I managed to see The Dream Is Alive too - and agree with the rave reviews.

If you want a good seat (near the middle of the theatre, NOT near one edge
of the screen) I think the way to do it is to buy tickets for two consecutive
presentations and move to the center between the two.  (I've forgotten how
the schedule runs - you might have to sit through flights through the Grand
Canyon in order to get a good seat for the shuttle flight.)
