05:13 pm EST 01/09/08 | | Row: | BB | | Seat number: | 2 | | Location: | On Stage | | Location Front/Rear: | Front of section | | Show you saw: | Spring Awakening | | Date you attended: | January 6th, 2007 | | Siteline Rating: | | | Sightline description: | I was onstage so naturally I didn't miss any of the show. I was the farthest seat downstage (closest to the audience) so I caught all of the faces and 95% of the words. There were some that got a bit jumbled with the band and all but overall for the money ($40) it was a great deal and an AMAZING experience. | | Seating comfort: | | | Seating description: | There's not much legroom, which you can't really blame them for when you're onstage. You can't take up too much of their playing space. But the chairs are wooden, which wouldn't be a big deal if the backs of them didn't have bars running horizontally (against the spine) as opposed to verticaly. | | Rush Policy Experience: | I got in line around 11:20 AM when the box office opened at 12 PM. When I got into the theatre's waiting area, a man came out to inform the crowd that 1 pair of onstage seats were left for the matinee and 3 pairs for the evening, in addition to their normal rush seats. I was probably the 15th patron in line and when I got up, I asked politely if they had one onstage seat left for the evening show. He said he had exactly one left and so I bought it. He was very friendly as was all of the staff at this theatre. | | Standing Room Experience: | | | Experience with handicap accessibility: | |

09:11 am EST 02/12/07 | | Row: | G | | Seat number: | 101 | | Location: | Center Orchestra | | Location Front/Rear: | Front of section | | Show you saw: | Spring Awakening | | Date you attended: | 2/10/2007 | | Siteline Rating: | | | Sightline description: | Great site line. Prefect view of stage. If you are short and a very tall person sits right in front of you there may be an issue, but other than that nothing else blocks your view. | | Seating comfort: | | | Seating description: | Good leg room and seating comfort. | | Rush Policy Experience: | | | Standing Room Experience: | | | Experience with handicap accessibility: | |

09:36 am EST 01/29/07 | | Row: | B | | Seat number: | 2, 4, 6 | | Location: | Right Orchestra | | Location Front/Rear: | Front of section | | Show you saw: | Spring Awakening | | Date you attended: | 01/07/2007 | | Siteline Rating: | | | Sightline description: | The sightlines were good. A bit to the side. If you were to sit any farther over I would view those as partial view as you miss the edges of the stage. | | Seating comfort: | | | Seating description: | Seat 2&4 were good because an aisle and no seats in front of you. | | Rush Policy Experience: | | | Standing Room Experience: | | | Experience with handicap accessibility: | |

05:21 pm EST 11/29/05 | | Row: | H | | Seat number: | 3 | | Location: | Left Orchestra | | Location Front/Rear: | Front of section | | Show you saw: | Sweeney Todd | | Date you attended: | 11/23/05 | | Siteline Rating: | | | Sightline description: | Excellent sightlines, but my only quibble is with the blocking of the actors. From my seat, I could not see some of the stage right actors as from my angle they are lined up directly in back of eachother when sitting playing their instruments. A minor complaint. | | Seating comfort: | | | Seating description: | Comfy seats. | | Rush Policy Experience: | | | Standing Room Experience: | | | Experience with handicap accessibility: | |

07:54 am EST 11/03/05 | | Row: | AA | | Seat number: | 114 | | Location: | Center Orchestra | | Location Front/Rear: | Front of section | | Show you saw: | Sweeney Todd | | Date you attended: | October 2005 | | Siteline Rating: | | | Sightline description: | Front row. End seats in this row are closer to the stage than the middle seats (the row is curved). The stage is a little high, but not unusually so. Could see a good bit of the offstage space, and I think the lighting effects can't be fully appreciated from this location. | | Seating comfort: | | | Seating description: | | | Rush Policy Experience: | | | Standing Room Experience: | | | Experience with handicap accessibility: | |
