Too close.
But not because she's 4, because it's just too close for that show.

Posted: 2/7/07 at 2:26pmI actually like being "too close" so it's whatever floats your boat. The Lunt is pretty small but the first few rows aren't as "close" as everyone makes it seem.

Posted: 2/7/07 at 5:51pmDepends on the show and preference. But really, sitting too close can obstruct your view (little heads floating about Upstage) or it can overwhelm you with the big picture. Sometimes the effects may be ruined for you because you'll easily see everything.

Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Posted: 2/7/07 at 6:07pmI've sat "close" plenty of times and don't recall seeing just "little heads."

I'm speaking generally.
ETA: Also, I said you may see them Upstage, aka, "the back of the stage" in lay terms. Granted, it doesn't happen at every show, it depends.
