“Martin Scorsese no longer watches films in cinemas due to audience bad behaviour” - has your theatregoing been affected in the same way?

2025, 10:08:10 PM
I have AMC A-List and see 3-4 movies a month on average. Since you can see how many tickets are reserved for any screening, I do lean toward the less-popular showtimes - usually matinees - to mitigate the chances by having fewer people present.
And in re: Broadway - no, "bad audience behavior" doesn't discourage me from attending.

Not really --- I was offended by the fact that this survey was blatantly asking an out & proud gay man if they thought this musical would appeal to straight men.
Unfortuantely, "How the hell would i know??!!?' was not a box i could check."
Is the survey supposed to know you're gay and only email you survey

Birdie Boy said: "Why aren’t there any revues on broadway?? I want Florenz Ziegfeld, I want vaudeville, I want jubilee"
Because no one - at least not enough people to keep it going on Broadway - wants those things. Vaudeville died for a reason.
That said, we literally just had Old Friends, a Sondheim revue, on Broadway this past season. Though I'm guessing it doesn't meet your definition, as you're wanting live entertainment from th

It is not AI. They said it's by an artist known as Goodog, and a quick check of that artist's instagram shows they're a 3D motion graphics artist.
And I think it's adorable! A new spin on the OG art which was made out of clay.

Just last week, I started the early stages of planning my yearly trip to New York over Thanksgiving and I simply can't justify it. Chess and Ragtime tickets are really too high for me to be able to afford it anymore. Our last trip we paid about 200-250$ a ticket for standard seats. For years we were able to get ample discounts for buyi

TLDR means "too long, didn't read" and is a way to "cut to the chase" of the message.

I haven't and won't be seeing this, but I'm seeing several of my theatre-avid friends going via their Instagram and most are saying they enjoyed it/it made them cry (positive). That said, if they have negative thoughts, they don't usually put them out there.

There is no secret sauce.
Or perhaps there is, though no one knows the recipe. e.g. Wicked was not met with raves and did not win Best Musical, and yet here it is, 22 years later, and Avenue Q, the &qu

Kristin Chenoweth shares curious post about ‘being disliked’ after NBA national anthem uproar
Jun 23
2025, 06:13:47 PM
Can't think of any time KC has ever been criticized for a performance....????
The Get Off My Lawn crowd doesn't like it when the anthem is sung too fast, too slowly, or if any vocalist gets "inventive" with it. Kristin sang it slowly and unnecessarily sang a high note. Double whammy on Kristin.

Haven't been, but saw Eden showed up at the last one and sang a bunch of Wicked and Lempicka songs.
Got the vibe that it's a bit like a very focused Con - cosplay and superfans.

Is Jasmine the only Best Actor/Actress in a Musical performer NOT performing? I haven't cross-checked. If she's not the only one, this argument is COMPLETELY moot.
If she is the only one, it makes it feel icky and unfair, but again, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Sometimes there are great performances in subpar shows. It's not deeper than that.

In Playbill's article with the Open Letter, they linked to a live, unlocked Google Doc "for any artist who wishes to add their name, and it's just a free-for-all. At a glance, I saw Glee's Rachel Berry and our Civil War President, Abe Lincoln, have also signed the letter.
Seems that could have been moderated a bit better. lolz

Saw this tonight thanks to TDF. 11th row on the center aisle. A $55 steal.
I love the series. I knew it was a prequel. But, I did not remember everything of the series because Season 1 was 9? years ago. But that didn't impact my ability to follow the story, and it was fun being reminded of things.
The SFX were all pretty cool, and I'm sure it's been said earlier in this thread (which I have not read due to not wanting spoilers), but reminded me a lot of Cursed Child&

There's so much other stuff going on press-wise on Opening Nights that I think press teams are just not trying to force press into that moment and letting it be more for the people involved.
Some shows have shared their own content from it. I know Redwood something on Opening Night, and Old Friends just shared theirs today: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIubZdNNlEM/
