Rush Strategy for Schmigadoon
Rushing Schmigadoon is a moderately competitive rush where showing up a couple of hours before the box office usually pays off. Across 66 community reports, the median reported arrival time is 8:24 AM. Arrive by 9:40 AM for a good chance at tickets. At box office open, reporters have counted a median of about 12 people already in line, so aim to beat that. Reported success rates are high (around 100% of confirmed reports walked away with tickets), which suggests supply has mostly kept up with the line. Wednesdays have drawn the most reports, so expect heavier competition then; midweek tends to be easier. Rush tickets run $40 at the Nederlander Theatre. Rush timing: box office open (10 am weekdays/sat, 12 pm sun). All figures are community-reported, not official box office policy.
