I rushed this today. I got to the box office around 1:20pm, just after the matinee began, to get tickets for the evening show at 6:30 pm. They offered me ORCH T101 for $75 or MEZZ B1 for $30, so I took the Mezz seat. Really fun show, and the view from that seat was incredible! You really are able to enjoy the scale from the front mezz.
Last Saturday (1/20), I stopped by the box office at 1:30ish to see if they had rush tickets for the evening performance. At that time, people were entering the theater for the matinee and the box office almost sold me a rush seat for that matinee. I was able to get two balcony seats for the evening performance.
So basically what I'm saying is that there were rush seats right before the show started
I won the lottery today. Got ORCH D105, a few seats off the center aisle!
Amazing to see everything up close. There's crowd interaction and smaller jokes that I didn't get from previous visits. Also saw the details of Ethan Slater and Gavin Lee's performances from that view. They're giving everything at every moment. I still can't believe Slater's pulling off such a physical, demanding performance each night. (Stage-doorers: he's on vocal rest but still graciously signed. Be kind!)
Lots of empty seats tonight - please see the show if you can.
Not sure when it changed, but lottery tickets are now $42. I'm assuming Broadway Direct has added a $2 fee to lottery wins? (e.g. Wicked is now $37 and Lion King is $32)
Has anyone tried rushing in person lately? It seems that the show hasnt been selling out that often. So curious how close people have been able to get rush tickets to curtain time.

I got tickets an hour before the show, when I got in line, these 2 people cut in line in front of me, then I realized they were Ja-lin (sp?) and Stephanie Hsu, so I was pleased to let them do it
anyway we don't live in the city so we got $75 rush tickets that were center 8th row, perfect seats, except ethan slater was out that night
Hoping to rush this Saturday. $75 seems a lot for rush but would be willing to pay it rather than sit up in the balcony. I've seen some people say they got front mezz from rush so wondering how it's been recently. The seating map looks wide open!
Hey All, Just an FYI, just GO! We've been twice with regular purchase and rushed and still got orch seats! Further back is great (especially for the finale) but being close you really do appreciate and LUV! what the cast is doing! Ethan is so good and so funny, (right down to the little wave of his hands and fingers as he swims across the stage); Gavin too, is great. These two guys better win the Tonys! Go and sit anywhere! You will have a (beach)ball!
Side question, but I'm going to do TDF for either this Friday night or Sunday night. I'd rather do Sunday night as many more shows are available on Friday night.
Which do you think willhave the best seats on TDF and do any actors traditionally and/or frequently take Sunday nights off?
