Shakespeare in Central Park

http://www.publictheater.org/sicp/home.cfm

Has anyone gone?

How long does one usually need to wait in line, at the theater box office? How about at the Public Theater (near Astor Place)?
How early would you need to arrive?
How quickly do they "sell out" (tix are free, but on a first-come, first-served basis) ?

it's free and usually there are celebrity performers

when I saw A Midsummer Night Dream 3 years ago, Julia Stiles and Christopher Lloyd were performing
