I was in the city for one day (12/20/17) on vacation from Florida and desperately wanted to take my 4-year-old son to see this so my husband and I both entered the lottery for the matinee and he won! The tickets were $30 each and they were phenomenal seats! Orchestra row O seats 120 and 118. Seriously amazing for lottery seats, I didn't have any expectations.
Also, the show is a blast. And there's a lot of talent in that cast. Seriously, don't write it off, it was a great time.
Yesss. I've never seen a production of it on any level, but the cast recording is one of my favorites. Absolutely gorgeous. Why hasn't this happened? Laura Benanti would be a dream, she has the voice and the comedic chops.
I have only gotten to stage door a handful of times and in general everyone is nice but by far my favorite experience was the School of Rock stage door a month ago. The kids were so self-assured and poised but kind and polite, we were very impressed. Becky Gulsvig was also extremely nice, I told her I saw her in the Legally Blonde tour years ago and she seemed genuinely happy that I remembered that and enjoyed her. But the best part was Alex Brightman who took his time with everyone there and
We actually did get to rush yesterday and I thought I'd come back and share my experience in case it helps anyone else.
We got to the theater at ten til 10, the box office opens at 10 Monday through Saturday. There were maybe 30ish people in line ahead of us. It moved quickly and we were offered the choice of sitting in two partial view seats together in the mezzanine or being separated, still in partial view but in the front of the orchestra. We chose the l
Haven't seen anything in a while about it, has anyone rushed it recently? I may be trying Sunday or Monday and would like to hear some experiences. Thanks!
I'm coming to see a few shows late October and I'm pretty sure I want to see School of Rock but no one else in my group does so I'll be splitting off either for Sunday matinee or Monday eve. I know there's never a guarantee, and things could change with availability of discount tickets by then but am I more likely to get seats at a good price by trying to rush or going to TKTS? Thanks for any insight!
I tried to use the search feature and it either wasn't working right or there hasn't been a post about this in two years so I wanted to get some updated insights and opinions. If it's better suited to the off-topic boards, let me know.
Where do you usually go for dinner or drinks on the nights you see shows? Do you like to eat before or after? And do you make a reservation or feel that they're needed? Thanks!
Seriously thank you SO much! My husband, sister, BIL and I spent an hour trying to get tix in the new block with no luck and then I saw your tip and snapped up row V of the orchestra for late October. I'm so stoked and grateful!
My friend and I live in FL and are actually thinking of flying up impulsively to try to do the cancellation line sometime in the next couple of weeks. I've been reading this thread and I know it seems to keep changing but I was wondering if anyone has noticed a trend with the best day of the week or time to try it. Like whether matinees are better or worse, etc. If we could do this we would only get one or two chances to try, period. Thanks. :)
