See that yellow dot? That's where I was sitting. The red dots were duhmom , desdomonda , and the youngest sibling of the family. (My sister was the lone red-dot towards the back of the orchestra seating area... not as good of a view, but she had sat second-row before, and didn't mind sitting further back.)

Oh, and I had the BEST view of Angel's underwear under the little Santa-Clause-ette skirt... even when (s)he wasn't technically showing it to the audience... although that happened plenty of times too. I'm telling you... that cast had the best set of arses in the universe... all on one stage. And I was within feet of it. During "Seasons of Love", they were standing close enough that if I had stood up, I could have reached out and touched the nearest one without really leaning forward. Oh! And during curtain-calls, the man who sang the first "Christmas bells are ringing" (I think it was Shaun Earl) made eye-contact with me, winked, and gave me a huge smile. I was thrilled.
