I just installed There, by the following method (this was done on Kubuntu 14.04 and used Wine 1.7.23, but should work in any Debian Wheezy based Linux and with a broad range of Wine versions, and probably in other distros, as long as you have a current version of PlayOnLinux and an Xwindow type desktop, i.e. don't run directly at command line):
Create a new PlayOnLinux virtual drive (Configure, New, select 32-bit, select the version of Wine you just installed above, and give the new virtual drive a name that will let you keep track of what's in it, like There -- strongly recommended to keep each game in a separate "bottle").
Click on the new drive in the list in the Configure window; select "Install components".
Install the following:
d3dx9_36
Flash Player (recommended: check box to allow Adobe to update) (I didn't install Flash Player_ActiveX, and it seems to be working fine; if you have problems with game menus and dialogs, try the ActiveX version)
msxml3
wmp10
Open a terminal and issue the following commands (as regular user)
export WINEPREFIX=/home/Username/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/There
export WINEARCH=win32
winetricks ie7 (during install, uncheck "latest updates" and decline -- three times! -- a restart)
Close the terminal; we're done with it.
In PlayOnLinux Configure window, click Wine tab, then Windows Reboot button.
Open a file manager with root privilege (how to do this varies on different systems). Rename winemp3.acm to winemp3.acm.bak. Right click, copy l3codecp.acm, then right click on empty space in the folder and click "paste"; when prompted for another name, enter winemp3.acm.
Back in PlayOnLinux (still in the Configure window): click Miscellaneous tab, then "Run a .exe file in this virtual drive"; in the browse box, find your way to the downloaded "GetThere.exe", select it, and click Open. Wait for the installer to complete. If it crashes, try again; it crashed for me the first time I ran it on both installs today, and went through without a hitch on the second try.
When installer finishes, you'll be back at PlayOnLinux Configure window; click General, then "Make a new shortcut from this virtual drive"; in the box that comes up you should see There.exe, theretweaker.exe, and a number of other items (if those two aren't there, select "browse" and click Next, then click the Browse button, and browse into the virtual drive to find those two items, one at a time); select There.exe and Next, then theretweaker.exe and Next, then "I don't want to make another shortcut" and Next. You'll have three new icons on your desktop (you can delete the one that ends in .lnk; it's a Windows shortcut and Linux doesn't know how to use it).
Last thing is to correct the program call paramters in the There icon; this may differ if you're not running KDE, but shouldn't be completely unfamiliar in other desktops: right click, and select Properties, then Application tab. Click into the Command field and go all the way to the right, remove the %F and replace it with:
-U -l www.prod.there.com/status/min.html
Save the changes to the icon properties, and we're done. There should start normally and run correctly, including with music boxes. And this takes less than twenty minutes to do.

this is a screenshot of what I get when I close it.

Currently it's in very limited public testing before reopening (only 50 beta members at a time, purged roughly every 2 hours) and so far I only managed to get in once with it working properly in Wine and a couple times before that in VirtualBox.
Actually it's not fully working, the browser doesn't work right and I needed to do the email verification at first login through VirtualBox. The problem is that pages intended to be loaded in-game go through the IE file downloader instead of loading in the browser. Apart from the browser, it appears to work perfectly, at least in OGL rendering mode.
I won't post test results until it's officially reopened and I have more time and freedom to test. Right now if I get logged out, I'll probably be waiting a few hours before I can get back in.
Here's the needed launcher script, modify as necessary.
#!/bin/bash
cd "~/.wine/drive_c/Makena/There/ThereClient"
env WINEPREFIX="~/.wine"
wine "C:\Makena\There\ThereClient\There.exe" -U -l www.prod.there.com/status/min.html

The direct path in quotes is what I prefer, but you could also use ~ without quotes and any spaces escaped.
#!/bin/bash
cd "/home/[USER]/.wine/drive_c/Makena/There/ThereClient"
wine "C:\Makena\There\ThereClient\There.exe" -U -l www.prod.there.com/status/min.html
