I tried rushing last week at about 6p and they had $75 orchestra seats and $30 balcony seats left. I wasn't going to pay that much for orchestra rush and I didn't want to sit in the balcony so I decided to take my chances with TDF in January.
I'm definitely waiting till the holiday season is over. It's going to be freezing in January so I'm hoping not many will want to stand in the cold. I love in-person lottery and am so happy this show is doing it. You're competing against 50-70 people instead of thousands. Circle In The Square shows have always done lottery after Wicked to get the Wicked lottery losers.
If The Wolves transfers to Broadway like Oslo did last year then it can definitely give Harry Potter a run for its money. If not then Harry Potter has it locked.
It looks like they might be pulling an OSLO and trying it in the smaller Lincoln Center theatre first. If it's a smash there like OSLO, and it's looking like it will be because it's selling out there, It will probably move to the bigger Broadway venue. Depending on how Harry Potter is received here it could also give it a run for its money for Best Play.
The box office is usually really good about refunding when one of the main stars is out. I think I read somewhere that it's policy or a law that they must do that if one of the main performers is out.
The show was kind of boring, but it wasn't too bad. It's a much better show than most award shows on TV. I was very happy with the winners since almost all my favorites won and I got most of them right. Onto next year with The Band's Visit sweeping the Tonys!
The NY Times poll is the best fore-teller of the winners every year. I would go with it more than any of the pre-Tony awards. However, they didn't help us this year with the top two races. Still going with DEH and Oslo.
Dear Evan Hansen will win. Just because it wasn't eligible at the Drama Desks doesn't all of a sudden mean CFA is the frontrunner. But you can predict CFA and look dumb while I'll pick DEH and look like a Tonys scholar.
I remembered Hairspray's performance on the Tonys where it had to be restaged on a much bigger stage. All of the actors seemed to be out of breath with the singing not even close to what it was in the actual show. I don't see Rudin's request as that big of a deal. I blame the Tony producers.

I went on Tuesday, side Orchestra last row all the way to the left against the wall. Had to duck my head down to the see the translated projections on the wall but other then that it wa
