Hi everyone,
I would like to get rush tickets for Beautiful or Hedwig. I have never before done those. How do I go about doing that? I usually do tdf.org, but these shows are not on there.
I would love to get 2 tickets for this Sunday (7/13). I would appreciate any advice. I get there, then what? What time? How do I go about doing it if there are two shows on Sunday?
Thanks in advance.

Hedwig does not have a rush and from what I understand Beautiful does not set aside seats for rush, so if there's nothing left you're basically SOL.

Hedwig has standing room only tickets available 45 mins before each show, though the number of tickets available varies with each performance. Check their official site for showtimes. There are two performances on Saturdays and Sundays, upping your chances. But you need to be in line for standing room only tickets pretty early these days. Sometimes 7 or 8 a.m. I'm not exactly sure of the price, but it might be $29 per ticket.

Hedwig also has lottery tickets. If the show is at 8pm, lottery begins at 5:30 and you must have your name in the drawing before 6pm when the names are pulled. For Saturday shows the times are 7pm and 10pm. Begin putting your name in for the lottery at 4:30 and 7:30. Sunday shows are at 3pm and 7pm. Lottery begins at 12:30 and 4:30. All winners are pulled 2 hours before each show. You must be present to win!!!

There is also a cancellation line. But tickets are extremely rare. I'm not sure when these tickets are available. After the SRO line has gone? Definitely after the lottery drawings though.
