Xanadu on Stage Seating

Does anyone know if you can request to have a specific seat on stage (ie getting to eat popcorn with Mary and Jackie)?

---

Just get there early.

Yeah just get there early and they'll try to accommodate requests. Keep in mind though they reserve the right to move you if necessary. For example, I requested a popcorn seat when I went, but it was a two-seater. They said I could sit there, but to be prepared to move if they needed to sit two people together. Luckily they found someone to take the single seat - thanks J!

The popcorn seats are nice because you get popcorn from Mary! But the side seats might offer you a slightly better onstage view.

I've sat on the sides and in the popcorn seats (they all say like 1, 2, etc.), and I definitely enjoyed the side seats more. Seemed like you could a) see more of the whole show, b) have some fun little exchanges with some of the cast as they go off and during the show, and c) the popcorn was pretty stale anyway.

I love it. :) They do put the fear of the gods into you about electroincs being OFF, and that you absolutely positively cannot go to the bathroom once you're up there, but I loved it. You can watch other people come in (and celeb spot if they're in the audience...Whoopi was once when I saw it from on stage). I really never thought about it being scary. :)

Oh...just don't put your glowstick on the speakers. I think they tell you about that now, but... I was in the front of the side section once with two friends and we'd put them there (this was before them telling you not to...and probably the reason they do now). Curtis was on for Cheyenne, and he rammed into the wall, knocking all three of them off. Thankfully only one broke, but our faces registered utter shock that it happened for a few seconds. And all the actors knew SOMEthing had happened. It was funny in retrospect. But at the time... A great memory!!

Can you pre-purchase on stage seats or do you have to go to the box office the day of the show you want to see?

Eria ~ me too. It was just funny they were SOOO ""Now, you cannot leave the stage once you're up there..." I finally looked at the woman and said "I'm a teacher." (There can be LONG periods of time where you can't go doing that.) She said "Oh, enough said!" and led me right up on stage.

I think I'll do on stage seating for this Wednesday, since it's going to be one of the "Boys Night at Xanadu"...is that what they call an oxymoran? I'm excited about seeing the guy who is playing Sonny while Cheyenne is playing baseball.

---

That's pretty cool. My sister went to a school for children with special needs here in NJ. So I can really imagine what a day is like for you.

---

Gator, you'll love Curtis as Sonny. Completely different take on the role than Cheyenne (although I prefer Chey).

whoops! I just found out that the boys night is not until 7/16...just FYI. Didn't want to be putting out inaccurate info.

I don't know about a Saturday matinee, but I always try to be there early for an evening show. As close after 6 as I can make it. It may be a bit excessive, but I just take a book and read.
