Hi Mike, he is pretty active on Twitter (https://twitter.com/jeremyoharris) and seems approachable, often cheeky. My impression is that he spends a lot of time interacting with people and the audience about his work. To me, he comes across as someone who's very aware of his platform and willing to put it to good use.

Is there now any info about the box office rush hour on the day off? Online sales sites indicate many free seats for tomorrow, e.g., but was wondering if anyone tried to rush this at the theater itself yet and has a data point on the length of the lines.

you can always have a look at stubhub.com. just twenty minutes ago, there were some tickets there for today for $100 (plus fees). you have to be close to the theater and to a printer, but that probably is your best chance, if you do not win the lottery.
