Came at 9 and was fifth in line.
About 10-11 by the time the BO opened.
Got A 107. Hope it’s a good seat. Do u guys think I should get a cushion?
I’m 5’9ft."
I think there is misconception that the stage is incredibly high. I rushed and sat in row A a few weeks ago and a cushion isn't necessary at all unless you have burning desire to see people's toes at the back of the stage.

Because it's not about the price paid, but availability, right? King Kong just opened in previews last week and was close to 100% sold. The average price is just based on pre-sales ticket prices, I imagine if attendance starts to drop in the coming weeks, you'll see it listed in TDF more frequently, but it's probably just too early.

Fair enough - I guess what wasn't clear was that I was saying that it wasn't going to win any performance/book/music awards - the comment had to do with the mediocre book/songs, etc. I agree the staging and set design was amazing.
That said,
Partial View @ Nederlander? Oct 22
2018, 12:23:13 PM
There are a few types of "partial view" in the Nederlander orchestra - front row they call "partial view" - but it's basically full view from center orchestra. Far left and far right in the front couple of rows - those seem like the view might be truly partial view where you might miss the action on the side of the side of the stage you are sitting on.
From the back of the orchestra, the only thing that I think might be obstructing your view is mezzanine overhang. I sat in the last row
I saw this on Thursday night. Packed house, Harvey was there, around Orchestra Left, Row J. I also saw some other minor celebrity types in the audience (Carson Kressley). Seats are pretty cramped - I'm a small person and thought it felt tight in the Orchestra - I can't imagine what it's like for anyone with long legs.
Show was entertaining - great performances, but felt a little long to me - I think it could've been 30 minutes shorter. There'
I agree with the last review - I went last night and had low expectations and just wanted to see what the deal was with the puppet. Quite frankly, although the music and story was kinda meh, the puppet/spectacle was pretty amazing to me. I thought the ship transition was pretty interesting and the screenwork/visuals was also very well done. It's not going to win any awards but I also wasn't unhappy that I went. Sat in row E in the Front Mezzanine and had a prett

I got them through mobile rush. I would just...keep refreshing, reloading the screen. I saw that "In other people's carts" notice quite a bit, but eventually something was available and I was able to purchase. Don't just give up because immediately it's not available.

It also depends on what show you're trying to rush for. Some shows you don't actually have to show up that early because the demand isn't there. Also, some box offices don't open until noon on Sundays.
James2 said: "What size are the programs? Are they Playbill size, or are they magazine size, like the one I got when St. Ann's housed A Streetcar Named Desire?"
They are not Playbill size - they are magazine sized.
FWIW, I saw this from the front row (basically center) - and I'm also shorter than you and had no problems whatsoever, I don't think I missed anything. Enjoy.
I won the lottery last night and I can confirm that my seat was first row, far right. I will also confirm that there are definitely a lot of....enthusiastic young fans who scream, but it wasn't over the line. I've heard the same or worse than that at other shows.
I noticed that they don't seem to have tickets saved in envelopes by name at the ticket office, so I suspect your rush ticket seats are determined purely by when you show up to box office to retrieve them (and nothing to do with when you purchase them.) I think they just checked my name against the list and then gave me the next ticket off the pile. I would suggest getting there earlier (I believe they start distributing them an hour before the show) for perhaps a better seat.&n
Mean Girls Lottery/Pink Wednesdays Jun 12

Well you need a picture ID to claim the ticket. Occasionally the lottery guy will make a joke about it, but he does occasionally say school IDs would work. So I would imagine as long as they have some kind of ID to claim the ticket. Shouldn't be a problem f
Hello, Dolly: Agree that this should be seen. Mean Girls: Songs themselves are kind of eh, but a fun show.
I don't know which of the older shows you have seen:
Kinky Boots, IMHO remains a fun, entertaining show, good music.
Otherwise...I mean...you've seen the Lion King, right? If you haven't seen Lion King...
Cheap OOTI Tickets? May 8

yesraccoons said: "I'm looking for a way to get a ticket to OOTI for 40$ or under. Is that possible? If so where do I go? I've heard the in-person lottery has been 50$ recently. Is this still true?"
I don't know if they've changed it - but it was always $40 for the lottery winners. They sometimes have a secondary "lottery losers" ticket sales for more than that if there are still available seats after the lottery is over. Maybe that's what this is?
You can all but write-off HP and Hamilton since the chances of winning are very low and demand incredibly high.
Apparently Mean Girls has also become a very difficult lottery/rush - but for what it's worth, they have both digital AND in-person lotteries and the Wednesday pink rush. In my mind, an in-person lottery or rush for a Wednesday matinee probably has significantly better odds than most other lotteries.
I just sat in this row on Saturday - Dress Circle Right Row A. These are the seats that I was given after winning the Friday Forty. Only Row A is curved around to the sides. I thought the seats were fine. From the right side, I didn't miss any action at all. As for distance, I was probably about as far away as about mid Orchestra Row M-N in that range. FWIW, I would not pay $200 more if that the difference between these side seats and Dress Circle Cente
