How early do you all suggest to wait for onstage seating. I just got tickets for 8/25.

You can usually buy them a few days before the show date. They aren't sold out like Spring Awakening's onstage seats.

On a recent Friday night I had onstage seating and we got into the theater around 7:40 and sat dead center front row. It does help you get the front seats if you are 'enthusiastic' (but not overly so). Those who don't look like they are enjoying the show are very noticable and can be distracting to the audience.

If I bought an on-stage seat and I haven't seen the show before am I gonna miss anything? I know that's been said for first-timers at Spring Awakening but I wasn't sure...
and is there student rush for the show? I haven't seen anything about it yet, but I haven't been looking too hard :)

StephanietheStar - There are alot of visuals, sight-gags, faces made (especially by Calliope & Mellipone) that you'll miss. I think you shouldn't get on stage seats... not for the 1st time anyway. If you become a repeat offender, like me, then it's OK.

I had tickets for a Sunday, and we waited in line about 2 pm for a 3 pm curtain. We were the second group of people there, but first for onstage seats.

Stephanie ~ If you sit on one of the sides you'll see pretty much everything just fine. It's the ones in the center that you get the most backs. Ask to sit on the sides.

The side seats are fine. I've seen it from the front of the house and the stage on the side and can recall very little I missed from the side vantage point on stage.

I'm sitting onstage in a couple weeks and want to make sure I'm *NOT* the person she caresses (touch sensitive, very negative reaction). Anyone suggestions?

Broadway... at this time, you HAVE to buy on-stage in advance.
They havent been available the day of (except for possibly a Weds mat) for a few weeks now. I would buy them now, if at all possible.
As far as Mary... It is almost always the same seat that she goes for. Its in the back row, by the center.

Not to thread-jack, but really dont want to start another thread... new shirts will be available in a few weeks. Supposedly one in black, and one with rhinestones.
Also, the "Xanadu" jacket that is worn by Kira and Sonny at the end of the show should be available in a few months.
OBCR is still up in the air. Just of matter of when, but no set date yet.

I will be sitting onstage on the 14th of this month. I am excited. I will report back with my experience. It must be cool to sit onstage if there was a tech problem that stopped the show. Not that I'm hopping for one because that would be bad for the show in general.

I'm hoping to get back onstage on the 25th if my current plans hold out and tickets are still available--they were as of Wednesday and according to a previous poster. I got day-of onstage seats during previews but will definitely book a week or two in advance this time.
And is it just me or did JStarr's Fanadu thread disappear. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.

OMG - You're right - Jaystarr's "Xanadu" love thread is gone.
That's just wrong.

When I went, Mary caressed someone sitting near the middle of the...stage left center seating thingie, the place where she and Jackie eat popcorn.
If you're touch sensitive, you also might want to avoid the front seat on the right aisle of the stage right center seating thingie. After she caressed the person, she walked down the stairs, grabbed my arm, and made a "shhhh" face at me.
I actually adored that seat. I danced with her a bit at the end, too. I'm going back the 17th, and it'll be hard to convince myself not to take that same seat, I really loved it, but I really should try to get a different view. Hmmm...

hey fanadu's
I have a question and I know that they had stopped rush until further notice post opening b/c of reviews. etc. but does anyone know if they've started rush again (I searched and couldn't find anything besides old rush threads) OR if they haven't what are the chances of it being back up by Sept. 2 when I'm planning on going? thanks for your help!

They have not started "rush" again. The way the ticket sales have been, I doubt there will be a rush anytime soon.
