Which same day seats are easiest to get? Jul 31

I'd do Waitress if it were me! Hang out at the box office an hour before it opens and you should be golden for rush tickets. (Either way, I do think trying a morning rush - and then having some of those other options in your back pocket, like the in-person lotteries - is the way to go.)

She even said something along the lines of, "I don't think Liza can sing" during the Younger live interview prior to the episode - so that clip's likely her downplaying her crazy talent.
I don't feel comfortable copying/pasting other people's posts from one thread to another (even with quotation marks & attribution) so, sorry, just going to link to the other thread: Yes, there are some Stubhub reports out there - https://www.broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.php?thread=1109123&page=2
I did SRO for the Saturday evening performance on July 7. They actually didn't start selling standing until around 6:15p - the show hadn't yet gotten close enough to selling out when the box office opened at 10a. (As I mentioned elsewhere - I think on the TBITB rush thread - they said to come back at 4:30, then at 5, etc., until we formed a mini line around 6p. Keep in mind the week of the 4th is typically a light theater week, so our experience might not reflect other Saturdays.
Last I saw, Hamilton does their SRO rush maybe an hour out from showtime, so you could easily wait for matinee rush tickets at 8a, go to a matinee, grab lunch, then wait in the Hamilton line and hope to get lucky.
In terms of who'll have rush tickets after the box office opens, I'd check out the message boards closer to your visit to see what people have been reporting lately - personally think we're too far out to know just yet. Good luck! Two rush shows in
Bumping this thread... anyone have an idea where rush seats would be for Chicago (or if they're still just doing SRO)? Wondering if I'm better off rushing or buying cheap tix via TodayTix - thanks!
Ha, I typically expect no one to stage door, so I'm pleasantly surprised when anyone does. We'd asked before the show and were told something along the lines of they weren't sure who'd be out afterward, but someone would be... basically implying that it'd only be 1-2 of the actors. So four felt like a fair amount.

It will then take another ~540 performances to take the #5 slot from the original production of Les Miz, but what a huge milestone!"
Wow - congrats to all involved! Incidentally, Wicked's the only show I

Sorry, can't be much help, but he wasn't signing Saturday night (July 7). Watkins, Washington, Carver, and Bomer were the only ones who came out (though I will mention that they all took a ton of time signing/were really nice!).
They started selling SRO for yesterday's (Saturday's) evening show around 6:15p. Earlier in the day, they'd suggested stopping by at 4:30p, then at 4:30p they said to come back at 5p, at 5p they said to come back at 5:30p, and so on... until 6ish when a small line of us wanting SRO formed in the box office.
As far as I know, they did NOT sell SRO for the matinee yesterday as the show didn't sell out (or come close enough to selling out).
I'd probably take her to https://eatbychloe.com. It's a small chain, but as far as I know they're centered in NYC/have the majority of their locations here (elsewhere, just 2 in Boston, 1 in LA, and 1 in Providence).
Jonathan Cohen said: "I'm just confused by the timing. Clearly their week to week numbers were horrible, but I thought their advanced sales for the Summer months were supposed to be better, and they weretrying to bridge the gap until that uptick.If they're closingJuly 1, in the middle of Summer,advanced sales probably weren't that much better."
Same here - I'm surprised they're not holding out through July. I'd have thought summer tourists&nbs
EllieRose2 said: "Love that song! And everyone who has sung it sings it their way, which is beautiful. I love Jessie's raw version, Sara was perfect because she wrote it, I loved Betsy's take, and Katharine sings it very pop style, which changes things up a bit. My favorite though is when Jeremy Jordan sang it a few weeks ago at Miscast. I love when he covers songs, check it out on Youtube."
Sorry, off-thread, but just need to chime in with praise for his ren

Uh, what universe are you in where there areBand's Visitdiscounts being "flung" around everywhere? The show is selling quite strongly, notably so for a small
Great Dame said: "I was going to post the same question here, commenting to follow. These are all great suggestions everyone! I'm personally more interested in local faves and less touristy things."
As a local, my pre-show tradition is to indulge in a couple dollar slices from 2 Bros. Pizza. I did it before my first Broadway show - when I was alone & really didn't have the cash to eat somewhere nice - and it's stuck. :) Not the most amazing pizza in t

Yes, please. (Maybe she's waiting for the SMASH/Bombshell show...)

One key obvious moment was at the beginning when John Legend/Jesus enters the stage during Heaven on My Mind and strolls over to the mosh pit, shaking hands with screaming delighted fans. How was that for
