Looking to get tickets for Spring Awakening the week im in NY. Choices are center section rows N-P or left/right of center B 1-3/ B 2-4. Is row B ok or go with the center back seats?

I sat row P left side, but on the ailse near the center section. It was fine! Those B seats would be alomost first row. You might have to look UP somewhat. It also depends on how much of Groff's spit you want on you hehehe. Just kidding. P is not TOO far back for this show...I guess it depends on whether you are the type who likes to sit close...

Is the stage high for this show?

I think the stage is relatively low...no more than 3 feet or so...plus, I think they removed the first couple of rows to put in those steps in front of the stage (which are sometimes used in the show), so the first rows are a little farther back to start with...also, most of the action is pretty far up front..The way they have defined the playing area with the band in the back and the on-stage audience on either side, it's all pretty far forward and center.....

Thanks for your thoughts guys. I went with row H 1-3. Can't wait to see the show now.

How do you get the on-stage tickets?

In telecharge, when they ask you what kind of seats you want (orchestra, mezzanine, etc.), choose the last choice, "On Stage Seating". It's as simple as that. But a couple of caveats:

1. The onstage seats sell way ahead. As of a couple of days ago, they were sold out through mid-August.

2. But now, NO on-stage seats come up at all, through December!! I don't know what's up with that..if you are looking for those seats, you may want to call telecharge or something...it must be some kind of error...I don't think they are ALL sold!!
