believe me. I have worked many shows in my 20 odd years of doing this that I have not actively promoted

I rushed School about 7 times already with my wife, most recently 2 weeks ago for a Wed matinee. They were Row B far left orchestra, the view wasn't so great but for $37 per ticket I was extremely happy since we were able to move over right before curtain :). After seeing Jonathan Wagner (who is great) 6 times I finally got to see Alex Brightman who was AMAZING and deserves a Tony IMO, sorry im just tired of hearing of all that hype from Hamilton which I HATED!!!!! But that's just my opinion. My wife rushed SOR last night and got a Center Orchestra Row A rush ticket where she said the view was AMAZING!!!!!!!! 

[Cterrill999]

I have never been to a Broadway show but I am bringing my family (6) to NYC the last few days of June and think the School of Rock would be a great place to start.  What is the best way for me to get tickets without breaking the bank? We don't all have to sit together.  It will be my wife and I and our kids age 20,18,6,4.  The oldest two are in college if that matters.  Any help for this newbie would be greatly appreciated.

[PThespian]

Of course rush and the online lottery are going to be the cheapest means of getting tickets. 

However school will be out by then, and it might be more difficult to acquire tickets by either of those methods. 

There are regularly priced tickets for 59.00. The seats are actually pretty good. Especially at that price. 

And you're right. Given the diversity of ages School of Rock is a good way to go. 

[ClumsyDude15]

I don't know how they handle standing room anymore, but both times I saw the show were from standing room for $27.

You saw Brightman's understudy the first 6 times you saw it?!? You either have truly terrible luck or Brightman really does miss an obscene number of performances. I don't care how amazing he is in the show, he does not deserve a Tony if he doesn't show up to perform. 

[PThespian]

Did you by any chance attend matinees on two show days the first six times?

Alex's attendance record has been pretty flawless otherwise for some time now. 

[laugard]

Alas, PThessian, I don't think you sat me as I was on house right. But I was helped by a very friendly woman with dark hair. I was in the last seat in row D, number 20. But the entire row ended up moving in 2 seats closer to center due to two empty seats. 

[PThespian]

I know exactly who that was. 

I could make a comment, but I'm sure nobody here really cares about staffing issues at the Winter Garden. 

I'm glad you had a chance to see the show.

I went yesterday at around 5:10pm looking for a single rush ticket. My seat was D 111 in the mezzanine, which was a great view. However, I  was seated right in front of a school group, who weren't terrible but definitely could have been quieter, so during intermission I moved down to where there were 3 open seats almost directly in front of me in row B, which was a really spectacular view (the rest of the mezz looked full, not sure about the orchestra). It was a last minute decision to go and I'm so glad I did. I *loved* the show - those kids are so talented and there is so much energy in that theatre.

Also glad I got to see Alex Brightman who was fantastic - the only other time I tried to rush was a Wednesday matinee in January, and his understudy's name was already on the board so I didn't buy a ticket.

[BroadwayMomma]

Did anyone go to today's matinee?  It looks like Will Blum made his understudy debut as Dewey.  

[PThespian]

You are correct. He did. 

I don't usually work Wed matinees because of my day job, but I decided to go in. 

I only watched a little bit of it, but I really liked what I saw. A lot of the creatives were in the back of the house, and they seemed please as well. 

I'm going to watch him do the whole thing on Sat and can report back.

He was excellent. It was actually my first time seeing School of Rock, but I've been a fan of his ever since he was an Elder Cunningham standby, so I'm glad he was my first Dewey! Except for one line stumble, I didn't notice any other mistakes. He looked so comfortable, like he'd been doing it for a while already.

Anyone have a recent update to the rush tickets situation? I'm planning on rushing SoR tomorrow (Tuesday). Any suggestions of what time to get to the box office? Thanks!

[PThespian]

I'm not sure about Rush, but business has increased a lot since the Tony's. 

We have had standing room for virtually every performance since. 

I would assume Rush has also been affected.

Hello, I've rushed before on a 2 show sunday with no luck, flying in for 1 night and going to go for the 1pm matinee on july 3rd...think alex will be doing the 1pm show with them being so close together?  wondering if the box office will open before noon with the early matinee, and if I'd be better to just try to find some cheap seats (lots left), thanks for any info!  Saw rocky here (rush) 2nd row side orchestra aisle, was pretty obstructed-
