yea i got the cheapest seat. it is last row center of the third Mezz. level but it is FULL VIEW. $154 is not bad for seeing the people who is the reason happiness is in the Dictionary.

AWESOME! GOOD FOR YOU!!! I'm tickled with envy. It's not a bad view from the Rear Mezz (if you've never been before) Radio City is much wider and yawning than you'd think, and I'm sure The Tonys knows how to put on a good show, even for those people in the back of the house.

In the event you get sick or incapacitated, feel free to think of me if you're looking for someone to use your ticket that evening!

Congrats, hope you enjoy!

I'd keep one eye open while you sleep until the night after the Tony's - especially for the likes of Eugloven. :]

You will have a fun time. I went in 2006. If you haven't been, you should dress up. And don't lose your program because you only get one!

This year will be my third time going, and I cannot be more excited, cuz of Passing Strange, and Stephen finally getting his Lifetime Achievement Award.

Oh happy day!!

In 1997 I sat in the First Row Front Mezz at Radio City for the Tony's. It was like watching ants with a big craning camera in the way.

I sat in the center left (?) section of the 1st mezz. The crane did not obstruct our view at all. We were 5 rows up.

And make sure to get downstairs quickly, it is fun walking out with all of the people in the Orchestra section! I walked out next to Frank Langella and Hal Holbrook. And behind Brian F. O'Byrne and Neil Patrick Harris and his partner. Other performers were all around us and we walked down the red carpet. It was fun. I was in a tux and someone thought I was with The Color Purple. It was too funny.

So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

I went last year and it was such an amazing experience. My dad took me for my 21st birthday and we sat mid orchestra. It was SO amazing.

Have fun! Going to the show is a dream of mine.

For now I will just have to spend the evening on here chatting with everyone else who doesn't get to go.
