I saw SITPWG and left at intermission. I have a passion for this piece and couldn't bear one more minute of enduring that horrible revival. August, on the otherhand, was wonderful. I'm going again tonight.
It's Rocky and the actors should have expected it. Most people know what it's all about and know what they are getting themselves into when they agree to do the show.
Every production I have seen of it (even the Bway revival) the audience participates. In my experience, they actually encourage it. For instance, the Bway revival sold Rocky bags. If it was a taboo, the bags wouldn't have been sold. Rocky has such a cult following that it's nearly impossible to stage it or show the film without any of the hoopla going on.
It's Rocky...What were they expecting? It's definitely NOT quality theater....Just a great time for the audience....For goodness sakes, they sold Rocky bags with confetti to throw and a card with lines on it for the audience to interject with....IMO.
^^ Cards were for when Frank sings "Cards of sorrow, cards of shame" in I'm coming home Frank: "What ever happened to Fay Wray?" Audience: "She went ape sh*#"
I agree with you, Sweetestsiren. She was Fantastic as the crazy, bipolar, nut, Marla, in Fight Club. I'm eagerly anticipating her performance as Mrs. Lovett in this movie.
