OK, I talked to the box office, here's some more info: There will be reserved orchestra seats for those donors who fork over $125, per the website. They will have a separate box office for "Priority Admission" for "Friends", which is what you get for $50. If you do it online you'll need to follow-up by phone to get a membership number. If you have a membership you don't need to wait in the general line.
They'll begin letting folks in around 10:45. Seats are first come, first served. There's no eating in the theater, but they do have a cafe in the complex. They won't force anyone out, but if you abandon your seats they become fair game. I'm assuming that if you're with someone they can save your seat if you go to the bathroom, etc. The lady I spoke to seemed shocked that I was intending to stay for the entire 12-hour presentation...I tried as best I could to explain my bizarre obsession with Joni covers. :~) She did confirm that the ENTIRE show would be broadcast on the radio. For last years W2W (Richard Rodgers) they released a CD. They will NOT be doing that this year as they could not secure the royalties/rights/whatever. Anyway, I feel a bit more secure now than I did this morning... Bob NP: Mellencamp, "Just Like You"
