""I knew nothing about the show prior to The Tony Awards…"
How?"
No idea, somehow it slipped under my radar. Well, to be fair, I knew that more than one actress was playing the same character at different points in her life. I believe I also read that one of the Spring Awakening actresses was briefly involved, other than that, I guess I just wasn't paying much attention.
I am also big on YA lit, and managed to miss the book too. That is likely because I get distracted when attempting to read graphic novels.

I do think AAiP is sort of underrated because I think the staging and choreography are works of art and do much in the storytelling department. That said, Fun Home is the best that American theatre has to offer in terms of intelligence and artistry. This victory, for me, is what it would have felt like had Matilda (not American, I know) or Caroline, or Change had won Best Musical.

I would hardly call making over $1 million a week underrated. They are plenty appreciated for their stage work and artistry.
There are no bad seats, since the show is in the round. You may be warned to keep your feet and bags back as you will be practically on stage.
Didn’t see this posted yet (sorry if I missed it) – doesn’t give a ton of info, but thought it was interesting, nonetheless. Happy to read that their ticket sales quadrupled the past 2 days, as well!:
ETA: Just saw there was some discussion of this article in the "Ring of Keys" thread.

Casting Directors and Agents will be hearing "Ring of Keys" and "Changing My Major" ad nauseum!

I meant underrated by this board.
"Days and Days" is my new uptempo. I do it Conga style, like Gloria Estefan.

There are no bad seats for this production in Circle in the Square.
I sat in F 145 (5 rows up from A and across the aisle from the section you are in) and that seat was great. Since this is in the round, they reposition scenes to allow ALL patrons to have parts of the action facing you. When they arent facing you, there is no loss of participation in the show.
It really is amazing how they staged this production in this space. I think it is better suited to in the round rather than a standard proscenium stage (even though the Public was a proscenium but a small intimate theater nontheless).
