Get directions to the box office →$49 standing-room only
Sold at the box office the day of the performance only when the show is sold out. Standing positions at the back of the orchestra.
Standing-room is the longest-odds tactic — sold only when the house is full at curtain. Plan a backup.
The realistic playbook
- Enter the lottery first. Lowest price, zero effort. Set a daily reminder; the entry windows are unforgiving.
- Line up early for rush on a non-lottery day. Weekday performances are the friendliest.
- Standing room as last resort when the show is sold out — only available the day of, at the box office.
- If all else fails, compare the resale market on the main Six the Musical page — sometimes resale dips below face for less-popular performances.
