It was a really busy day for rush. A bunch of people were trying to get tickets and the guy working was pretty rude. So I think he was just shoving us all in the same row and not caring.
Wow. That was nice of him!
I love sitting close up because I like to see facial expressions and things.
I love sitting front row, but you are right about that. It definitely makes me feel uncomfortable when I see a bunch of eyes on me watching my reactions. But at the same time, I think that's also a lot of fun. Because I think it's important for the actors to see how much you are enjoying (or not enjoying) the work they are doing. I think it gives them something to play off of.
That's one of the things I LOVED about Cabaret. When they were "warming up", you could interact with the actors. They would ask you questions and you could be smart with them. And flirty. The girls too! And they would make faces at you! Making them back was always a lot of fun. Oh how I miss that show....

I sat front row for Lennon, and I had a blast. The actors were really responsive, and it was really fun to play around with them a bit. Will shook my mom's hand. I'd like to do it again sometime, because it is a really special feeling to be able to... sort of be part of the show that way.
It really is amazing. Front row at Chitty is a lot of fun, except you can see exactly how the car works. And when it flies over my head I panic a little bit.
