Below is a chart showing a list of discounted tickets via lottery and rush for each current (as of May, 2023) Broadway show, presented in the tradition of the useful (but sadly no longer updated) website Broadway for Broke People. The practice of discounted rush tickets (where you line up, usually on the morning of the performance) began with the musical “Rent” in 1997, when theater lovers often camped out in front of the theater overnight, for a chance at $20 tickets in the first two rows, at a time when regular ticket prices for Broadway shows had already begun their steep ascent to prohibitively expensive. Now most rush tickets cost at least twice as much — even, outrageously, for the shows at the non-profit Broadway theaters. (The exceptions: Hamilton and Prima Facie, where lottery winners pay just $10.) Now most (but not all) of the opportunities for rush and lottery tickets are digital (via website or app.) There is also the in-person line at TKTS, where tickets on the day of the performance are generally half off. (But that’s still twice as much as most of the individual shows’ rush and lottery tickets.)

For each show in the chart below, I link the show’s title to its website, and I include a link to my review at the time of opening or other relevant post, as well as a link to the details of the show’s discount offerings.
