Fourth wall breakage is awesome though! I love it when actors do that...they did it a bunch in Wicked, too, but that was just unprofessional. The whole show was like one drawn-out competition between Kristin and Eden to see who could crack the other up first, which resulted in them cracking Norbert and Randy Harrison up instead. VERY funny but VERY unprofessional.
I always wonder how much of th elooking out into the audience actually is fourth-wall breakage, also. They can't actually see that far out. Maybe five rows. Max. After that the lights turn everyone into silhouettes. So contrary to common stage advice, it's actually impossible to stare at the back wall cuz you can't see it. But yeah, I definitely got a look for crying too loud at Aida...oh well. It wasn't an evil look, it was a really cute sympathetic look. ::swoon::
