So, some backstory: a friend of mine (from kindergarten!) was in town because her son, an actor, was in "Next to Normal" at DCPA. This was the closing night, and the theater was nearly full.
We arrived just in time, picked up our tickets at Will Call, and were quickly seated near the stage. The acoustics were great.
The production was wonderful. Difficult subject matter--my daughter cried, and said that the man next to her cried, too--covered with grace and song.
Seats were comfortable, typical theater seats. The theater was a bit cold, but I had brought a large cashmere wrap, which my daughter and I shared.
