AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE -- Standing Room Line Question

I will be making a trip to New York for 9 days from June 18 through 26.  I hope to see An Enemy of the People via the standing room line, probably on Wed., June 19.   Does anyone know how many SR tickets are available for each performance?  What time do people start lining up?  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

I can’t answer most of your questions, but I did recently stand. Walked up to the theater at around 6:10pm for a 7pm show and got the last standing room ticket of the night. I wasn’t exactly counting but there seemed to be at least 10 spots on our side of the theater so would assume 10 on the other side as well. They do give standing room spots to lottery winners but not sure on the amount. I will say I thought standing room was perfect for this show. Theres no bad view in that theater

Thanks for responding.  I've done standing room at Circle in the Square 3 times over the years -- for Metamorphoses in 2003, for Fun Home in 2015, and for Oklahoma! in 2019.  My recollection is that there were 24 standing spots when I saw Oklahoma! 5 years ago.  There were so many walkouts during Act One, everyone was re-seated in various open seats for the 2nd act.  I ended up sitting in the first row, but missed out on the chili.

I showed up to the box office one Sunday afternoon in April at 12:30 and was able to get a 3rd row center rush seat so you may want to try that before asking for standing room.

I went to the BO this Sunday about 20 min before it opened. I was about 6th in line, with a few people behind me. They only had one pair of SRO available.

Are they still trying to seat all the SRO people just before the show and if so, are they able to seat every standee?

BTW can the 2 Enemy of the People SRO  threads be merged?
