I was seeing Phantom (the movie) yesterday and this woman actually started talking on her cell...people yelled at her to take it outside and she acted all offended. ARGH.
But in the Broadway theatres, we have the morons who, when I show them their seats, ask where their loved ones are sitting. Um, NEXT TO YOU? Or when I tell them to sit on the aisle, they sit in the middle of the row?
This afternoon there were two chicks with a cameraphone and I had to go all Camera Nazi Usher on them, and then of course, I'm a bitch. ARGH

I love the people that dont read the sub board in the lobby.. Or those stupid people that write reviews for the papers and get cast member names wrong, or plots and characters wrong..

Today, I specifically told two people to go up to Row L and turn LEFT. What do they do? Turn right. And sit in seats 101 and 102 instead of 2 and 4.
I also enjoy yelling at the people in the front row to "please take your belongings OFF the railing. And that INCLUDES Playbills."

OMG Shub that reminds me.. the front row of rushers got yelled at the first night in Baltimore because this one guy tried to steal the key.. I had made him give it back, and he was all mad at me.. Then the house manager came and told us all to stay away from the stage.. I was so mad!

Haha! Gotta love stupid people, Shub.
At the Shakespeare Festival here, one of the theatres is three-sided thrust, so that when you're sitting in the front row, your feet are on the floor of the stage.
I'm a seasonal subscriber, and I take classes and do summer stock there.
The other day, I was sitting in the front row, and at intermission I got up to go out of the theatre. This, of course, involved walking across several feet of the stage floor. As I'm walking out, I hear this woman turn to her husband and say, "Did you see that kid? Walking ON THE STAGE? They shouldn't let teenage punks like her come to decent theatre here!"

Posted: 12/30/04 at 12:57amGrr I hate the cell phones. I especially love the people who get there early and the people they're supposed to be with are late, and then they stand up right where they're sitting to try and help the others find their seats or to see where they are. And I'm only 5'3 so if someone stands up in front of me, I don't see anything, even if I move around.

Okay, random, but I just washed my hair.
Time to see what the new 'do looks like curly.
I'm thinking a kind of JLK look, for those of you who saw last year's tour.

If I remember correctly there was a thread on props people own from shows, and quite a few people were very proud of themselves for owning 'the key' haha

Posted: 12/30/04 at 1:05amThey pay you a dollar for doing the inserts. They give it to you in the little envelope your theatre tickets come in. It's very amusing.
