I’ve been to a lot of Broadway shows, and yet I actually almost left early by accident once. - It was Jerry Springer the Opera and I was genuinely so surprised/confused by the whole thing AND the story felt like it had ended. (To our credit, the second act is like a totally different story than the first.)
But when I looked around and saw that everyone had left their coats, we figured it out.
Who Have You Gotten Stuff Back From? Mar 30
2018, 12:08:21 AM
3.5 months later, I got a signed playbill sent back from Anastasia’s Derek and Christy! In large part I was glad to get it back because I knew it meant they’d gotten the letters I sent.
That was a fantastic thing to see when I checked my mailbox!

Did you ever get a results email? I got a rejection for the 8:00pm tomorrow, but I never got anything about the matinee. I put my name in for both at the same time...

Not an easy lottery, but possible. I won it on try #145.
Whaddya know, it's GROUNDHOG DAY! Feb 3
2018, 06:54:35 AM
I didn’t know yesterday was Groundhog Day, but I woke up with One Day stuck in my head, so I listened to the entire soundtrack for the first time in months. And that was without realizing it was actually GHD! I don’t know, maybe my subconscious knew or something. But I really really love that album, top to bottom. The staging was also phenomenal. I was such a fan.
NYC: Rush Tickets or TKTS? Jan 17
2018, 06:57:47 PM
I would similarly agree on the rush experience being worth it. I’ve made friends in rush lines a couple of different times, one of whom I later went to two other shows with.
The Band’s Visit has rush and it’s relatively cheap. It’s a great chance to see the original Broadway cast, and they’re fantastic and extremely talented. Maybe encourage your sister to try the show even if it’s something new?
UncleCharlie said: "I went about 1:45 p.m. on a 2 performance Wednesday in earlyOctober. They were out of rush seats for the matinee but got a great second row orchestra rush seat for the evening.Obviously, the earlier you can get there the better. Business seems to be picking up so it might not be as easy to snag very last minute rush seats now as it might have been in the fall."
Thanks for the update! I went last year at the last minute but I’ll make sure to

I’m glad to hear this, personally I really liked it. Do they still have those $30 rush tickets available at curtain?

No clue, I can’t help you on times, but I can say that you should definitely do it. The day I rushed it is up there as one of the best days of my year.

Waitress Rush Tickets Dec 2

So above me was Friday. I posted this in a different thread, but this seems like a better spot for it.
Saturday 12/2 rush: I got the very last two Waitress rush tickets for today (Saturday, so a 2-show day). I got there at ~8:45. I asked the people at the front of the line and heard that there were like 6 people there by 6:30am. I didn’t ask beyond that. I was roughly the 24th person in line or so. It seemed like there were 20 tickets per show, and no SRO yet. 0 tickets after me fo

Rush report Anastasia Saturday 12/2: 1st 7ish people all there before 5:50. 15ish by 7am. 30ish by 8:30.
I didn’t stay, so I don’t know how early the tickets finished.

Side orchestra, not bad at all.

Fwiw they also have an online lottery for $30, and it’s pretty easy to win. I got side orchestra seats and it was a good view.

Holy smokes. After seeing it once my immediate reaction was that it would be the best choice out of everything I'd seen to go to a repeat performance of, but damn that's some commitment. That's scary impressive.
Planning to rush this Saturday, so I wanted to make sure that I know what's up:
Are all tickets for both shows done in the morning? I'm looking to go to the evening show. Also, has anyone rushed recently, or does anyone have an educated guess as to what arrival time makes sense? Thanks!
I have a friend who is coming to town Friday - I was looking at what shows seem to sell SRO after the shows sell out such that it might happen shortly before curtain. I can get to the Theater district by 5:30 or 5:45.
We saw listed possibilities of Waitress, Anastasia, and Kinky Boots. Any feedback on whether those would be possible, or if there are any other shows to see? Budget is ~$50.
