If people can afford it, what's the harm? As long as they're not stalking the cast members...

^ there are people stalking the cast members though.

I saw the show this past Monday from a rush seat and loved it this time. I didn't hear any uncontrolable loud sobbing during the show until I Am The One(reprise) was done 2 foot in front of my face. Then me and who I went with sobbed...LOL. As most of the audience.

That's why I said it. If you're seeing repeatedly just because you love the show, more power to you. If you're seeing it to stalk the cast, that's creepy. "You" meaning general you. I've seen it twice and am seeing it two more times in September.

I saw it twice now also and plan on seeing it some more times. I want to see Aaron since I never saw him in the role. I love Kyle Dean but don't have anyone to compare him too.

I'd give anything to go back and see the show again. Unfortunately I might have to wait for the tour, which is SO far from now. This is easily the most powerful show I've ever seen.

^ same here, moowithme. It's in my top 5 best theater-going experiences ever (which are in no order). I'd love to see it again in NY but I think I'm going to have to wait for the tour also since my last NY trip put me so far in the hole I'm having trouble seeing daylight...lol

Hey all!

I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times but I'm seeing Next to Normal today with partial view (P 116) and was wondering if the view is going to be terrible. Sure, ill find out for myself in an hour but..I'd rather be warned. :)

Thank you!

Remember it is only a mini tour....it will not be hitting all markets.

I'll be seeing it my 4th time in a few weeks and would LIKE to catch it again once Aaron returns, but I might just wait to see him in CMIYC.

I could care less how often another person sees any show. I just want to be able to carry on a conversation.

I typically don't see a show more than once. But I saw this show off-Broadway, and am curious to see how it's changed. Plus, that was over a year ago! And then of course, I'd like to see it once more after Aaron Tveit returns. Then...that will be it for me, although I do really like the show.

But I agree with other posters...if a person can afford to see a show multiple times, who are we to judge? It's keeping the show running and Broadway alive and well...so hey...if you want to see a show 230942309853 times...go for it! It's not my thing, but for some people it's their thing!

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with where to sit for this show - I can get row C or row K orchestra in the middle section. I normally like to sit close to the stage but am worried that with the stage as it is you might have to strain your neck to see the top level in Row C? Which would people go for?

[wnt91311]

Posted: 7/30/09 at 5:45pm

I'd go row C just to see facial expressions. I think it's actually the 5th row back (because isn't there AA and BB?) so the only thing you'd really have to strain your neck for is the third level that gets very little action throughout the show.

"Remember it is only a mini tour....it will not be hitting all markets"

^ true, but it will be coming to Chicago (or I'm pretty sure that's been confirmed), so I'm in luck :) hehe

not much happens up high. row c is worth it to see the facial expressions like wnt said. and yes row c is actually row 5.

Hey yall,
So I am thinking of seeing N2N now and I want your advice. What should I pick between:

CENTER BB 109-11

and

LEFT ORCHESTRA ROW B 1-5 ?

The criteria I am looking for is like leg room... there is nothing worse than ****ty leg room. How do these differ/fare?

My scale/preference is that ****ty leg room was Nederlander, Richard Rodgers. So In comparison to that perhaps?

I am thinking that center would be better for the show overall esp. expressions, etc. but please do share your thoughts!

Got a $36.50 Row Q orch ticket at 6:30.
Alice out so I guess many people returned tickets, we moved to the 8th row center at intermission.

Jessica was outstanding. On par with Alice, if not better. Yeah, I said it. I enjoyed her performance immensely.

Give her a chance!

I can't believe i'm seeing this show in less than a fortnight!!! It's possibly what I'm most excited about in our whole 9 day trip!

Does anyone have suggestions as to what the best way to get tickets is? Cheapest is also very helpful!:)

Does anyone know where I can download some of the songs from when the show was Feeling Electric? I'd really like to hear some of them, and put them on my iPod.

[adamgreer]

Posted: 8/3/09 at 2:43am

Legally? Nowhere.

If you go to that site and search Feelin' Electric, you'll hear a lot of the demos.

[dramamama611]

Posted: 8/3/09 at 4:47am

Feeling electric was never "officially" recorded...so anything you find will be a bootleg...therefore illegally obtained.

But I'm sure it exists.

There are rumors going around about a certain fan not being allowed to purchase tickets anymore, because a cast member said she is too much of a disturbance.

[dramamama611]

Posted: 8/5/09 at 4:06pm

Wow....they could really only enforce that AT the box office though...no? But outrageous...never heard that one before!

[Elphaba3]

Posted: 8/5/09 at 5:15pm

Yeah, how would they enforce it?

[tking001]

Posted: 8/5/09 at 5:18pm

How would they enforce this?
& how do they know it was the same person
Can't he or she still buy them online?

[legally_popular]

Posted: 8/5/09 at 5:27pm

Yeah, I'm wondering that too. If the box office people know her name and what she looks like then they could refuse to sell to her I guess. I don't know how they could stop her from buying online, unless like the ticket scanner people know who she is and don't let her in when she actually goes.

[dramamama611]

Posted: 8/5/09 at 5:30pm

AT the box office it's not that difficult...there are only a few people that work it....I'm sure they already know her (and a bunch of people here do too -- I'm assuming) As long as she is informed that she is no longer welcome, I would also suspect that they would NOT have to let her enter even if she does purchase tickets.
