Spring Awakening On-Stage Seating Stories

Hopefully I'm going to see Spring Awakening again in August, and I want to get autographs at the stage door. Last time I went was a monsoon so I couldn't stand outside, but I was wondering if the cast usually comes out after the 2 o'clock performance.

I also want to sit on-stage and was wondering what seats that Gideon sits next to (I know there is another post about this but I figured I'd just confirm.)

Anyone have any good on-stage seating stories?

I was in BB12, and I'm pretty sure Gideon sat next to me at least once. ^_^

Obsessed, much?

thanks for the information Weez
gymndudeva-if you study the seats and find anything out that would be awesome!

Findyourgrail- uncalled for, much?

Sounds like someone is getting a little defensive. It's part of the whole onstage experience. The Spring Awakening Myspace even has a chart that labels seats as "cast," "ensemble," and "audience."

And, come on, if you had a chance to sit next to one of your favorite actors, would you? How is that creepy? Unless your intending to harass someone, just buying tickets next to a specific actor isn't creepy.

It's those crazy Wicked fans who go to the Gershwin stage door dressed as Elphaba or Glinda that's creepy.

No one answered ActualReal's earlier question and I was wondering the same thing, does the cast usually come out after the matinée performance?

oh thats cool! i wanna sit on stage. it would be amazing. hopefully i can this summer

"Hmmm stories...well, Skylar stomped on my leg one night. He stomped on the empty chair next to me during "Totally F*CKed" and I guess my thigh was over there a little, and he hit it off-center and caught my leg. It didn't hurt. Afterwards I caught him outside the stage door and acted mad and said "You stomped on my leg!" He was like Oh I am so sorry, and I just said I was kidding, and we chatted a little."

Lol, he did the same thing to me.


ActualReality2: I would love to sit next to Gideon also, I always sit one row in front of his though...
but sometimes I look up and he smiles at me

Great!

wow im suprised lilli responded. when i saw the show she walked by everyone after. a little divaish.

Lilli is a teenager, I doubt she would be "diva-ish".

When he jumped backwards off the chair, I thought he was about to stumble right into me, I actually flinched. Must have been funny to see haha.

I have been meaning to post this story for a while.

Back in January my friend was nice enough to wait in the cold and get rush tickets. I was so pumped to be sitting in the front row. While waiting for the show to begin we chatted with the usher. 8:00 comes around and the show is sold out accept for 7ish on-stage seats. jokingly we asked the usher if we could have them, five minutes later we did! but thats not the end. As we rushed to put our stuff in the lockers and got on-stage the group of 7ish girls walked in. we were so sad but it was ok because we were still front row. but thats not the end again, ha. so now its 8:05 and the show hasnt started. As we sat back down in our seats four people sitting next to Gerard were asked to leave the theatre. We had no idea why but we were excited to get thier seats. There was four of us and we got thier seats! amazing!

The next time I saw the show, after the stage door I noticed the very nice Kimberly Grigsby there and I asked if she rembered that night, because she had talked to us a little after the intermission. She did remeber and she said the man sitting in front of Gerard was a little high tempered. Before the show had started Gerard had coughed the man in front of was not very happy about it. The man swore at Gerard and Gerard left and told the stage manager he didnt feel comfortable sitting with that group of people. Ms. Grigsby said that was the most outragous thing to happen onstage so far.
