“PONYBOY SEAT” SAME-DAY RUSH TICKET

It’s called the “Ponyboy Seat” because the actor playing Ponyboy uses this seat for the opening number of the show, which lasts for about seven minutes. When Ponyboy vacates the seat to join the show on stage, the patron who has purchased this location will be escorted to the seat by an usher. The patron will be able to watch the opening number from a different location in the theatre.
