Just sat in the front row today...tried lotto for the first time and (obviously) won, although it was very crowded this morning. As I waited for the show to begin I was already getting a little worried about my neck, but I guess that was just from having nothing else to do--once the show started, it was fine. Hell, more than fine...this was my first time seeing Rent in a year, and being so close to everything and everyone reminded me why I loved this show to begin with. Seasons of Love is especially beautiful from the first and second rows--it's eye contact-a-go-go. If you can try the lotto, do it. Hopefully you'll get lucky, and if you do I really don't think you'll regret the experience of sitting in those seats. Just enjoy the ride.
