The only thing accurate about the Matilda rush line is first person in like by 6am. It’s basically a carbon copy of the Once line, but with less tickets available.
This is fantastic! between this and the show schedule, you’ve simplified our trip to NYC next week by 100x! thanks!
Happy to help!
I wish it stated when the FIRST person got in line. I don’t need to be first ever unless it’s for Matilda where the number of tickets wavers, but I would like to show up before the 30 other people show up.
Um, it does.
lol
