Hi KaimiK...
Thank you again...you were sort of the catalyst that propelled Mary and later me into researching those pit seats in Phoenix! Mary was so awesome and so cool. Everything in her Leonard tote, and at the first note of whichever song she simply stood up and placed the chocolates/rose...tea/oranges...monkey/violin right in the center of the front stage! Of course it helps considerably to be seated in the front row! But it is still do-able from several rows back. You mainly have to know the set list to a T, and anticipate what song will come next. If it is the one you want to do something with then simply say "excuse me, excuse me, oops sorry"...then quickly slouch down the aisle and pop whatever onto the stage! Concentrate on the right side of the stage. The women are great but I think it's the men who will pick up on whatever item is there.
The little monkey was so funny! It was actually a
cute monkey with this carved out plywood violin and bow velcro'd to him. It was so cool to see Leonard (and Sharon) laugh, and then for Leonard to pick him up and hold him high! If it's something unusual, or something he wouldn't expect, then it's all the more special and spontaneous!
Good luck!
Diana
ps...actually I thought of throwing myself on the stage, but security would have dragged me away
