To continue the theater saga, yesterday was the day we went to "Next to Normal." And yes, it was *another* musical. A Pulitzer Prize winning musical. We laughed, we cried and when the curtain came down and the lights came up, the entire audience was deep in a snowstorm of kleenex.
When we buy our tickets (through TDF) we never know where we will be sitting. We don't get to choose. As we approached the will call window before the show, I saw that the most inexpensive seats were in Row H of the mezzanine. Because the crowd was huge, and because we had TDF tickets, I assumed that's where we would be sitting. And sure enough, when we picked up our tickets, we were in seats 2 and 4 of row H. Up we marched and down we sat. But then, uh oh, somebody else came to claim our seats. We patiently explained to them how to interpret the seating assignments, whereupon they pointed to the word "orchestra" on our tickets. Then they offered to trade. Ha ha ha.

There's a hole here somewhere. Yesterday, Twila wrote that you had bought orchestra seats for "Next to Normal." Yet, in today's post, you say you were surprised that your seats were Orchestra seats. Maybe yesterday's post was written after you returned from the (matinee?) show?
You are so astute, Dan.
