Put me in the camp of those who thought this show was good but not great.  I came in hoping to love it, and I came away appreciating and chewing on it but, ultimately, wanting more.  I can't quite put my finger on it, but the piece did not feel fully fleshed out nor completely polished.  What probably bothered me the most was that the book felt more developed than most of the lyrics; as such, I felt much more drawn into the characters when they weren't si

When I got on the rush line today (Saturday) a little after 10am (didn't have much choice given the timing of my intercity train), I must have been around 50th in line.  Needless to say, I didn't get a rush ticket and ended up getting a ticket via StubHub.  Perhaps because of MLK Jr. weekend, my Saturday matinee ticket came out to $44 before fees ($56 after fees) for Row F Seat 8 (house right rear mezz), which was about the cheapest the tickets went. 

My friend and I rushed last Saturday for 4 tickets to the evening performance.  We got to the box office around 10 minutes after 10am and were about 20th in the line that was there at the time.  We were offered partial view for $39 or full view for $55 (we chose partial view).  When I told the box office attendant that we'd be happy with being split up as two groups of 2, sitting near or behind one another, she said that that was likely the seating arrangement we'd

For Wednesday, October 11 (two-show day):

I was first in line at 230am (not totally by choice; coming from out of state, I was limited by available bus/train schedules)

Second person joined me at 430am, third person arrived at 515am, fourth person arrived at 530am, fifth and sixth people arrived at 6am.

By 8am, 12 people in line.

By 9am, ~20-25 people in line.

By 10am, ~35-50 people in line.

I did not stay around to see how many people were able to ge

Thanks again for all this great advice. Much appreciated.

I ended up getting to the theater around 230am and was the first one there. As Wick3 noted, there were three people on the DEH line across the street, and the lighted Carousel sign at the Imperial was bright enough to light up the sidewalks on both sides of the street that were nearby. As such, I took the chance to just secure my belongings and sleep at the Schoenfeld. By the time I woke up from my first nap at 530am, there were

Another thread mentioned someone getting a SRO ticket on a two-show Wednesday when getting in line at 10am. I just wanted to confirm that this was the case for me, as well. After picking up my rush ticket at Come From Away for the evening show, I walked around the block and got in the box office line for Hello, Dolly! a little after 10:05am. Both me and a couple behind me were able to secure SRO tickets to the matinee. Granted, I got SRO 22 (one spot away from the edge of the padded bar on ho

Thanks so much for your replies, everyone.  All this information is immensely helpful.

I wanted to bump this topic, as I'm actually planning on coming into the City soon to do overnight rush (though, ironically, not totally by choice).  As I live out-of-state (and don't want to drive into/pay for a hotel in the City, especially just for a day-trip), I have to rely on the bus/train schedules, nearly all of which are non-ideal for getting rush tickets for a pop

In addition to what others have said above, know that you can use discount codes at the box office (i.e. in person). It's a good way to avoid fees, especially if you are in the City already. Moreover, there are some shows that will offer you discounted tickets only at the box office. Ticket locations and prices are at the discretion of the box office. I know Waitress does this with rear mezz seats, and Fun Home did it when it was still running at Circle in the Square.

Also, not sur

I can't speak to rush, but I did easily purchase a $30 balcony ticket for tonight's performance 2 minutes AFTER the play started (or, perhaps, more accurately, 2 minutes after the "pre-show" started). Per prior threads on this topic, the balcony is an ideal view of the stage, especially given the action that takes place in the box seats (and you don't miss any of the action). Also, the balcony ushers let latecomers sit anywhere in the side balcony except for the front ro

Ugh.  I audibly groaned when I saw this on Facebook yesterday.  Clearly, the marketing works, but it makes me frustrated how utterly misguided it is.

At least the producers used "Step into the Sun" explicitly on the DEH Instagram page...even if it was simply a reference to getting outside on Labor

Not sure how many others saw this announcement, but it made me incredibly happy.  I don't live close enough to NYC (nor do I have the funds) to see all the shows I want to see without a lot of pre-planning (and intentional savings).  I also have a lot of friends who would love to see more theatre but complain consistently about how expensive it is to see a show.

This is a great way to expose people to top-notch theatre, requiring nothing more of viewers than a workin

I was at the matinee yesterday (actually, two rows behind BroadwayBeebe), but I'm just getting the chance to express my views now.  Overall, I felt the production was good, but not great.  I understand (and am fine with) the fact that this was a concert presentation, but I think I've been spoiled by how polished other Encores! shows have been lately, even with the short rehearsal period (1776, It's a Bird..., Merrily We Roll Along, to name a few).  The con

Just as an FYI:  It seems like the Box Office has been holding pretty strictly to its "seating locations will be at the discretion of the box office" policy for rush.  While some on this board have apparently been successful at requesting mezzanine seats for rush (and even a couple of weeks ago the box office was kind enough to explain to me which rush seats remained and where they were), they were pretty nasty to me and others yesterday for even asking about seating
