Ice creams have been sold at Australian theatres for as long as I can remember, what is worse are those flashing glasses ( cocktail ) that are now sold at nearly every show. Yes Wicked does need help, but I am not sure if the waving of lighted green glasses help!
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 3/26/14 at 4:16amEating in the theater is just plain rude. The actors deserve your full attention.

Posted: 3/26/14 at 6:32amThe Neil Simon sold popcorn while HAIRSPRAY played there. That was my first encounter with food in the theater. I haven't seen very much if any of it since.

I really wish they would ban food and drink during Broadway shows.
It won't empty the theatres anymore than the ban on smoking emptied bars and restaurants.
Enough already.

Saw RAISIN over the weekend, and it was one of the BEST audiences I've seen in a while. No snacking, no drinking except the occasional bottle of water, no talking or texting or excessive fidgeting. An audience watching an exemplary production of a great play with rapt attention.
That said, I agree with besty. I'd love to see food and drink banned in seats. (And food in general, really.)
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 3/26/14 at 10:42amDitto. Keep your appetite and eat after the play.

Posted: 3/26/14 at 3:55pmThe money is too good, any complaints will just fall on deaf ears, respectful audience members and people who don't need to eat every second be damned. It's not the fukcing movies and people treat it like that now. Luckily, there are still tons of little theaters off Broadway that don't allow people the opportunity to behave like that.

Posted: 3/27/14 at 10:04amThank you for the report on the snacking situation. I hope to see Raisin soon and will be ready for anything. I have to report that at Les Miz last night it was exactly this situation. During the quietest parts of the score the dimwits around me decided it was time to break out the chips and have themselves a crinkle contest. During "On my Own" and "Little Fall of Rain" it was hard to listen to Nikki sing and feel her character's pain when I was wishing I could just get up and go smack someone.

Worse than the chips/edibles: their packaging and the people who don't think twice about opening them! A woman behind me in Cabaret had a candy of sort wrapped in cellophane that was incredibly loud when opened...and she opened the package repeatedly throughout the performance. She was shushed repeatedly patrons in the audience (myself included) and her response was: "well they sell it here."
Lets take a minute to appreciate the stupidity of this circumstance: true, patron may have been sold a product that the producers should have thought twice about selling (stupid on the producers part), but patron is pissing off everyone around her by opening said package and feels she is somehow absolved from societal norms of decency (incredibly stupid on patron's part).
Ugh...I hate people sometimes...

Posted: 3/27/14 at 11:32amI don't see the big deal of eating a snack in the theatre. As long as its a tiny little snack, doesn't smell, and you arent making noises with the bag.

My wife is pre diabetic and sometimes has to carry something to eat quickly.
If I unwrap a cough drop wrapper, she looks at me like I murdered someone.

Roxy, try cough drops wrapped in wax paper, unwrapping one in plastic is incredibly rude.
"I don't see the big deal of eating a snack in the theatre. As long as its a tiny little snack, doesn't smell, and you arent making noises with the bag."
You just described a snack that doesn't exist and isn't sold in the theater.

"But Hotdogs aren't noisy are they?"
That's hardly the only point here.
Hot dogs have a strong smell. And after you've consumed that reeking, smelly hot dog, possibly dropping sour kraut, onions, and/or relish all over the place. Then what are you going to do with the filthy napkin or tissue paper you were holding? Put it in one of those noisy brown paper bags you came in with? And let's not forget about the clean up job that must be done under that seat.
During the time I was house manager, it was my job to scour the theater after the show to check for lost and found. Some of the things I always "found" are the following:
1. empty/half empty beer and soda cans. The half empty ones had their contents soaking into the carpet.
2. produce. Full and half eaten. Lots of banana peels, apple cores,etc.
3. mountains of peanut shells. I said MOUNTAINS
4. candy wrappers-empty, full, half full. Some with melted chocolate seeping into the carpet.
5. PUDDLES OF VOMIT
F*CKiNg pigs.

That's probably better than finding them having sex in the catwalks above your head

Posted: 3/27/14 at 4:49pmI want to know if you found any used condoms, Jane.
#47Raisin in the Sun- the audience eats potato chips
Posted: 3/27/14 at 6:03pmWhat I want to know is who throws up a huge puddle and stays in their seat until the end of the show.

"What I want to know is who throws up a huge puddle and stays in their seat until the end of the show."
Jane, you'd be surprised at the Rock of Ages crowd. lol
When I was at Cabaret, the woman at my table kept shaking the ice in her glass and shaking her paper M & Ms bag and chomping on them. Vile.

Posted: 3/27/14 at 7:06pmTrue, they probably get drunker at Rock of Ages than at Hedwig.
