The Ultimate Guide to Sitting Onstage at Spring Awakening

Playbill Features: "Up-close views of certain parts of the anatomy are not the only attractions of sitting in one of the 26 onstage seats at the new Broadway musical Spring Awakening. You can also hear actual singing voices, as opposed to amplified ones. You can give the actors a pat on the back — or get kicked by errant choreography."

I saw Spring Awakening over winter break, and from the perspective of someone who sat in the mezzanine, i would never want to watch this show from the side. It is unforgivingly staged and lit for precenium, and even if you like being in the spit on an actor, you miss out on the spectacle of the show, which by the way is very exciting. The set is very tall and lots of flash'n'trash occurs in the audience. (For the record, I love flash'n'trash)
