It would be a good idea to give them a call. It might be safer for you if you sit in the wheelchair in wheelchair seating to avoid being jostled, having to get up and down for your row-mates, etc. If you are bringing a wheelchair but sitting in regular seating, it's likely they will have to stow it for you during the performance. I'm not sure if crutches will fit under the seats, since there may be hardware between the seats that blocks them -- this may be section-specific, too -- but they should be able to discuss the logistics with you.

I am pretty sure you can stow crutches under the seats because I'm sure my father must have done that. He didn't go really once he needed a wheelchair so I cant speak to that. But he was on crutches from when I was 7 and I know he went after that.
