Xanadu (Seating and Tix question)

I can only answer the glowstick question for you because I didnt sit on-stage but rather 3rd row in the orch. They hand you a glowstick before the show, instruct you not to use it unitl the end, and about halfway through the last song "Xanadu" everyone cracked them and waved them around. People on stage were up on their feet, some dancing, some singing alone, some swaying, others just standing.

Also, from what I could tell. The two end sections of on-stage seats are side-view, but there isnt a lot of cast interaction. If you're hoping for cast interaction, like cast members touching you, sitting next to you, I would sit in the two middle upstage sections (rear-view) in the front rows closest to the center aisle. A lot of cast members enter and exit through there. Again, the amount of cast interaction may differ from show to show but I did see Mary Testa rub some man's shoulders, another man's hair, etc. If you go to the show site, xanaduonbroadway, they have a new feature under the column 'xanadube' about stage design and you can see exactly how the onstage seats work and little fake people sitting in the seats.

A lot of people on here have mentioned that if it's your first time it's best to see it from the front, which I did and loved. I would probably save on stage seats if you see the show for a second time, but it's up to you. Also, I would get there early. I got there at 1:35 for a 2:00 show, and when I sat in my seat I could already see people seated on stage.
