24-70, could be a good choice for this situation and for my needs?

[QUOTE="hark, post: 648992, member: 13196"] If a 24-70mm will allow you to be close enough without having to crop much, then it should be fine. I used to photograph the local high school's drama productions, but I had to stay up in the balcony. I was far away so the 70-200mm f/2.8 worked better for me. Plus I always had my lens on a tripod. The only time I ran into trouble was when they had a technical glitch and wound up turning the house lights on low rather than to use spot lights. It wasn't quite bright enough for the auto focus to work. Other than being in extreme low light, the 24-70 should serve you well. If possible, go for one with VR since your shutter speed may not be overly fast. [/QUOTE]
