"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott

I've won twice in the last three months, and both times my seat was in the rear Orchestra on the left side, a few seats in from the aisle. Row S and T, if I recall correctly. Perfectly good view of the show.

defyingravity11, $40 was the full price (no fees).

Broadway Joe, you're so lucky to have won an aisle seat! Did you see the new Gloria understudy Christie Prades? How was she?

Yes and I honestly would have never known she was an understudy if it wasn't for the playbill. I thought she even sounded better then Ana from the performance I saw of hers on the Tonys.

Hi there

saw the show for the second time last Friday and that was the first day that Christine was on. She actually did an excellent job and I was comparing her with Ana's performance that I saw a few months back. Her whole family was there that night and her mom was beaming with pride at the stage door afterwards.

I was told by one of the ushers that Ana had been off for at least a week due to voice problems- hope not too serious.....

I also saw the show Friday (Christie's first) and thought it and she was phenomenal. It was my first time seeing it so I don't have any comparisons to Ana other than the Tonys and other clips I've seen, but Christie was really strong. She was so sweet at stage door.

According to Ana's Twitter (https://twitter.com/aanavee/status/749732360988553217), she is out until the 10th --- which I think is Josh Segarra's last show --- and currently in rehearsals with Ektor Rivera, the new Emilio. Though the usher could also be correct and she may not want to say so publicly.

That's great to hear! I've seen Ana and Linedy (who was good, but I was biased having seen Ana first). I'm hoping to catch the show again this week since Josh is leaving on Sunday (side note: I saw the OYF performance on PBS 4th of July, and I wasn't impressed with his replacement). I believe Christie is performing all week until Ana returns Sunday, so hopefully I'll be able to catch her!

Just entered the lottery today for a single ticket. I hope I win because I want to see the show before Josh leaves on Sunday and tonight is really my only option. Fingers crossed that I win and that he is in! Would be cool to meet him at the stage door!

Just wanted to report back and say that I won the lotto again last night and had seats in Row H on the left. Excellent view! I arrived at 6:20, and my theory is that the earlier you get in line to pick the tickets up, the better the seats are (the last two times I waited until 10 minutes before showtime rather than 30 minutes and had seats further back in the orchestra).

Also wanted to confirm what others have said about Christie Prades! She's great, and has really good chemistry with Josh. Sad to see him leave this weekend as he is a big highlight of the show for me.

I saw the show last night as well. I loved it. I won the lottery and was in Row D, seat 5 and had a blast. Loved the show, loved the performances. A really fun show to watch. Glad I got to see Josh in it before he leaves, but I will definitely be back so I can catch Ana.

No joke, I've somehow managed to lose the lottery close to 10 times. Nice to hear that the seats are good though!
