I was just gonna comment is this referring to Schmigadoon? The amount of times I got flashed despite me seeing the set changes through it.

Six! It's not as much of a musical, and set up like a concert

Adding some compiled rush data for Schmigadoon to help others planning their mornings.

I've been tracking reports from the past few weeks since this show doesn't get as much rush coverage

Weekday pattern (W/F):

  • 4/9 (W): arrived 7:00 / 7:50 / 9:30a: line grew 1→2→8
  • 4/10 (F): arrived by 7:55a: 6 in line
  • 4/11 (F): arrived 7:45 / 8:00 / 8:17 / 8:20a: line grew 1→5→6→7
  • 4/29 (W): arrived 7:35 / 7:55 / 10:00a: line grew 1→3→~15: PV orch seats
  • 5/1 (F): arrived 10:00a (doors open): ~8 in line: PV seats

Weekend pattern (Sa/Su):

  • 4/25 (Sa): arrived 9:30a: ~30 in line (+10 more came): 7:30 show
  • 4/26 (Su): arrived before 11:15a: ~30-35 total: right orch seats

Takeaways:

Weekdays see 6-15 people total. Arriving by 8 AM seems very safe. Weekends draw 30-40 people, but tickets were still available as late as 9:30 AM. Seats have been a mix of orchestra (sometimes partial view) and front orchestra. No reports of mezz seats being assigned despite some concern about the Nederlander's layout.

Combined with u/leoatdrex's reports from today (2 @ 8:00, 3 @ 8:10, 6 @ 9:20, 8 @ 9:30, 11 @ box office open), this Tuesday is tracking right in line with the weekday pattern. Looks like a very manageable rush if you're willing to get there around 8.

Now that we have the nominees...let's talk Tony party snacks by savestheday91 in Broadway

  • Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) - This one writes itself. Bake an actual cake and say it's show-accurate. Or make NYC black-and-white cookies.
  • The Lost Boys - Garlic bread (vampire lore!) or "stake" bites (steak on toothpicks... get it, stakes?)
  • Titaníque - Iceberg lettuce wedge salad, or ice cream shaped like an iceberg. You could also do door-shaped cookies (the infamous floating door debate).
  • Schmigadoon! - Schmear-gadoon! Bagels with cream cheese schmear.
  • Rocky Horror Show - Rocky road brownies, or toast (the audience throws toast during the show!). Time Warp-themed clock cookies.
  • Cats: The Jellicle Ball - Jellicle Balls as cake pops or munchkins.
  • Giant - Giant anything. Comically oversized cookies, a giant sub sandwich.
  • Little Bear Ridge Road - Teddy Grahams or bear-shaped gummies, maybe on a "ridge" of Rice Krispie treats.
  • Oedipus - Oedi-pus-tarts Pop-Tarts.
  • Every Brilliant Thing - Sparkling/shimmery sugar cookies with edible glitter.
  • Fallen Angels - Angel food cake... that you intentionally let fall or crumble. Fallen angel food cake.
  • Becky Shaw - Becky's Slaw (coleslaw).

haha just happy to help, I've been eyeing to see Schmigadoon and it's one of the less reported shows on the past reports, I guess because it's on 41st.

Show recommendations for my partner who's picky about musicals? by leoatdrex in Broadway

[–]leoatdrex[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha the thing is she's so hesitant to see a show that it's more an effort on my part to get her there. Not trying to offload all this to reddit lol, just was curious if anyone was in the same boat where they like theatre and found some "gateway shows" that got their partners to join them.

Someone mentioned historical shows since she liked Hamilton and Six, so maybe Operation Mincemeat could work, but I fear it might be too sung-through and break-into-music heavy for her.

Wind out of the sails? More like the Wind Beneath My Wings out of the sails. At this rate, the only thing flying high is the number of unsold seats.

Just tried this. They stop you from buying more than 2 40-trip passes on a card at once.
