Yeah I was thinking too it would be were the $99 preview sale seats were, but the lottery is also happen during previews. Maybe after previews, it will include the front row? I'm also curious how many seats they are selling. There can't be that many so this lottery is going to be tri
So it's a lottery. Very curious how packed this is going to be. Is this the only in-person lottery happening on/off-Broadway right now with the exception of Wicked?
ElleMusical2 said: "Any loud gunshots, cannons in Hamilton? I've read 2 different opinions where one said they are loud and the other said they are not loud and are recordings. I am seeing it this weekend."
I don't remember them being loud when I saw it a few months back, but they are definitely from a recording. No blanks are shot on stage (if that is what you are implying with the loud ones not being from a recording)

magictodo123 said: "...before the show is even OVER just so they can get a good spot at the staegedoor. I am in NO WAY blaming Colleen."
This is such a problem, Colleen has mentioned multiple times she won't sign playbills of folks who leave before bows. I get wanting to get a good spot, I'm always the person to be late to the stagedoor and being stuck behind a million people, but god what is wrong with people?
LightsOut90 said: "can not wait to watch this show piss off people ?"
Besides that one petition from that person who clearly missed the point of the show, has anyone else (minus people who haven't seen it) really been pissed off? It's obviously controversial, but most push back from the show seems to be people who vaguely heard a synopsis and then decided the show was the issue, not any actual audience members.
This has been mentioned on threads before (I have even made this mistake), but NYTix is not a trusted website. A few months ago they claimed Company would go into Studio 54, which was completely false as it was confirmed by that point a Shubert house would have Company (now confirmed as the Jacob). Or that multiple shows would be playing at the CitS in March, which is not physically possible. My own guess with NYTix is they make up information just to seem more credible, do not trust them as

In theory, some jerk could sit in the purposely wrong seat in hopes of getting a better spot and if anyone calls them on it, that whole group of people (plus an usher) would have to go to the lobby to figure out whose seat it really is. Not a super smart plan, but I could see people try to a

Another hint is these two actors worked together before, but it's been 20 years. Interesting
uncageg said: "Are they changing content for this show weekly? Usually it is monthly unless a special request is made by the show. I suspect that they will use an insert until October."
Yeah I've understood it as monthly too, at least that's what I was going off on with my comment on how there definitely not going to have them by Sept 21st. An insert makes more sense though
ArtMan said: "I'm seeing it on September 21. If they are out by then, I'll pick up one for you. But, of course if it only for October, then...."
I'm assuming if they are changing their playbill before Oct, it would work best with Rob leaving the show Sept 24th so while you might catch Rob on one of his performances, it's very unlikely they would change to the new playbill before the 24th.
IHeartNY2 said: "Side note: I never did rush tickets...are they cancelled tickets that can be located anywhere, or are they usually in "bad"seats?"
It depends on the production/theater. Some rushes have designated spots (an example would be how Rent started it, all rush seats were in the front row) or they can be unclaimed tickets (not just cancelled but any seat is the theater that is available by the time rush opens). They can be bad seats, but not n
So this is the announcement in Time Square? Taking over all the advertising space is cool, but is it needed? They were counting down like it was something big, but nothing interesting happened. Maybe this was better for people just coming out of the show?
JBroadway said: "I pray that I’m wrong about this, but how much do you want to bet that it’ll be a freaking digital lottery?"
I'm not sure the box office would confirm the rush if it was a lottery (unless they were referring to the preview sale as rush, which seems unlikely). I agree a digital lottery wouldn't be great, the front row is probably going to be rush so if they had a lottery also I'm not sure what seats those would be.
I think it depends, are you 17 or are you like 14? If you are close enough to 18 (or can pass as 18), I don't think they will care. From my experience with show ID for tickets (lotteries, student rush, etc.), they really just try to match the picture/name to the person. Then again, it might depend on how attentive the people at the St. James box office are.
There has been no official announcement on rush as of yet, but people has asked the box office and have confirmed there will be at some point. There was also a rush-like sale a few weeks ago, but that was only for previews, so I think by the end of previews an official rush policy should be announced (as they have no sold any of the front row as of yet, besides that preview sale).
