so guys if we go see this in feb, is it best to go direct for on stage seating, or should we sit in normal seats. also what happens with on stage do u sit where u like (group of 3 and want to sit together)
Yeah, stage seats are really fun, however here are a few tips:
Arrive an hour early to line up so you can get a choice position.
Don't freak when the control freak usherette makes you jump through an extensive array of undignified hoops in order to prover your meddle to qualify for a position on stage. Just smile benignly and go through the motions. The usherette who does the actual seating on stage is actually quite lovely and won't put you through any more paces.
Wear something fun, but not wildly distracting.
When Cheyenne enters, goes down on all fours and begins his chalk drawing, AVOID ALL TEMPTATION TO GRAB HIS ASS!
It's a half circle so the actors are in front, behind and sometimes right next to you. It's definitely a fun experience. Once you sit there, you never want to sit anywhere else. Also, you can look at Cheyenne's tookus for as long as you want... lol But don't tell him I said that... ;o)

OMG! I wonder if you are talking about me??? Haha! I forget which time it was or when but I was sitting stage right in front, and I felt really sick. I didn't think it showed, though...
this one was very obvious...back row of onstage seats, second set stage right. She was with a friend and the ushers were trying to get her to move closer to the edge of stage left so she could make a quick exit if she had to barf. This was the evening show, August 25.
Ok, that wasn't me... Whew! I ddn't think anyone could tell, and I had taken my nausea meds so there was little chance I'd actually puke, but I sure did feel like it! How gross would it be if someone did puke right there in ront of everyone?!
Don't pee your dress either... lol BTW... "control freak usherette"? Who are you talking about Gladys? There is NO ONE at that theatre that is like that. Everyone is warm and makes the experience even more enjoyable. Please don't call people names... it's not very muse-like... ;o)

If you have seen it before, definitely sit on the stage. But if you haven't, you might want to sit with the rest of the audience because there were times when I couldn't see the actors expressions and didn't see some funny things. Otherwise, awesome experience.
Thinking of grabbing Cheyeene from the audience is really turning me on. I wish I had seen this instead of "YF"... (Not that I didn't like that, too...)
I've seen it three times. The first time, I rushed and got 1st row, center mezz, it was awsome. the second time was on stage in the 1st of 2 rows in the center, and the third time was like, row G THE LAST SEAT on house right. In my opinion, you need to see the show first from the audience, then see it onstage. On stage was a BLAST. But, it's a completely different show from onstage. The side seat was ****. Don't ever sit there.
My mother is seeing the show and I want her to be sitting in a damn good seat. But all the ORCH seats left are the far house right and house left seats like 14 and stuff.
