I rushed it Saturday Night. I got there at 630pm for an 8pm show. I got a single seat in the last row of the Orchestra. I was all the way on house left right by the exit doors. I could see everything perfectly. Nothing obstructed other than having to bend down during the helicopter scene to see everything.
I went Saturday morning and the line was long! It was freezing too so that surprised me. I got there at 9:15am and was easily 20th-25th in line. I wanted evening tickets and managed to get evening. Sat row J wayyy to the right (marked partial view). All my line buddies were either one row in front of me or behind me (all partial view.) Hope this helps!

Sounds like from others, the obstructions aren't too bad from there. Was that your experience as well?
My roommate and I did rush yesterday during the snow. We got there around 3:30 pm and got F 16 and F 18, far house left. I enjoyed the show so much (I fell in love with the show after seeing it as a high schooler about 10 years ago, and this was the first time I've seen a professional production!) but I really wish I was further back and more in the center. I may splurge on regular tickets, probably for the front mezzanine, because even though I don't feel I missed any really important moments, I had trouble seeing about half of the upstage area, and anything happening stage right. There are so many huge scenes that really use the whole stage, and I felt I missed that experience from my seat. Still, with a show with this much emotion and passion, I appreciated being closer to the actors.

not bad at all. I was far right so I didn't see the bed scene of Kim and Chris. Other parts I saw with no issues. i agree the best seat is front mezz but for he price I paid to be able to see facial expressions and tears from the actors, I was happy. The next cheapest seats after rush was $55 at rear mezz.
Would love to know too! Plan on rushing Sat eve show after seeing our reschedule free preview of Groundhog day. Hoping we can get rush tickets for 8pm as late as 11amish when we get into the city.
Was there last Saturday looking for 8pm show and all rush tickets were sold out by 11am. We ended up getting a nosebleed last row of the theater seat for $67 each. Damn that theater is cavernous.

" Two Wednesday's ago (the week of high school spring break) I walked up and got a ticket at 6pm for the 8pm show. I think if you plan on doing it as the Box Office opens you should be okay!
Does anyone have any information regarding rushing on a Monday? Is it harder to get rush tickets on a day when a lot of other shows are dark? It's looks like I might be going to NYC in late May, wondering if I should even try to rush on a Monday. Thank you!
Rushed on Saturday for the evening performance. Got there at 7:15ish and was first in line. Second in line came right after. Got 4th row orchestra seats far house left. The stage is very tall, so it was obstructed view, couldn't see the back 1/3 of the stage I would say. Still great seats though!!
My bus is getting in from Boston around noon this Saturday (if it's on time). Is getting to the theater between 12 and 12:30 too late to get a rush ticket for the matinee? I can get a seat through TodayTix, but it's $30 more that route, so I'd rather rush if possible! Thanks for the help.

I rushed this today (Monday). I didn't get to the box office until 10:30 am. There was no line. I walked right up. Was offered Row A mezzanine house right. Amazing seats for $40. You should definitely try rushing it during your visit.
I rushed this show last Saturday after rushing another show. I don't know how many people were in front of me, but I think I arrived 10:15ish.
I was still able to get a rush ticket, which was orchestra far left row B. I must say it was heavily partial view for some scenes. My view was particularly obstructed towards the end of the show. I could not see almost anything from the last song till the end. I am not sure if I could have been seated a few rows back if I had rushed earlier. Actors were very close, but I wouldn't sit here again.
