probably Norman- he has more experience in the role. I saw Dan last week, he's wonderful- they all bring COMPLETELY different personas to the stage and all have such fun with it, so the closing show is in good hands either way...
ummm I'd say front mezz. if you can get it, but you definetely get the entire effect from anywhere in the theater, so don't worry about that. Just get the best seats you can so see the actors I think... and enjoy!
